As we told you last night, Debra S. Katz, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s attorney, was not entirely thrilled with the reopened FBI investigation as President Trump limited its scope and time. Which just about everyone could have predicted would happen:
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED SUCH A RESPONSE? (aside from everyone with a brain) https://t.co/Fo3vKqC5TV

The moving of the goalposts has been going on since day one:
Why it's almost as though the Democrats have been artificially moving the goalposts for weeks in an effort to push Kavanaugh's nomination beyond the midterms! Hold the fort! https://t.co/dmpWWidmas

But, that was the point all along:
All part of the plan!
Delay. Delay. Delay. https://t.co/R7pwC0MDdv

"Surely one week is fair and reasonable."
*agrees to one week*
*WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ARTIFICIAL LIMITATIONS TO ONLY ONE WEEK."
It's like they've never seen this trick before.

Yes, why would they do this?
Having gotten the FBI investigation they asked for, why start looking for ways not to take the win? https://t.co/Z1c22tchE3

We all know the answer:
This is a rhetorical question, right? You know the answer.
My question: Why are you surprised?

Guy Benson is right:
The goal is not to appease the implacable. It’s to show more good faith for wavering Senators & voters. https://t.co/eLD8BoF5p4

In reality, it was Dems who said the FBI didn’t need a lot of time:
.@ChrisCoons, yesterday, reassured Brett Kavanaugh it only took a "four day delay" for the FBI to investigate Clarence Thomas.
Today, Dr. Ford's attorneys are blasting "artificial" time limit of one week.

But the facts don’t matter:
No matter how much Republicans give in, in the end, they will still be accused of having rammed and rushed through the nomination.

Because when the FBI doesn’t find anything to nuke Kavanaugh next week, this is what’s coming:
Next week's debate:
Rs: "The FBI investigated this and found nothing."
Dems: "Everybody knows the FBI doesn't reach conclusions!"

This starts on Tuesday is a good bet:
This will be the prevailing view among grassroots Democrats by Tuesday. https://t.co/3EUSiiwVlM

Have we started "this isn't enough time for the FBI to do a good job" Twitter yet?

A week? Mulder and Scully never needed more than an hour.

Call me cynical, but I'm just not sure Democrats will find a one week FBI investigation of the Kavanaugh situation sufficient.
