Why is Dianne Feinstein now demanding the FBI results NOT be made public after she was the one demanding the investegation?

The president knows.

The only places I could follow are all Republican propaganda sited SO ^ ! ! !

Links?

Source? I don’t see it.

However, if someone thinks an investigation was arbitrarily restricted or abbreviated enough to skew its results, that might be a good reason to oppose release of its findings.

I’d post a source @Yellowdog but maybe because Kavanaugh is innocent??

@Yellowdog I can’t find any legitimate source reporting this claim. The closest thing I found was a statement by Feinstein that the FBI’s investigation into Ford’s claims will not be credible unless they are allowed to interview Ford, Kavanaugh, or any of the potential witnesses named by Ramirez. She made this statement in response to reports that the White House had not given the FBI authority to perform interviews with certain people (such as Ford and Kavanaugh). And to be fair, it does seem like any sufficient investigation into Ford and Kavanaugh should probably involve Ford and Kavanaugh in some way.

Your full of facts @Yellowdog but you never post a link ,or even say where you learned such a fact,WHY?????

Only thing you do is post crap, falsehoods, lies.
No links, sources.
You don’t reply when people ask you where you get it from.

This is my last time communicating with you.
I believe you are a troll.

I, too, would like a source, @Yellowdog, such a statement needs some back-up.

@SergeantQueen, the question isn’t about whether or not Kavanaugh is innocent, it’s about @Yellowdog’s assertion that Feinstein behaved a certain way.

It probably comes from this National Review article. The fourth paragraph. The context is slightly different than implied by the OP. But you asked for a source…

I think I can help. Most of the hoo-haw over Feinstein wanting to keep the FBI investigation results private as opposed to public comes from a tweet by CNN’s Elizabeth Landers

This isn’t really a shocker. The real shocker would be if anyone were actually wanting the investigation report to be public. That report has a lot of personal information in it from people they talked with. It should not, for reasons of privacy, be made public. It has nothing to do with trying to hide results. I would wage my next paycheck, though, that parts of this report will be leaked by one side or the other. Or both.

Respect for privacy.

@josie @seawulf575 Thanks for the sources. Very helpful. So it seems that Feinstein is not saying that the results should not be made public (contrary to @Yellowdog‘s assertion), but that the report itself should not be made public. But FBI background check reports are almost never made public, so it’s a bit odd that Feinstein felt the need to make a statement about it (or that reporters thought it was something in need of emphasizing). But I guess politics rarely makes perfect sense.

I think the way the one tweet I saw was worded, it made it sound like Feinstein had decided against making the report public, but I suspect she was just clarifying that it couldn’t be. Though I am with you….why bring it up at all? Or why not just say that because of the privacy issues the results cannot be aired to the public?

@seawulf575 Yeah, it’s definitely odd. One possibility is that she was asked a direct question and the media is only reporting her response without any of the context (which is bad journalism, but it would fit with your suspicion that she was just clarifying the situation). Another possibility is that she was trying to get credit for something that was going to happen anyway (which is politics at its most stupid, but that’s par for the course). I think the bad journalism option is more likely, but we’ll know I’m wrong if Feinstein tries to make a big deal out of keeping it private later.

I heard this morning that is was a requirement by law that it be kept private.

@canidmajor I am fully aware of the question.
He asked why she isn’t wanting the results shown (I know there is an argument regarding the validity of that, I’m just going off the question itself) and my thought was, if he was innocent, she might not have wanted that shown.
