I know it's fox and some will blow it off but this is what the President is trying to avoid. The dems sent a letter to the FBI with a list of names of people and businesses that they think the FBI should interview....over 5 dozen names..... Democrats said they want to expand the investigation to see if Kavanaugh lied to the committee about ever getting black out drunk.....seriously WTF cares if he got drunk in high school or college. For *** sake I remember crawling up barracks stairwells while puking my guys out when I was 18 in the Army just about every weekend when not deployed.

The expansive list highlighted Democrats' apparent effort to broaden the inquiry into Kavanaugh beyond the sexual misconduct allegations against him to focus instead on whether he misled Senate investigators by denying that he had ever "blacked out" from drinking.
Other Democrats have sought to expand the scope of the FBI's probe in recent days.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders wrote in a weekend letter that the FBI should do more than just probe the accusations, but also should conduct an investigation into whether Kavanaugh was honest during his hearing. He called for investigating whether Kavanaugh committed perjury, "given the very serious fact that lying to Congress is a federal crime."
"A fundamental question the FBI can help answer is whether Judge Kavanaugh has been truthful with the committee,” Sanders said. “This goes to the very heart of whether he should be confirmed to the court.”
In other cases, Democrats who enthusiastically called for an FBI investigation last week now seem to be downplaying it.
“Yes, of course there should be an FBI investigation,” Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy tweeted Friday. “But whatever they find doesn’t change the fact that Kavanaugh, especially after his performance yesterday, is the most dangerous Supreme Court pick of our lifetime.”
And Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, on Sunday refused to answer whether Democrats had leaked Ford's letter, and instead suggested the FBI would conduct a "farce" of a probe.
