This is rich.  They should tell her that they will turn over in two weeks. 

What is your problem with her request?

To be fair, I am sure the FBI has been receiving A LOT of anonymous tips attempting to corroborate stories on both sides. That said, no one is accusing this of being the WH or senate’s doing, are they? Is this going to just turn into the left’s turn to take a shot at how rigged and partisan the FBI is?

everyone has accused this of being the white house's doing.  it has been explicitly stated that it's the white house's doing in every report.

[sys]

that can't have been a serious question.

Are they really telling the FBI they can’t talk to squi? I thought for sure it was fake news.

I mean, there’s nothing I can say to change your mind if you believe Trump’s administration functions so seamlessly and efficiently that every FBI field office knows they should give certain tipsters the runaround based on a WH directive issued just a few days ago.

More plausible explanation: the FBI is focusing on people with knowledge of key events as opposed to those who admit they have no firsthand knowledge. I have no doubt they’ll get to the peripheral folks later if they deem it necessary. We’re on day 1 and people are complaining about who isn’t getting interviewed.

Fake news, am I right?

we're on day three and i can't believe the level of spin to which you are sinking.

there's ol' catastrophe cheering for the rapist again

[star seed 7]

It's actually known that the white house has specifically limited who the fbi can talk to (unless you believe trump's tweet denying that actually releases the fbi to talk to whoever they need to). This is not a disputeable fact bud.

[catastrophe]

My understanding (from NPR this morning) is that they’re investigating current and credible allegations against Kav, and that the FBI has discretion to determine what fits into that category. Is that not right?

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Wait, the libtards are now alleging Trump is directing the FBI in how to do its job?????  BWAHAHAHAHAHA 

[star seed 7]

It's unclear because trump.

Mcgahn initially gave the limited interview scope, nbc(?) reported about it, trump tweets that it's fake news and the fbi can do what they want, Feinstein requests clarity (ha, that's rich coming from her right!!!!) and hasn't gotten anything yet as far as I know.

the thread you're posting in, how long have you gone without reading it?

[catastrophe]

There’s a difference between reading unsubstantiated rumors and giving them credit. I’m just asking for the latest confirmed facts.

I did read an op ed from Jim Comey today that seemed pretty optimistic the FBI would do a thorough job.

[sys]

flake talking right now, making it pretty clear that he is pushing back on the limitations. 

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Why do Democrats who have opposed BK since he was nominated require an fbi investigation? If it comes back clear are they going to support him????

Amazing what kind of spine your grow in Washington when you aren’t seeking re-election
