I wonder if he too is seeking to profit from this? :rolleyes:
Do these folks ever get tired of lying, or is it literally second nature for them?

Democrat to Voters: FBI Investigation for SCOTUS Nominee ‘Standard Procedure for Decades’
A Connecticut Democratic member of Congress sent out an email letter to voters in his district in which he said it has been “standard procedure for decades” to have Supreme Court nominees with new allegations against them investigated by the FBI.

U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney wrote to voters in his district Friday that Christine Blasey Ford’s “powerful and credible testimony should give every member of the U.S. Senate pause before moving forward on this nomination for a lifetime appointment to our nation’s highest court.”
Courtney continued:
That is why I strongly support the proposal today by Republican Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona who is asking that a final vote [on] Kavanaugh’s nomination be delayed until after the FBI has completed an investigation into the accusations of sexual misconduct against him. It has been standard procedure for decades to refer any new allegations made against a Supreme Court nominee to the FBI for review, and it would be completely unprecedented if an investigation was not undertaken in this instance.
Courtney, however, is feeding false information to the voters of his district. The standard procedure, in fact, is for the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate new allegations, not the FBI. The Senate Judiciary Committee has its own investigative staff.
Thomas Jipping, deputy director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, observed at the Daily Signal that, first, Democrats have already made clear their motivation for another delay: they hope the continued cloud of controversy over Kavanaugh will defeat his nomination and hold the vacant seat on the Supreme Court open until, presumably, they win control of the Senate.
Secondly, Jipping pointed out the demand for another FBI investigation “is not valid and based on a complete misunderstanding of the bureau’s role.”
“Kavanaugh’s opponents want people to think that the FBI is on standby, ready to run down all the leads and figure out what really happened,” he wrote. “That may be what a law enforcement agency does in the criminal justice system—as seen on TV—but not in the confirmation process.”
