Senate Dems urge FBI to probe threats against Ford; those against Kavanaugh and kin unmentioned

Article here. Excerpt:
'Senate Democrats on Thursday called for the FBI to investigate threats against Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault more than three decades ago.
But they pointedly did not request a similar probe of threats against Kavanaugh or his family.
In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and joined by all Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., calls for federal authorities to take "immediate action ... to investigate potential federal crimes against Dr. Christine Blasey Ford."
The Democrats, saying the threats involve laws against interstate threats of violence, as well as federal witness intimidation and obstruction laws, add in the letter that they "strongly believe that how Dr. Blasey Ford is treated in this moment reflects upon how seriously our nation treats credible claims of sexual assault, and whether we have learned from past mistakes."'

The Dems take a total...
... lack of integrity to a whole new level. It's like "The Vile Prize" comes with a $2 million cash award and a free holiday in Tunisia, contraceptives supplied.
