Trump has been tweeting shots at NBC for that story but Fox News carried it as well and made their own report on it saying the same thing.

Democrats planning to examine Trump’s tax returns after the midterms

A nearly 100-year old statute allows the chairmen of Congress’ tax committees to look at anyone’s returns.

White House Imposes Tight Constraints on FBI Review
TPM

So much for a fair open ended investagation.

I think they wanted to also use it as a fishing expedition to try to see if they can fabricate find some skeletons. That's why President Trump preemptively authorized it to be a limited supplementary background investigation with a one week time limit. By putting that out there he prevented the Democrats from fabricating their own witch hunt with a 2025 time limit that's authorized to look into anything the Democrats feel warrants a look.

The FBI's background investigation won't find anything it hasn't already found, add a few pages of testimony from the three people Ford, and only Ford, has named where there, who have already said under oath they don't remember the incident. They might ask those individuals what Kavanaugh's character is like, and then close the record.

It'll do exactly what it's supposed to do, investigate Dr Ford's allegations and one other. That's it, end of story, no Democrat sponsored multi-year fishing expedition with secret goals written on secret memo's that only Democrats know about.

This one cannot be multi year* because its limited to one week.

This one cannot be fair because its limited to four witnesses.

*That comes in January anyway.

To the four witness's already identified.

This is just to investigate the unsubstantiated allegations that two women made against Judge Kavanaugh. That's it, nothing else. It's not a criminal investigation because there has been no criminal complaint filed, it's a limited background investigation. This isn't to find something that the Democrats can later use against a Republican, sorry if that makes it "unfair" for your side.

But hey when have the Democrats ever let something as inconvenient as the truth or due process get in their way. Power at any cost.

Limits to FBI's Kavanaugh investigation have not changed, despite Trump's comments
Trump’s Saturday night tweet has not changed the limits imposed by the White House counsel’s office on the FBI's Kavanaugh investigation, sources say.

NBC news

TLDR: They cannot talk to anyone who could possibly testify to Kavanaugh's perjury.

We're all about empowering minorities to speak their minds... unless they stray from their preappointed course as Democrat voters. Then you mock and boo the crap out of them.

Quote:
The Well-Known Game of Devil’s Triangle

1. The game requires three players: the Dealer, the Kavanaugh, and the Public.

2. The players are seated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle that has been drawn on a circular table using masking tape.

3. The Dealer and the Kavanaugh are each given a 14-oz. crystal Pilsner glass in Waterford’s Lismore pattern.

4. The Public is issued a red solo cup.

5. All three glasses are placed just inside the triangle, within easy reach of the players.

6. The Butler, who is not a player but is probably around given the players, fills the crystal glasses with Sapporo Space Beer, made from barley that was grown on the International Space Center. (1980s editions of the game substituted Westmalle Trippel.)

7. The Public gets Natural Light in a can. Under no circumstances is it to be chilled.

8. Play proceeds clockwise, beginning with the Public.

9. On the Public’s turn, the player takes a quarter from his or her pocket and hands it to the Dealer.

10. Play then passes to the Dealer, who takes the quarter, puts it in his pocket, drinks his beer, and is served another.

11. When play passes to the Kavanaugh, he also drinks his beer and is served another.

12. The Public is not allowed to touch his or her beer under any circumstances.

13. Play proceeds in this fashion until the Public runs out of money.

14. The Kavanaugh is summarily awarded a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

15. The Dealer throws a single quarter into the Public’s red solo cup filled with Natural Light and instructs him or her to “Slurp it up, poor-o!”

16. The Public fishes the quarter out of the cup of warm beer, goes to the nearest pay phone, randomly dials a local number, and fruitlessly attempts to find anyone else on the planet who is dumb enough to believe that “Devil’s Triangle” is a drinking game, in hopes of beginning another game as the Dealer.

17. The Kavanaugh overturns Roe v. Wade.

Maybe there are other rules for playing The Devil’s Triangle that don’t end in utter disaster for the nation. Maybe Brett Kavanaugh will share them with us. But until he does, the healthiest response to being asked to keep a straight face for this *** is an obliteratingly stiff drink. Anything but beer.

It's funny that number 16 states that you have to be dumb to think that the Devil's Triangle could be used as a name for a drinking game, and then immediately follows up in 17 by repeating one of the dumbest narratives that has been bandied about lately.

Haha and the Democrats trying to move the goal posts ... again. First they demanded a FBI investigation in the sexual assault allegations made by Ford, this was ordered by the President to happen. Now they are pissed because they are getting exactly what they asked for and not the secret Democrat lead endeavor they wanted. This just gave the political cover needed for moderate Republicans and a few vulnerable Democrats to vote yes to Kavanaugh later this week / weekend.

So next week we'll have another Supreme Court Judge.

The only update is the WH is picking and choosing who the FBI can and cant interview. Saevel still has no idea what the swing votes will do nor how they will react to an incomplete investigation.
