But Now A Video of Joe Biden Surfaces from Clarence Thomas Hearings — He Thought FBI Reports Were Useless
Old Joe is quite adamant about FBI reports they “do not reach conclusions.”
“FBI explicitly does not, in this or any other case (Hill/Thomas), reach a conclusion. Period.”
-----------------------
A video resurfaced of Sen. Joe Biden (D-D.E.) speaking during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991, repeatedly saying that FBI reports “do not reach conclusions.”
This comes amid the current Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh being accused of sexual misconduct from decades ago and Democrats pushing to delay the confirmation vote while calling for FBI investigations.
“The next person that refers to an FBI report as being worth anything obviously doesn’t understand anything,” Biden said. “FBI explicitly does not, in this or any other case, reach a conclusion. Period.”
“I said from the beginning, this is about whether or not sexual harassment occurred. And lastly, Judge, with me, from the beginning and at this moment, until the end, the presumption is with you. Now we are going to hear more witnesses. They are going to come in and corroborate your position and hers. And we will find out whether they are telling the truth or not, as best as we are capable of doing, just like you as a judge are when you look them in the eye and make a judgment.”
He continued later in his speech:
"And the last thing I will point out, the next person who refers to an FBI report as being worth anything, obviously doesn't understand anything. FBI explicitly does not, in this or any other case reach a conclusion, period, period.
So, Judge, there is no reason why you should know this. The reason why we cannot rely on the FBI report, you would not like it if we did because it is inconclusive. They say he said, she said, and they said, period. So when people wave an FBI report before you, understand they do not, they do not reach conclusions. They do not make, as my friend points out more accurately, they do not make recommendations."

The former vice president recently contradicted those statements when he said that the FBI should investigate the allegations made against Kavanaugh. So you see its all political. Including Feinstein sitting on Ford's letter since July choosing release the allegations just days before the key Judiciary Committee vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.
