some of the 4,500 tips could be fake, but the FBI just routed them to the white house instead of investigating them. I wouldnt really blame the FBI, since they were following orders,, but there should have been whistleblowers.
There remains alot of those tips which merit further investigation, since lifetime appointments to supreme court have critical implications for the country. Its the type of thing which requires proper vetting, which appears to not have been done, and director Wray might share in some responsibility for that.
Consider if BIden made an appointment to supreme court that wasnt properly vetted, the shoe on the other foot.
