Late-Night Hosts Slam the FBI's Kavanaugh Probe: Investigated with a 'No-Tooth Comb'

Late-night hosts slammed the FBI’s handling of a probe into allegations against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, describing the investigation as being handled with a “no-toothed comb.”

On Thursday, it emerged that the FBI background check into Kavanaugh’s teenage years found “no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct” against the judge, much to the dismay of left-wing activists attempting to torpedo his nomination.

On Late Night, Seth Meyers complained that the FBI had made no real effort to corroborate the allegations against him.

“They didn’t even interview Kavanaugh or Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, they really went over this thing with a no-toothed comb,” Meyers said. “And when they were investigating the other allegations against Kavanaugh they made it clear that they had no intention of talking to people who actually might have more information.”

Over on Late Show, Stephen Colbert also mocked an apparent lack of effort from the FBI.

“Republicans seem satisfied,” he said. “Maine’s Susan Collins says, ‘It appears to be a very thorough investigation.’ No, it doesn’t, Susan! They interviewed nine people over five days. I’ve had more thorough investigations to find my AirPods!”

The increasingly political Jimmy Fallon also bemoaned the number of people interviewed during the investigation.

“A lot of people were surprised the FBI took less than a week to conduct their investigation,” he quipped. “I’m not saying the FBI investigation was short but Trump lasted longer with Stormy Daniels.”

“It’s crazy, this is for a seat on the Supreme Court,” he added. “You talk to more than nine people when you order a burrito at Chipotle.”

Meanwhile, Daily Show host Trevor Noah seemed despondent at the increasing likelihood that Kavanaugh’s nomination will be confirmed.

“I’m an optimist, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much anybody can do besides wait and see,” he said. “We may as well go out and get drunk, like Brett Kavanaugh, and try to forget that this ever happened, like Brett Kavanaugh.”
