because of McConnell's razor-thin majority. So Flake might get his investigation... If WH agrees, of course.

I’m so pissed I could punch a hole in the wall.

1. Kave-Man-ugh just moved to a floor vote next week.
2. They will ask Mitchy the shitsy to do the FBI investigation.. you know.. the very thing Mitchy already said he won’t do. The made this beautiful show of “bipartisanship” that was a performance Shakespeare would envy... Well him or Goebbels would likewise be envious in the sleasy ass maneuver they just did.

with similar 'conccerns'.

Flake is the voice on Judiciary for 'concerns'.

because Flake is holding tough on wanting an FBI investigation. if McConnell tries to push ahead anyway, he might not have enough votes.

That ratbastard Graham is joking that someone has to explain this to Trump and he guesses that's him. Haha.

I wonder if someone at the FBI has already been quietly gathering some public information and scribbling planning notes in case they're called in. Someone mentioned their taking a look at the calendar, so that's obviously being discussed. Those who want Kavanaugh on might be having a problem.

Kavanaugh's shit hits the fan. tRump needs one foot out the door now so that later he can claim he, of course, let the process play out and that he was fine with the result. He'll never admit to a loss, and will spin the tale to come out as a winner in this defeat.

by actually asking the FBI, but he could still dissociate or claim it for his own.
