Which Democrat(s) do we thank for the FBI investigation?

Yeah, I know. Flake. Collins. Murkowski.

Not one of them, on their own, would have made this call. They were/he was pushed.

Who pushed them/him?

For a political Senate caucus totally shut out of control or power, the Democrats have incrementally MANUFACTURED a modicum control for themselves.

I think they're doing great.

No credit and all the blame is a paradigm that is applied to our Party much too often.

I wish folks would...

Quit blaming Dems for GOP sins

while we sat helpless. They may still get Kavanough on, but they'll have paid a very big price for it. At this point that's believed to be the less damaging of two very bad choices for them, but nevertheless with promise of continued scandal up to and after the midterms.

dismayed at what was happening. MSNBC ran a clip of him getting up, tapping Coons and gesturing to Coons to come with him. Flake was quoted as saying he tossed and turned all night, I guess he was wrestling with his conscience and what he did today was the result.
