I feel relieved that @JeffFlake seems to have heard my and @AnaMariaArchil2’s voices in the Senate elevator today. We absolutely need an FBI investigation and for him and all Senators to vote NO. #StopKavanaugh

I started crying. Flake gave them respect by listening. He looked surprised as well as the other two young ladies that were with him.

I believe that moment in time caused him to reconsider at least about the FBI investigation.

... and way into the opposite corner and left Flake alone to address the angry ladies by himself.

That isolation from his aides may have been another signal to him that the ladies were not very happy about the course events where taking to let Kava-Nope sail through unimpeded without an FBI investigation.
