FBI Brett Kavanaugh investigation a fraud. Jeff Flake stunt just that!

[egbertowillies]

Jeff Flake looked like a hero to Progressives and moral Republicans on Friday when he stopped the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation train for one week. We should remember that ultimately Flake still voted Kavanaugh out of the Judiciary Committee for an FBI investigation he had no control over nor one where he demanded a minimum scope. Read on to understand the fraud.

1. Flake is not a hero

He'd have been a hero if he voted no. He didn't.

2. Yes, it's a fraud and a stunt, but it gave dems a week, and in politics that's a lifetime.

All flake did was vote kav out of committee...one step closer to the seat

If flake wanted to really make an impact he would have voted NO to getting out of committee, and saying that they needed to do the investigation before voting to get out of committee.

flake is positioning himself for a POTUS run is all he's doing. He'll vote to confirm kav no doubt.

Possibly FBI will find some thing big in one week, but doubtful.

8. For the week to mean anything the leadership needs to lead...

Where are they?

3. I doubt that

FBI is going to do their thing.

4. It's all a show/ruse to white-wash asshole Kav.

5. I think Graham, et al. pulled this out of their butts as a ruse to minimize the attrocious optics

it gives them a whole week to spin things...that's the only thing the GOP knows how to do...with the media's assistance I expect they will succeed. They normalize the GOP's attrocities 24/7.

6. Flake is running for President

He is trying to court the "sane" Republican (if that isn't an oxymoron) vote. He's still a right wing nutcase.

He's trying to play a longer game.

10. He won't get 10% in a primary against Trump

They want strength and ruthlessness. Refusing to look at a woman in an elevator and then changing your mind based on her words is hardly strength in GOP circles. It is laughingstock material.

7. Yeah, I called it yesterday afternoon and was roundly shouted down.

By some of the usual bots... I mean contrarian voices here at DU.

9. Drumph (and his puppeteers)...

apparently get to put whatever "limits" they want on this "investigation" so
it definitely will not be a true and unbiased look into the allegations...just for show...imo
