Flake Has an Out if He Wants
Now that the FBI has released the results of the investigation that talked to only the people that Grassley and Trump pre-approved and not to Dr. Ford and dozens of others who have come forward in the last week and tried to contact the FBI, it comes down to Jeff Flake and what he wants to do. There is, however, a procedural vote coming up tomorrow that would give Flake (and Collins and Murkowski) an out without having to vote against Kavanaugh directly. McConnell has moved for cloture, which will cut off debate and lead to a final vote, probably on Saturday. But he needs 50 votes (plus Pence) for cloture. If Flake and the others want, they can voice their displeasure with the way the investigation was conducted and the treatment of Dr. Ford and insist that the FBI do a further dig. If not, then "debate" continues and there's no vote on the nomination until Trump either pulls it or a new Senate convenes in January.
Guessing what Flake will do is tricky. Unlike the other Senators involved (including Joe Manchin), he doesn't have to worry about facing the voters in a month or two years, but he may see himself as an anti-Trump presidential candidate in 2020.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
There is nothing that can be done, short of shooting Judge Kavanaugh, that will satisfy democrats and trump haters. Even that will not suffice, since they will want others to be shot.silverscreenselect wrote:Now that the FBI has released the results of the investigation that talked to only the people that Grassley and Trump pre-approved and not to Dr. Ford and dozens of others who have come forward in the last week and tried to contact the FBI, it comes down to Jeff Flake and what he wants to do.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
Well, among the people the FBI didn't talk to are Kavanaugh, Dr. Ford, and the numerous witnesses mentioned by Ramirez and Dr. Ford. Nor did they request and review Dr. Ford's therapy notes.Bob78164 wrote: Whom did the FBI talk to? How did they select whom to interview? What leads did they follow?

This is the appearance of an investigation to give Jeff Flake and Susan Collins something to feel good about.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
Heidi Heitkamp is a NO on Kavanaugh, leaving only Joe Manchin officially undecided among Democrats. Heitkamp is the most endangered Democratic incumbent, with a couple of recent polls showing her ten points down. Manchin has been consistently ahead in recent polls.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
I've got a lot of non-political crap going on in my life right now so haven't completely kept up with things, but doesn't the Judiciary Committee have to vote to pass things on to the whole Senate first? If Flake and the Democrats vote no, doesn't that stop it?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
They already did. Flake put in a non-binding provision that he would vote NO on the floor unless there was an investigation that was limited in scope that would last no longer than a week, which was agreed to by the other dems on the Committee led by Combs and was verified by Feinstein.Bob Juch wrote:I've got a lot of non-political crap going on in my life right now so haven't completely kept up with things, but doesn't the Judiciary Committee have to vote to pass things on to the whole Senate first?

As I predicted, and no one else would wager against it, from that point on the democrats broke their agreement, and every democrat had a complaint about everything. aSSShole and bob-tel have gotten their batphone calls and deluged the bored this morning.

Limited in scope is one thing. Not talking to Kavanaugh, Dr. Ford or any on the witnesses named by Ford or Ramirez is another.

Bob and I aren't the only ones who think this way. So do over 1700 law professors, many of whom initially supported Kavanaugh.

Re: Flake Has an Out if He Wants
Since the FBI has access to I -don't-know-how-many hours of testimony from both Kavanaugh and Ford, why would they need to re-interview the two of them? They also had statements from those Ford originally named as 'witnesses' including a long time close friend, all of whom have gone on record vis a vis the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault. Again, why re-interview? The conclusion isn't what you wanted, ergo, the investigation is flawed.

Gee, I don't know, maybe because they are trained interrogators who know how to follow up on lines of questioning and get around evasive non-answers.
