Flake: FBI must do a 'real investigation' of Kavanaugh
NBC "News" ^ | October 1, 2018 | by Ali Vitali

BOSTON - Sen. Jeff Flake said Monday he was working with the White House counsel's office to ensure that the FBI is able to do a "real investigation" into allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"We certainly want the FBI to do a real investigation and we are working to make sure that happens. I've had discussions, many yesterday, with my colleagues, with the White House counsel's office, my staff is following up as well. I had one of those conversations just five minutes ago to make sure that the - that any current credible allegation that has been made has been fully investigated," he said at the Forbes' Under 30 Summit.

"It does no good to have an investigation that just gives us more cover for example. We actually need to find out what we can find out," he continued, adding that "we have to realize that we may not be able to find out everything."

Over the weekend, Flake was called a "hero" at the MSNBC Global Citizen Festival when he came out on stage with friend and Democratic colleague, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware. But here in Boston, protesters gathered outside the Forbes Under 30 Summit where Flake was speaking to decry Kavanaugh's nomination and the allegations against him.

It's the classic "it's what I asked for, but not what I wanted."

I guess he feels real investigations are done by public appearance on liberal “news” shows.

He might as well just change parties and be done with the posturing.

Yes, his deceit is now well-recognized, and he fools only the fools.

Confidential to Mister Flake.

Arlen Specter is not well-remembered by anyone (in either party). You might think about this.

I believe Flake will be a no vote and Collins and Murkowski will join him. Wondering if any of the dems flip? The November election becomes all the more important.

Flake is a guaranteed No vote, no matter what.

Flake is planning something for 2020 - his platform will definitely be anti-Trump and some sort of “coalition” with Democrats.

He will fail miserably, of course.

All 3 will vote yes. The two women still want a political career.

Yup. I called that from the beginning. This extra week wasn’t to give cover for Flake and the other fence sitters to vote Yes, it was to give cover to vote No.

Added bonus to drag this out further embarrassing Trump’s nominee and party.

What a crock of reporting. On the video of the event, when Flake comes on stage, you can hear numerous audience members shouting “F&^% you!”.

Flake is a self aggrandizing imbecile who LOVES the spotlight. It’s sicking, destructive, repulsive and insulting as anything to Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh has undergone SIX FBI background checks. Sen. Flake, I wonder what just ONE full background check into your life would uncover.

A REAL investigation..in comparison to what? Is he saying this investigation is phony? What else should they investigate, Kavanaugh’s connection to the Lindberg baby abduction..how about Etan Patz’s disappearance, the Brown/Goldman murders, etc etc etc..Boy this Flake is living up to his name..biggest DOUCHE BAG on the planet..this had NOTHING to do with his encounter with those two George Soros women in the elevator, I think everyone knows that was a Flake set up to how he ended up voting..he was NEVER a YES vote

I believe only a couple of states did not already have popular election of senators when the 17th was introduced.

Note the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates with the candidates playing to the crowd.

Pressure needs to be put on the RED State Democrats up for reelection in November.
