I think this delay will only open the door for more crazies to come through. If I am wrong, and forget to give you two thumbs-up for your prescience, remind me in a week. I'll gladly humble myself before you over this.
Pols know that history is being written real-time. The historical passage that would say “the Republicans disallowed an additional FBI inquiry into the allegations” is a disastrous record.
To compensate for the historical record, the Republicans call for and POTUS authorizes a one-week FBI check into the current allegations. The history notes the Republicans arranged for the FBI to probe the current credible allegations only. The historical note will end by saying the FBI found no evidence to corroborate the allegations. End of story.
Are you, by chance, a historian? Democrats don't give two shits about the historical record. It's all about "the fight" and power, today!
And they don't have to care about the historical record. They control the media and the universities -- the media memorializes today's history; the universities propagate it.
You give too much credence to the Dems wanting to be recalled historically as great statesmen. Or something. I'm not sure what you're suggesting.
They could not care less.
I agree with you, I think his point is that the Republicans do care. Unfortunately it won’t matter in the short term, as soon as he’s voted in the left has the riot machine all geared up and ready to go.

They can come through but there won’t be any Republican Senators there to listen to them because they will on the floor voting.
Listen to how fast the vote went today:

These Members are done with allegations, it’s time to vote. The 1-week FBI check on CURRENT CREDIBLE allegations is for cover only so that a floor vote can proceed.
Any new crazies want to get their 15 minutes can find a Member willing to run with it into the Midterms. But the floor vote will proceed regardless.
Exactly and I point to Judge Thomas and the FBI. Years later they believe Anita Hill and let’s not forget about Biden screaming FBI does not come to conclusions.
