Senate Republicans unload on Flake
Politico ^ | November 29, 2018 | Borgess Everett and Elana Schor

Posted on 11/30/2018 7:37:34 AM PST by C19fan

Jeff Flake is finally taking a stand on the need to protect Robert Mueller — and it’s infuriating his fellow Republicans.

The retiring Arizona senator is undermining the Senate GOP’s efforts to approve as many lifetime-appointed federal judges as possible in the lame duck. His vow to oppose all judges until he gets a vote shielding the special counsel from presidential interference has already frozen 21 judicial picks in committee and on Thursday helped derail a nominee on the Senate floor.

That he’s homosexual wouldn’t be the problem. Proclivities beyond that might be.

Flake has been a useful idiot for the Dems. I don’t think they will allow someone like him to join any of their tickets. Flake is too flaky, even for them.

Flake is such an embarassment as a Senator from Arizona.

It is horrible that he is trying to help Mueller obstruct President Trump and perform a Deep State Coup.

Mueller is an embarrassment to the Republic, the rule of law, and due process.

Mueller, in a just USA, would be in jail already.

But the Supreme Court has given prosecutors way too much immunity, and the Deep State connived to put Mueller in this insane "special prosecutor" position with *no* accountability, as long as his buddy Rosenstein was in charge.

McConnell should change the rules that only 49 senators and the vice president are needed to confirm judges.

Flake is a small, petty, vindictive man. I hope he will receive what he deserves in this life - soon.

Trump has the veto as long as there aren’t 67 senator willing to override him.

“Jeff Flake is finally taking a stand on the need to protect Robert Mueller — and it’s infuriating his fellow Republicans.”

Wouldn’t read a word after this opening sentence.

What’s funny is that Trump time and time again has said he isn’t going to fire Mueller.

I can’t see anybody, even a Democrat, picking Flake for a Veep slot. He brings NOTHING to a ticket. He wouldn’t even help them flip Arizona, whereas the bisexual Jack Moron lady just elected might.

“At least the Arizona Twins are completely gone though. What a relief.”

Wait til you see the new one the cheaters just installed. She’s a one hundred percent commie. We voted for their dumbass Rino to no avail.

If that’s “unloading,” I would hate to see them really get mad. Maybe they could hold their breaths.

The Senate will follow suit and investigate Trump just as they did for collusion. They will pick up on whatever the house does.

ROFL!

Dear GOP,

This is why no one likes RINOs.

fellow Republicans

That statement alone disqualifies this as being a factual article. Flake has never be a republican. What his is is anyone's guess but a republican or conservative is most definitely is not.

I think he's a psychotic sociopath.

The only relief the Rs can get from Flake is if McTurtle threatens his future lobbying career.
