You have been doing a great job of finding information,hm.
I know what you are feeling.
I want to expand on something you touched upon last night.
Maybe Flake is not a villain in all this.
As you know, our Twitter friend Thomas Wictor and others were suspended from Twitter last night. (Suspension meaning gone for good—no longer allowed to tweet).
He had previously raised the topic of “Judas Goats” serving Donald Trump, and leading the Dems astray.
A Judas Goat is one who leads other animals to slaughter. At the last minute the Judas Goat is trained to go down one chute, and other animals are shunted down another to the slaughter. Then the Judas Goat returns and does the same thing to another flock.
I cannot stand Jeff Flake. I have long thought him bought and paid for, and under blackmail.
Now that Senator NoName is dead and buried (or is his funeral still going on?) we have seen Lindsay Graham with his strings cut and he is a different man. No question he was a hero this week for the cause.
What if the same is now true of Flake? What if his strings have been cut?
What if he is being used as the Judas Goat here?
How?
He is the one who went to the Dems and offered to present the option for the one week FBI investigation.
The Dems latched onto him gleefully.
But I noticed something else.
At yesterday’s hearing, not one Republican seemed upset with the turn of events.
Not Grassley, not Graham, not Cruz, not Kennedy, not Hatch.
They did not even protest.
Meanwhile, people like you and me are screaming at the TV about it!
So, it happened.
Then Grassley announced the 2 hour rule and Feinstein had to shut up. End of meeting. Adjourned.
Now the Dems got what they wanted.
Or did they?
I think they will rue the day they asked for this, because now, in order to complete the file on Kavanaugh , the FBI has to update the file on the only “credible” allegation against him—that of Ford’s.
Ford will be investigated and reported on, and evidence may come out that does a lot of damage to her, her lawyers and the Dems, including Feinstein.
The FBI did not investigate her before—she was not part of the investigation.
Now, she is.
And who led the Dems down this path?
Flake.
And who else is being led down the path here? Murkowski and Collins—this is what they wanted too, and now they will get it, and their excuse for not voting for Kavanaugh will evaporate.
Judas Goat Flake operated on two levels here—corral the Dems and the other two wayward Republicans.
Kavanaugh can be confirmed with ONLY the GOP votes—51.
The Dems will be shut out of the process entirely if every GOP Senator votes for Kavanaugh. Because of political considerations, one or two Dems might vote for Kavanaugh—that is just icing on the cake.
So Judas Goat Flake may be the hero of the day. He may have played that role to get out of another stickier situation.
Trump knows what he is doing. He is constantly underestimated by the Dems and the media. But he did not amass a real estate empire in the toughest market in the world, NYC, because he was stupid.
Trust Trump.
Trust the Plan.
Thank you, very plausible and gives us hope.
Agreed. The only thing that I think differently is the Cow and Collins are in a supporting role. The RATs were encouraged by each playing their part. It takes three Rs saying no and rats know that. So do the GOP. Two can play
I also think the FBI has already been at work. I’m sure when her name was made public it triggered at least a look see Also believe that the old briar patch scenerio may be in play. A public trigger had to start a public investigation. Job complete. Enjoy the show.
Do you know anyone who has had an FIB investigation. They are quite intense and invasive. Her counselor will be interviewed. No secrets may be kept from the agents. A list of diagnosis, medication and behavior pattern (lying) will be noted. The beach friends will have a knock on the door. No one will know who gave their names to FBI. (Even childhood/high school friends will be interviewed If their is any truth to the alcoholism and 64 partners it will come out. )
That is a fascinating option. However it would not have been needed if flake and the Rhino girls were going to vote Yes. So this was all to convince workowski and Collins? Okay I’m dictating and I’m not fixing it, sorry.
I was also surprised that Lindsey Graham seemed to take it in stride. And Trump statement as well. So you could be onto something here. Trump saying that he trusted the Senate after that I found rather shocking.
Thank you for posting that.
