Sen. Jeff Flake just said he would vote to move Judge Brett Kavanaugh out of the Judiciary Committee and to the floor of the Senate as long as the main vote would be delayed by up to one week to allow for an FBI investigation.

There should be no FBI investigation. It would set a terrible precedent regarding the misuse of federal powers and the presumption of innocence owed to any person. In this case it would also make a mockery of why we have statutes of limitations for certain offenses.
The Democrats believe strongly in weaponizing federal agencies to advance their ideologies. They should be careful. Such a philosophy will turn around and bite them in the ass.
Flake sounded like a guy who had been threatened.
What matters is that the nomination goes to the full Senate. Flakes treachery binds nobody, much less the full Senate.
Hey Hugh Hewitt....how do you like your GOOD FRIEND COONS NOW???
Grassley called his bluff. McConnell needs to caucus and if he has the numbers carry out the vote on the floor. The FBI investigation will only allow the democrats more time to drag out four hundred more lying women and the FBI investigation will not change one vote on the Democrat side.
Flake is a pu$$ies pu$$y and not anything close to a conservative or a Republican. He is in all respects as nasty a piece of work as his butt buddy taking the dirt nap McInsane.
I love how the FBI missed the leader of a GR crew but knows exactly how Russia tilted 2016 to Trump
And if I’m not mistaken the FBI has come out and stated that they are not going to investigate the allegation, 3 times.
Flake is sub-human garbage, just like Democrats.
Why would the FBI start an investigation into something that the Montgomery County PD felt there wasn’t enough evidence to investigate?
From what I’ve read, Flake was moved by Chris Coons’ crying.
And did anyone else see his weepy face when he finally returned?
It’s clear this is a man that can be swayed emotionally.
This whole report sounds weird to me..
Flake just voted to recommend approval of the judge...
but he’s going to vote him down on the floor vote? I don’t think so...
Sounds like the Dems trying to bribe another delay... But at this point what for? They know they aren’t stopping the confirmation, so it must be they don’t want him on the court for the start of Term... which means this is about a case or case that is on the early docket this term...
Because if Kavanaugh isn’t seated when the term starts he won’t vote on the cases heard before he is seated...
So... WHAT IS ON THE COURTS DOCKET THIS TERM???
Flake is turning red. What a fool. Made a deal with the dems. For what? All the dems voted NO. Great deal Flake!
McConnell will know if he has the votes minus Flake.
McConnell has some red state Democrats he can count.
I think Judge K becomes Justice K.
This PUSSY demanded to her Ford before he would vote, now he is pulling this shit...ARG!
Voted out of committee and no other agreements have been voted on. Up to leadership now on what happens next. Grassley very wisely shut it down.
Flake is a jerk. This was just his way of taking both sides. Typical sleazy politician.
What happens when FBI says, we have all the info there is to get. Case rejected??
Done deal!
Adjourned.
They can only ignore Flake if every other Republican, including Murkowski and Collins are a yea. Or we need to add a Dem vote.
