Flake’s farewell swan song may just have tanked Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation
The National Sentinel ^ | 9/29/18 | USA Features

Posted on 09/29/2018 8:34:15 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

Torpedo: Last year retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, published a book, “Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle,” in which he purported to support POTUS Donald Trump because he wanted him to succeed.

Within months, however, there was Flake the “conservative,” writing in far-Left Politico that the GOP was “in denial about Donald Trump,” a piece which disparaged the president and left the impression with readers, in no uncertain terms, that the Arizona Republican (like his counterpart the late Sen. John McCain) would not be counted among POTUS’ allies in the Senate.

“We created him, and now we’re rationalizing him. When will it stop?” he wrote.

“Flake might as well move to California.”

He probably won’t. I expect that his reward for betrayal was a cushy, high-paid lobbying job in DC.

Flakes, flakes!
Flakes, flakes!
They don’t do no good
They never be workin’ when they oughta should
They waste your time
They’re wastin’ mine
California’s got the most of them
Boy, they got a host of them

-Frank Zappa “Flakes”

You are correct. The Dem narrative was "we need an FBI investigation". The FBI investigation is dead end so without any new evidence, he gets the votes.

I do think that the Dems may have opened up a Pandora's box. Cory Booker theoretically is now open to an FBI investigation of his 'groping' incident. DiFi should now be open to an FBI investigation of why she kept a Chinese spy under her employment.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Flake is the most appropriately name senator in the history of the republic.

That’s well documented.

Also, his book was actually ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Junior. That makes the warnings in it even more dire and poignant.

Flake has been the most hated man in Arizona for a long time now. He’s only a one term senator, didn’t run for a second term, he knows how much he’s hated. He was too cowardly to run again.

Now he is also the most hated man in America.

Grassley just doesn't get it that the communists Democrats are already to create witnesses by paying them all for the next meeting. They will insist the new fake jackasses included in the FBI report and the FBI will do it. No one has forgot that the FBI is corrupt and with the communists Democrats.

He probably won’t.

He must know he'd be treated like a celebrity and hero if he did. It might be his only choice if he plans on staying in politics.

The FBI investigation has ALREADY leaked that they have exceeded the scope mandate they were given. Why did they exceed the mandate and start interviewing women in matters NOT related to Ford’s accusation? One for the obvious reason but the second reason IMHO is to signal to Mark Judge that whatever he tells the FBI it will be 1) leaked and 2) exceed the scope of Ford’s accusations. Look for Mark Judge to change his mind and the Rats will use that as a reason to “need more than a week” because the want to leak whatever Mark Judge says that will be unflattering or get him to plead the 5th which will be leaked.

They can’t fix your brakes
You ask them, “Where’s my motor?”
“Well, it was eaten by snakes!”
You can stab and shoot and spit, but they won’t be fixin’ it
They’re lyin’ and lazy, they can be drivin’ you crazy …
My favorite part of that song is still Adrian Belew’s imitation of Bob Dylan (at 1:22).

Yes let's be clear. Kavanaugh was more the NeverTrumper Bush-league choice

Perhaps now he sees the light.

"GWB has been calling the weak-kneed senators as well."

"And failed, as usual."

You stole the words right out of my mouth...

We have enough problems as it is here in once-glorious CA!

Don't compound them - AZ needs to clean up their own trash!

Flake makes me sick. What a cowardly POS. So much for him being the man of principle that he claims to be. If he had any principles at all, he would be outraged at what Senate Democrats and their media allies have done to this good man. A better man than Jeff Flake for sure. That’s what makes me so sick.
