Flake: FBI must do a 'real investigation' of Kavanaugh
NBC "News" ^ | October 1, 2018 | by Ali Vitali

BOSTON - Sen. Jeff Flake said Monday he was working with the White House counsel's office to ensure that the FBI is able to do a "real investigation" into allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

"We certainly want the FBI to do a real investigation and we are working to make sure that happens. I've had discussions, many yesterday, with my colleagues, with the White House counsel's office, my staff is following up as well. I had one of those conversations just five minutes ago to make sure that the - that any current credible allegation that has been made has been fully investigated," he said at the Forbes' Under 30 Summit.

"It does no good to have an investigation that just gives us more cover for example. We actually need to find out what we can find out," he continued, adding that "we have to realize that we may not be able to find out everything."

Over the weekend, Flake was called a "hero" at the MSNBC Global Citizen Festival when he came out on stage with friend and Democratic colleague, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware. But here in Boston, protesters gathered outside the Forbes Under 30 Summit where Flake was speaking to decry Kavanaugh's nomination and the allegations against him.

Was just looking at twitter. One credible source, Jackwick@gingrich pa seems to believe Flake is getting loud for show. And it’s just for show. Don’t know how to register this. At this point in time I have NO confidence at all in Senate GOP.

His son was managing a dog kennel when the AC went out in the kennel, killing the dogs, then lied to their owners that the dogs ran away.

it’s the 7th ‘real’ investigation. But what does Flake want investigated as he is on his way out the door, a quitter and a coward? That BK was #1 in his class at Yale pretty much proves there was no excessive drinking problems. But BK’s teenage drinking was never an issue before CBF’s little fairy tale and it shouldn’t be now.

Maybe Flake should investigate CPL for making up fake and lurid facebook definitions. Maybe he should investigate why Feinstein referred Ford to McCabe’s attorneys. Or who leaked Ford’s letter. Or who doxed McConnel, etal. So many topics to ask to be investigated. But I guess that’s not as important as how many beers a 19yo BK had on a Friday nite. OTOH, what does Flake have in his background that he is projecting? Enquiring minds want to know.

From what I understand, saying he is loathed by his constituents is an understatement. By the way, I admire your optimism re judge K. I just don’t see how he makes it past Collins and Murkowski.

How about a detailed investigation into Flake going back to first grade? Then how about an intensive investigation into Ford, DiFi, Sparactus, Harris, Lee, Schumer, Pelosi, Madd Maxine, et al.?

“As fate would have it, Republican Sen. Jeff Flake’s son, Austin, was minding the kennel, when the [20] dogs died.”

Sheriff Arpaio:

“It seems unreasonable that dogs could be healthy at 11 p.m. at night and dead by 5:30 a.m. the next morning as the owners suggest”

https://www.cnn.com/2014/06/24/us/arizona-dog-heat-deaths/index.html

“In June of last year, another son, Tanner Flake, reportedly published racial epithets, homophobic slurs and anti-Semitic remarks on Twitter and used them as user names in online games.”

I suspect Senator Flake doesn’t care much for history, but I’m fond of it.

current credible allegation

Where is ONE? There must be one credible allegation, right? Edsel Ford's? That's not credible. Silly Demons.

"Flake’s son was involved in a dog fighting scandal in Arizona where over 20 dogs were found DEAD..I say investigate the whole damn Flake family"

Is that the case where they were supposed to be taking care of the dogs, and at some point the air conditioning system died, and nobody discovered the dogs until they had all died? Or is this a different case?

The FBI still hasn't figured out what happened in Vegas a year ago and we're supposed to expect then to figure out something that happened 36 years ago...in a week?

Flake is working for the Rats here.What he's hinting at is a two year long investigation before a vote.

Apparently he wasn’t listening to a word of the hearing. Even if there were no witnesses at all, CBF clearly contradicted her own testimony. Mitchell was specific enough to cite the exact interviews with various media outlets that proved she contradicted her own testimony. CBF was proven a liar in terms so simple even a Flake could understand them. Nothing left to investigate other than those providing false information to the US Senate. And those conspiring against a sitting federal judge.

Actually, I just googled this the other day. Flake’s son Austin and his wife at the time were staying at her parents house while they went on vacation to Florida. The in-laws ran a doggie daycare in their home, with over 20 dogs staying there at the time. Overnight, they kept all those dogs together in a 9 x 12’ room with only 1 vent. The AC failed overnight and several of the dogs were dead by morning, with all but 2 surviving by the end of the day. One of those 2 died at the vet’s office and the other ran away and got hit by a car. The in-laws were notified and starting lying to the dog owners about how they died, but eventually they plead guilty to 1 felony each. Austin and his wife got off scot-free AFAIK, even tho it happened under their watch. 🤬

Mitch needs to forget Flake and focus negotiations on Collins and Murkowski. There’s something they want in exchange for their votes. Get it on the table and bargain.

Dinking around with Flake is useless.
