The problem is Flake is too stupid to know that the Rats are not remotely interested in truth. They are only interested in stopping this confirmation.
He knows and he doesn’t give a damn. Flake is selling himself to the highest bidder on K street.
He will become a lobbyist, join a ‘thunk tank’ or publish a flakey book which he may have already been offered a million dollar advancement.
It could go either way. Kav is a side issue. What’s it take to buy Jeff is today’s question.
