He’s trying to do it “for the good of the country” to delay. But he’s prepared to vote no if he doesn’t get his way.
Done deal!
Adjourned.
There is no cave. Mitch can set the vote. If Manchin is a yes Flake’s vote is entirely unnecessary.
They approved him in Cmte but asked (cannot require) a FBI investigation into this matter before full Senate vote. Provides political cover for these politicians. Up to full Senate and Exec Branch controls if FBI investigation occurs (like 6 FBI checks are not enough) This is why we hate politicians and why there is Trump.
