So unless his vote is absolutely required it doesn’t matter if there is an investigation or not. Flake gave cover to the to women. They took the FBI story to cover their yes votes. Now Flake can declare, after a few days, the investigation complete and vote YES.

I'm annoyed by Flake's duplicitousness, but actually, if a quick FBI investigation is what's needed to win over Collins and Murk, then, fine. We don't yet have the votes without them.

It's now in McConnell's hands... yes, we (often rightfully) trash him on FR, but this is his wheelhouse. Let's let him go to work on it.

This wouldn’t be happening if McC had not turned on Judge Moore.
