Sen. Lisa Murkwoski (R-AK) told reporters Friday that she agrees with fellow moderate Republican Sen. Jeff Flake (AZ) in his call for an FBI investigation that would delay the Senate floor vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for up to one week.
Murkowski believes there should be an investigation that is “limited in time and scope.”
Murkowski to @ckmarie:
“do you support Senator Flake’s call for a delay and an FBI investigation?”
Murkowski: "yes I do. It has to be limited in time and scope.”— Phil Mattingly (@Phil_Mattingly) September 28, 2018
During the Senate Judiciary Committee vote to move Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate, Sen. Flake insisted that he did not think they should have a full vote on Kavanaugh until there has been a week-long FBI investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh.
The committee did vote 11-10 to confirm Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
As a moderate Republican, Sen. Murkowski was a key vote in the confirmation process.
Kavanaugh's confirmation will be determined by her and other key moderate senators such as Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jeff Flake.
Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford both gave emotional testimonies Thursday on allegations that he groped her and pinned her down while he was drunk at a party in high school.
Kavanaugh fully denies her allegations and the witnesses she initially claimed were present have denied that such an event occurred.
We would have been much better off with Kavanaugh rammed through now and risk sacrifice of much of the rest of the Repub Senate than giving the leftist scum bag tyrants, commies who run the media and own the internet free reign. They are the true swamp. The finger should be pointed at them as liberal privileged ones.
Half the GOP are open border swamp globalist corporatists not conservatives. Flake was never conservative.
Murkowski stole the last election, bought the native vote with tax money, now the PFD is crap. she is corrupt to the core just like her daddy.
The Murkowskis are and were a blight on Alaska.
“Agree..but the dems are the assholes demanding an FBI investigation. When it comes back clean, they will stay, “So”....”No”...”
And our side can use that to hammer to pound them hard in the midterms. The dems are going to take a hit over this.
Kavanaugh/Senate thing is a farce: Farting ... barfing ... what will Dems question next? Judge, are you a serial train “gang rapist?” Please.
I don’t have the “gumption” to fly, though I often fly to various locales around the world. Locked myself inside 2nd-floor bathroom, though I know they were “ping-ponging” off the walls as they went down the stairs. What else is being exaggerated or misremembered?
She’s “100%” certain it was K who sexually assaulted her. But the four people she claims were at the “house” (including her close life-long girlfriend) all deny being there. She doesn’t know where or when it happened, how she got there, nor how she departed. 36 years ago, no contemporaneous corroboration.
Either Judge K or Dr. F is lying.
Dems sat on accuser story for 1 1/2 months, then leaked her identity after K’s hearing was over. Now Dems say: Sloooow down. Do another FBI investigation of K because we suddenly have all these new accusers. Dems always outfox majority Republicans.
Add Dem delays ... 1 1/2 months + another week + another week + this upcoming week + ...
Dems will create new delay tactics, week after week ...
Sometimes I hate it when I’m right all the time.
Hi, libertylover - Hoping I did not give you the impression that I was agreeing with what’s happening. No deal should have been struck with the RINOs. That’s been the problem all along...making deals with RINOs... I’ve told my beloved, that at some time long ago, the Republicans needed to purge the RINOs even if it meant a harder slough through the mountains... because of the RINOs, we Republicans helped place Judge Kavanaugh in this horrendous position. I tell my beloved that while Jesus woke my soul, he (my husband) educated me politically and if he’s not pleased with my strong beliefs he has to admit he shaped them a great deal. LOL
This whole thing is a lie.
