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.
The FBI will politely decline again.
Investigation of what?
Investigate Flake and Murkwoski too. Can you imagine the deals that are being made in the background? What would rich libs offer them to sabotage the vote? At the very least another week of delays would mean great ratings for the MSM.
the wacko’s will continue to come forward even after he’s investigated....the more that come forward the more people, except the hard left, understand what a sham these accusations are...
Give Alaska back to the Russians.
I might agree with your point except Flake is so flaky. And he’s (IMHO) not that smart.
I still think if he was not going to be confirmed Flake would’ve demanded investigation before floor vote. He didn’t. This is cover. That’s why graham was nicey nice
That said, FBI should be fast - 6 back ground checks and testimony that says didn’t happen and accuser cannot name, when, where, who etc - so not much to investigate. Just type it up and make 100 copies and press the “Easy” button
I knew this fugly hag would screw it up.
Exactly. Just as we saw the Debra Ramirez allegation and the Sweatnick (sp) allegation came out, due to the time they delayed things due to negotiation with Ford’s lawyers, new bull crap will come out during the next week. And then the liberals will proclaim we need to delay further to investigate the brand new allegations.
In what way does this nepotism brat represent the Alaskans?
Joe Miller could have her seat next time with the Bush gang out of the picture. CANNOT see Don Trump helping her in any way.
We all know that "limited" means NOTHING to the Dems! The FBI already rejected DiFi's referral to them of the letter from Ford, what exactly do they imagine demanding they investigate the incident will uncover? As has been reiterated, the FBI only looks at facts and issues a report. It is up to prosecutors to take that report and prosecute or toss it. Look for more dirty tricks and ridiculous accusations to materialize as the plan all along is to delay until the November elections. I pray this blows up in their faces as thinking Americans reject the games and lies.
A week delay is 5+ bimbos
This will give the Dems time to find a “victim” that was abducted by aliens on flying saucers acting in consort with evil Kavanaugh and subjected to an anal probe....
Where is Turtle?
INVESTIGATE WHAT FORD’S ALLEGATION? NOPE. THIS THING WILL BE LIKE MUELLER’S PROBE AND GO ON AND ON WITH “WELL WE NOW NEED THEM TO INVESTIGATE THIS OTHER WOMAN”
Sorry for the caps but I’m so mad I can’t believe these GOP bastards.
Pull the damn pork from their district..vote them out..punish these assholes.
Sure Flake isn’t up again but I bet he has something that he needs or wants.
You are absolutely right. This also removes any cloud over Kavanaugh’s head that the Dems will use to impeach him if they regain the house. We have freepers so intent on winning the war that they forget they need to win the battles. This ends the only talking point the Dems have. Give them a week and then destroy them
Murkowski 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. Just what is that limited scope 1 wk,2 wk, 4wks 10 wks Jan 2019? More time to bring in more POS and attack Kavanuagh then we have to have more hearing. Murkowski, Flake, Collins are 1st class POS. Look like Flake is following in the steps of McCain.The POS are are to cost the Repub the senate in Nov. Sens these two A-hole a mwessage
@SenFlakeStaff @lisamurkowski
