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.
HAD IT!!!!
The only investigation should be that of conniving, corrupt democrats.
The FBI has no jurisdiction.
F em,
Repeal the 19th amendment. I am tired of these bimbos running the country. It is a disgrace.
"Our 'investigation' would last about 30 minutes. We have no crime scene to investigate and nobody left to interview. We have sworn statements and/or testimony from every person who has been named in this allegation, so we just need to compile them all into one document and run off 100 copies at Staples."
Manchin tweeted same.
“Nothing to investigate.” So says the FBI. She’s toast.
Not surprised. Predicted it. Collins will do the same and McConnell will be forced to delay.
I am so angry right now. This whole thing is a farce! Why don’t the republicans get some backbone???? DISGUSTING!!!!!
Alaska Ping.
Manchin and Flake are snivelling weasels!
Time to end this madness. Now!
If they don’t find anything will they support perjury charges against Ford?
So—McConnell’s been sand-bagged big time.
Let’s see how he responds.
This is the dumbest crap EVER!!!!!!
FBI my ass.
