Flake needs to have handlers assigned to him. He’s not safe to be left on his own.
He probably has handlers assigned to him.
Neon Revolt had a video up of Flakes demand for another week.
Flake was coached. The D’s were going to walk out of the committee hearing en mass. For a quorum, you need 9, including 2 minority members.
The walkout would have prevented a vote and perhaps locked it up for good. A nuclear option.
Flake asked for the week. Only Flake could have done this. You should look at Feinstein’s face after the ask. She didn’t expect it.
Because Flake did this, the D’s stayed, voted no, and Flake’s vote got the nominee to the floor.
Turns out that the FBI HAD ALREADY BEEN investigating. Since 12SEP, the day after the letter was leaked by Feinstein to the press.
They knew this was coming, and they were ready. 1000+ NEW pages of FBI investigation came down - only it was about Ford mostly, not Kavanaugh.
Damning stuff too.
And on Saturday, they vote.
I’ll bet the Chinese would make her a general if she defected before the weekend. Feinstein would be happy there.
