Jeff Flake slams Trump ahead of midterms: 'we can't refer to of our opponents as losers and clowns'

11. He voted to recommend confirmation by the Senate. His vote "yes" was not predicated....

on anything. He said he wanted an FBI investigation before his final vote, but his Judiciary Committee vote was to recommend confirmation. That's what that vote was. It was not a vote for an FBI investigation. It was not a vote not to confirm yet. It was "yes," Kavanaugh passed muster with me. Send it on to the full Senate for a vote to confirm. There is no good reason for me not to confirm.

We don't know anything about the investigation, except that it's very limited. I see people here in DU speaking of a history of drunkenness (irrelevant), rape (rape is not an allegation being investigated), and so on. It is very limited in scope and time. News articles and public interviews are not part of the FBI investigation.

Now the Repubs are asking for investigations (wholesale and full scale) on the leaking of Ford's letter. And there is maybe going to be a criminal action against one accuser (a man who said he rescued a woman being assaulted by Kavanaugh, which wasn't true).

Odds are high that he'll be confirmed. It ain't over til the fat lady sings, as they say. But it's looking like the FBI probe is just a facade to pretend "we had an FBI investigation!"
