The odds 90%+ is the FBI won't be able to confirm any sexual assault allegation.

It's probably more like 99.9%.

That being said, Democrats will use the week to find someone else to make up a false claim against Kavanaugh.

Flake, Collins and Murkowski are pathetic. They are intentionally causing anguish to Kavanaugh and his family because they are spineless, unprincipled and only care about themselves. And, in the case of Flake, that is giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming is not a vindictive prick.

It’s all about the money... Retiring Jeff Flake is graduating to life in the Deep State. You can bet $ that there is a payoff coming probably courtesy of his friend Senator Chris Coons of Delaware and some Soros org.

I plan to support him unless they turn up something—and they might.
Wait - is this actually a quote from him? “and they might”?
______________

Yes. And they might discover that pigs can fly and elephants can sing. And they might discover a dozen men, women, dogs, goats and children who swear that Kavanaugh had his way with them.

I’d love to punch him in the nose in hope of straighting it out.

What a WUSS....Flake said he would vote yes, then the Democrats and his BEST FRIEND COONS, GANG RAPED him in that anteroom and he FOLDED....thanks Arizona!

Sorry - can everybody stop blaming everyone who lives in a state where an asshole politician lives for the asshole politician. There are very few states that don't have some jerk that's caused grief at some point in time. It's not helpful at a time when we need to stay united.

I know sometimes it's just venting but right now we need to stay focused.

And the negative is there will be new allegations tomorrow.

The positive side of all this BS is the FBI supplemental background check will provide cover for Collins, Murkowski, Flake and Manchin to vote for confirmation.

...

Why would Flake need cover? He’s not running for reelection.

I’m thinking of the end of “Die Hard” when Bonnie Bedelia punches out the reporter, I’d love to see Kavanaugh’s wife do the same.

“Ford will never talk to the FBI.”

She will talk to them. But she can’t fly to meet them because of “confined spaces”. They will have to fly to her.

Flake needs a Minder 24/7. He cannot be thrusted out by himself.

When I watch the video of Flake calling for the delay, he looks flat out scared to me. My wife and her mother agreed when we all watched it. They got to him.

I don't trust this bastard for a second. He has one last middle finger planned for Trump on his way out the door. He is channeling his butt-buddy McStain and has a history. He is planning to challenge Trump in the 2020 primaries from the Kasick/Corker/Jeb/Marco/Soyboy/LowT wing of the GOPE/globalist party.

The optimistic view is that Flake did it, to appease the Democrats on the Committee so they would vote. They couldn’t vote until at least two Democrats were there.

Then Flake of course, knowing there’s nothing the FBI would turn up in a week, would have cover to vote yes, and hopefully take Collins and Murkowski with him.

Trump is probably ok with it, because he knows it will just backfire on the Dems even more.

He looks like somebody in the past punched him in the nose.

Nah - someone he was brown-nosing took a hard left.

He really should have that straightened out.

Naively optimistic. You really think it happens that way?

As Flake says:
“...unless they turn up something—and they might.”. Do you actually think the delay is about confirming the allegations?
