“All the President said is that he would not interfere with the scope of the investigation (an excellent move).”
I can’t find his comments but if I remember correctly he was saying there are no limitations on the investigation and FBI could basically do what it wanted. It sounded pretty open ended and there are reports that the RATS have a list of 24 additional people they want interviewed. This is an excellent move only if you want this investigation to go on forever and the nomination to die a slow death.
This may be true but it doesn't go to my point. The Judicial Committee voted to allow the FBI one week to conduct any supplemental investigation. McConnell can hold them to that assuming, of course, he has enough to call the vote. This is the Senate's business and -- supposedly -- McConnell and the Republicans control the Senate where the Democrat/Left is a minority.
Understanding all of this, it's really up to the Republican senators to come together, agree to end the investigation as voted by the Judiciary Committee, and vote to confirm ... in which case the Democrats cannot do a damn thing about it (except lose a few seats in states where Democrat/Left senators who vote no would reduce their chances of being re-elected by a PO'd red-state voter base (e.g., Indiana; Montana).
The stipulation was ONE WEEK! That has not changed and will not change. End of story!
