McConnell says only senators will see FBI's Kavanaugh report

The Hill ^ | 10/02/18 | JORDAIN CARNEY

[CharlesWayneCT]

Schumer has crossed his wires with Feinstein, who came out earlier and said the FBI report should be kept secret to protect the names of people who talked.

[treetopsandroofs]

Seeing as how they actually boast of breaking the rules and law, and foment violence....

[TexasGator]

Your really think the dems wouldn’t share before leaking?

[Osage Orange]

Thought the same thing.....

[neonovanglus]

She wants it private, so she can lie about it in public. Just like Schiff did on the Russia stuff.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

True, and i believe that 2 or more RED state RATS are going to flip, which is why there is so much bluster right now. I think we have the votes and Flake gets fuc*ed 3 ways from sideway by all this. One can hope.

[Hatteras]

"Why are our Republican colleagues so afraid of making this public?" he asked.

WTF? Did I not just read an article that said DiFiChi was requesting that the report not be made public?

[ScottinVA]

Each copy of the report should have some unique piece of info embedded, so as to ID whomever the leakers will be. And we know it’ll be leaked.

[He added, “that’s the way these reports are always handled.”]

That’s the reason why AMERICA is in the shape it is in - hide wrong doing under the carpet.

[Qiviut]

Only Senators may get a copy, but good or bad (especially if bad), it will be leaked almost immediately.

[lurk]

This report will stay secret forever. We can trust the Senate and their staff to never leak a word.

[50mm]

You’re probably right. At this point the rats would anticipate a trap and do a side by side compare of each copy before leaking anyway.

"Flake is a NO vote You might as well face it"

So he doesn't want any stinking business or friendly neighbors back home?

Jeff Flake: I Will Vote to Confirm Brett Kavanaugh
Breitbart
by Sean Moran
September 28, 2018
[Excerpt from Jeff Flake's written statement, emphasis in bold mine:]

What I do know is that our system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absent corroborating evidence. That is what binds us to the rule of law. While some may argue that a different standard should apply regarding the Senate’s advice and consent responsibilities, I believe that the constitution’s provisions of fairness and due process apply here as well.

I will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

[Coon's reaction as quoted in the article.]
"CNN reports that when Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) heard the news of Flake’s decision, his immediate response was, 'Oh f*ck.'"

The scenario is worse for Democrats. They're expecting Judge Kavanaugh to be confirmed.

[Rashputin]

Why didn't he just announce that he arranged for the Democrats to have a field day telling lies about what's in the report the FBI produces?

That's what not making the results public amounts to.

[lurk]

This report will stay secret forever. We can trust the Senate and their staff to never leak a word.

[familyop]

Democrats are also expecting Flake to vote yes for confirmation.

[HamiltonJay]

So the left will make up things and claim the report says things... Redact the names and release...

[bkopto]

The Rats will leak only if the leaks can be spun to benefit them. Otherwise the report goes down the old rathole.

[DarthVader]

I would not count on that.

[RoseofTexas]

Yep! SOB!! He doesn’t give a rats ass if he sinks an honorable man’s career, livelihood his reputation, his wife, and innocent daughters just to spite trump! But I hear that his young son has some behavioral issues!! Things like this have a nasty habit of boomerang! Just saying!
