WASHINGTON — Two key undecided senators signaled Thursday that they are satisfied with the F.B.I.’s investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Senate Republican leaders were increasingly confident that he would be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Senators Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan Collins of Maine did not say that they will vote for Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump’s second Supreme Court nominee. But after a closed-door briefing in which Republicans were told that no witnesses corroborated the accounts of Judge Kavanaugh’s main accusers, both made positive remarks. A yes vote from both would secure Judge Kavanaugh’s seat on the highest court in the land.
“It appears to be a very thorough investigation, but I am going back later today to personally read the interviews,” Ms. Collins said. “That’s really all I have to say right now.”
Mr. Flake told reporters, “We’ve seen no additional corroborating information.”
During the briefing, which lasted nearly an hour, Republican aides went through 46 pages of interview reports, nine of them devoted to a single witness: Mark Judge, a friend and high school drinking buddy of Judge Kavanaugh whom Dr. Blasey said was present when the future judge tried to rape her during a high school gathering when they were teenagers, most likely during in the summer of 1982.
Democrats tried to keep up the pressure, challenging the legitimacy of the investigation. They said the F.B.I., at the White House’s direction, had left key witnesses off the interview list and left leads unexplored.
“What I can say is the most notable part of this report is what’s not in it,” Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told reporters at a brief appearance in the Capitol.

Rats are heading to Flakes office now....
Keep Coons away.
Ford and Kavaugh both gave comprehensive public testimony to the US Senate last week. There is no evidence to be gather by talking to them yet again. This is just an obvious hyper partisan attempt to create a purposeless delay by the losing side in a vain effort to continue their despicable smearing of Judge Kavaugh.
Flake kind of has to vote yea as he asked for the delay and got it. Of course, with a name like, well...
How much you wanna bet he gets at least two democrat votes?
Maybe a lot more.
I predict violence today. Somewhere.
What about the a$$hole Murkowski?
You do know that these two women were plants, one is an illegal alien, investigation has shown that they were paid by a Soros like organization. The elevator they accessed was a secure Senate Elevator, and the TV news crew was set up early. This is being reported by Limbaugh, and others on the radio.
Flake will vote no, mark my words.
I have contacted the offices of Flake, Merkowski, Collins, Sasse, Durbin and Duckworth to urge them to vote for Judge K.

Marking your words
All of this destruction of the Kavanaughs just to provide political cover for these three virtue-signalling cowards. What disgusting people Collins, Murkowski, and Flake are.
Hate to say it, but Leftist violence is exactly what we need to complete the mobilization of the MAGA voter army.
Until tomorrow.
I tend to agree...Flake is a sniveling coward. Plus, he likes to be an a-hole. Not really an endearing combo.
