White House Tells F.B.I. to Interview Anyone Necessary for Kavanaugh Inquiry
Was in shock from the Flake comment to be shocked again by the article you posted.
Wonder how long it will take to confirm that this is actually happening.
The BS is nested like those stupid little Russian dolls. At this rate it’s definitely going to take a kangaroo court to get to the bottom of why the charade failed to cover up for the horse and pony show.
Flake appears to have an emerging sense of history…
He’s admitted he would never have done this if he weren’t retiring. Now what about Corker?
Sen. Flake, you need to tell Grassley and the Turtle that you and the others won’t vote for Kavenaugh unless there is a credible FBI investigation, including his drinking and apparent lies during his testimony. That’s the only way to get them and the White House to stop interfering.
And while you’re at it, Sen. Flake, find out how he ran up such a debt buying baseball tickets and then suddenly paid it off.
Yes Senator we will take your concerns under advisement (c’mon Friday)
I’m not sure that Jeff Flake believes in the institution of the US Senate in the way that you do or I do, but I think he at least believes his own story about what he believes. Or something.
Anyway, it’s better than McConnell with his delay-for-a-year-oops-now-a-week-is-a-long-time bullshit, which I’m amazed he can say without cracking a smile.
“We don’t need another he-ro.” Oh wait, actually, we need as many as we can get. Corker, Collins, Murkowski–I’m looking at you.
fulsome
he he …
every good barkeep knows ya shouldn’t do that …
a " beers not a beer " if ya don’t leave room for the foam ! ----
Just say “I will not vote unless this investigation is allowed to operate independently and free of obstruction to the full extent of the FBI’s capabilities.” There, done. It’s not hard
More likely profound guilt after his sorely needed elevator shaming…
McConnell achieved his Senate seat by a singularly vicious, dishonest campaign. He has not changed one bit from the conscienceless creep he was then. He admires Kavanaugh’s relentless dissembling and outright lying. It’s key to GOP successes.
But is that “tell” in the sense of telling reporters he told them that when he really didn’t, or “tell” in the sense of an actual damn order was signed countermanding the earlier one written directive? God forbid the NYT run down that detail.
Oh for pity’s sake, Flake, ring down the curtain on this shit show. You already know Kavanaugh lied to the committee about lots and lots of things. You already aren’t Trumpy enough for the hard-core base. If you want to preserve viability as a presidential candidate capable of being considered by women and independents for 2020, declare it over, already!
Well shut my mouth.
On another thread, I suggested I would win the lottery before Flake will make a statement such as this.
Looks like Mega Millions is up to $367m for tomorrow.
I guess I better go buy a ticket so I can collect my money. Yeah!!!
“We certainly want the FBI to do a real investigation and we are working to make sure that that happens,” Flake said in an on-stage interview at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit in Boston.
Senator, who is “we”? The public is not seeing it. Quite the opposite, in fact.
I wonder how many stories it will take before those on the fence will finally realize this guy is another serial liar.
To quote SNL, “Why this guy?”
There has to be some other anti-abortion, pro Executive Privilege asshole out there who hasn’t been a lying blackout drunkard who assaulted women. At least one. Maybe?
