Well, it may actually be Murkowski’s request, with a steep hat tip to Klobuchar, but I’ll take it.

So I assume trump will ask the FBI to investigate 6.5 days from now …

Because the clock started already, and tRump is really busy so won’t be able to get around to ordering any investigations

Like they had a choice. This will give some of them a fig leaf to hide under. What we saw yesterday, from both witnesses, should have been enough to disqualify him.

Hey, if Judge “Weak Stomach” can make an immigrant girl wait two weeks for an abortion, I see no reason why he can’t wait one week for his.

AKA despite twisting arms all day “I only have 47 votes”…

Only explanation there is on all of this.

Now we need to hope for a full and professional FBI investigation in the age of Trump.

The GOP does not believe FBI investigations anymore according to my Cliff notes version of wingnut theory.

Can McConnell be trusted to keep his word? His history is not good. Also, will the FBI conduct a thorough and unbiased investigation?

I can’t think of any reason there may be grounds for ill will between Trump and the FBI😂

Plenty of time for more shit to hit the fan. And it doesn’t have to come from the FBI, either. I think a lot of people out there - especially pissed-off women who don’t want to put up with this kind of treatment anymore, and someone like Michael Avenatti who can really wreak havoc on Trump, Graham, Kavanaugh and a lot of others, since he doesn’t have a political career and risks practically nothing, and also does so in defense of his client, Julie Swetnick - want to see these asshole GOP members pay a major price for their behavior concerning this travesty.
Works for me!
And BTW, I am very surprised we haven’t seen Li’l Lindzers say, “But Brett Kavanaugh is the REAL rape victim here!” But give him time.

Of course not.

But if he reneges on this, Flake and Murkowski won’t vote for Kavanaugh.
Se despite his natural inclination to be a total dick at all times, he won’t go back on his word on this one.

The FBI will try to investigate this to the best of their ability, the question really is if they will get hamstrung by political operatives trying to block them. We already saw today that Grassley’s office blocked Ramirez from testifying, so more of that will make the investigation meaningless. And, the FBI will have to put resources to this, if one agent is told to make some calls nothing will come of it.

We’ll have to wait and see…hopefully they do a thorough investigation and uncover enough information, and enough people trying to cover things up, to make it clear Kavanaugh is lying through his teeth.

So, we all know that Kav is guilty. Will he go through with this charade or will he withdraw? Did his wife know about his dark side and is complicit? Did she marry the choirboy she met during the rein of Bush II? Nah. She is just as ambitious, I am assuming.
