Given the extremely bad faith that the GOP has exhibited at every step of the way in this process, somehow I don’t find this news surprising.

They act as if they don’t think it will matter. A lifetime of never having to bear the consequences of your bad decisions will do that.

Brennan’s recollections of Kavanaugh from that era are sparse, as he believes he cut him from the varsity team in 1983, which would have been Kavanaugh’s freshman year at Yale. “He wasn’t Brett Kavanaugh then,” Brennan told Yahoo Sports in a phone interview. “He was just [some kid named] Brett Kavanaugh.”
Kavanaugh told the committee that he tried out for the varsity, played junior varsity basketball and attended captain’s practice soon after arriving on campus. He mentioned basketball from high school and college a total of 16 times.
Brennan admits his recollections about Kavanaugh in those days more than 30 years ago are limited. He’s cut dozens of players over the years, which inherently limits interactions. Brennan admits that he didn’t recall much from Kavanaugh writing about the basketball team for the Yale Daily News.

Hasn’t it been obvious for the last few YEARS that repugnicans just don’t give a bleep if we can figure it out,
They have their own media ecosystem and they can sell their voters ANYTHING!

The FBI investigation is a sugar pill with no active ingredients; a placebo meant to make Collins, Murkowsky and Flake feel better about voting yes on Kavanaugh.

Everything the’ve accused the Dems of doing with respect to the FBI they do, have done and will do themselves.
Perhaps the FBI is already partially corrupted.
Nowhere is it written that our democracy will last forever. Dangerous times.

So, the question to Flake must be about this sham process.
If you can’t turn over the rocks, you will never find the reptiles, even in Arizona.
Is Flake going to be able to stand in the next elevator and honestly say the investigation was allowed to follow the facts? Or, is he just going to give up his so called Conservative principles, swallow his earlier rants about Trump, and slink back to Arizona and find his own rock to hide under?
This performance has multiple acts and if he thinks he can work this audience to create a path to the presidency, he is more crooked than his nose.

Jeff Flake's "Investigation" Is A Predicable Trumpian Sham - emptywheel
This was about the easiest thing in the world to predict. Jeff Flake issues some hollow self indulgent bullshit to make himself look like the last great reasonable man, and it is all garbage being run as cover for a complicit Trump White House and weak Senate Republicans (and at least one faux Democrat) desperately and cowardly seeking any fig leaf possible to allow them to put a craven, partisan, angry and drunkard historical sex offender on the United States Supreme Court for the next three to four decades.

Thought experiment: put high school boy Kavanaugh, et al., in 2018 not 1982. Give them all Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and all the rest. Imagine all the evidence these people would have left behind… Like the yearbook except recorded in real time over the whole experience.

So far the list of approved witnesses include Brett’s kindergarten choir director and two pedophile priests approved by Lindsay “Cracker” Graham.
It’s also fun to note that Toadglans’ nutcracker Michael Avenatti represents Swetnick. He said this morning on AM Joy that if she’s not interviewed he will “take her story to the American people.” In case you haven’t noticed, he knows how to do that.
Also, I wish all of these women would simply walk into the Montgomery County Police Department and file complaints; they’ve already been invited to do so by the head county mountie.

OK, then, since you insist, you have permission to search the house for the missing pistol. You may look in the parlor, and you may look in the kitchen. You may look in the master bedroom and you may look in the den.
But you may not look in the library. Especially in the desk. Especially in the top drawer of the desk. Absolutely not.
