This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever seen...

[ADX]

...Flake is just trying to save face. He got no reassurances that there will be an FBI investigation, nor can he.

[manor321]

1. Yes, but I'm still happy the delay will happen (assuming it happens)

It gives opportunity for something to save us.

[dagnuguy]

3. It won't happen

Flake is a POS

[ADX]

5. "IF" is the biggest word in the dictionary...

[peekaloo]

2. both of them!

[Stallion]

4. Not Bullshit if Flake, Murkowski and Collins are Part of the Agreement

[ADX]

6. Well then all three of them could be full of shit and most likely are...

...They're all going to end up voting for this scumbag anyway, they're just trying to appear as if they actually give a fuck. McConnell could say no, the FBI could say no, the shit could never happen, but in the meantime, these three will say "Well, we tried but..."

I'll believe differently when I see differently but I'm not holding my breath.

7. They'll probably give him a "limited" FBI investigation to cover themselves and Kavanaugh.

I thought they might pull this. I would be surprised if they insist on a vote without the investigation.

[scheming daemons]

8. He will vote no unless there is an investigation.... all he needs is one other GOP senator to agree

[Alhena]

9. Yeah, and he clearly implied others had. There will be an investigation- question is how thorough

[ADX]

11. Not if the FBI declines to do one based on "lack of corroborative evidence"...

...or if pertinent witnesses refuse to cooperate. A week isn't a lot of time to issue and enforce subpoenas, etc.

I wish I had a good feeling about this but I don't. It's a ploy...

[MineralMan]

10. Well, Flake voted yes on sending it to the floor of the Senate.

It doesn't look like he has any agreement for anything. It's a yes vote on the question before the committee. They can just ignore the rest of the discussion and take it straight to a vote. Unless the question was changed, it is what it was.

Senate Rules. Robert's Rules of Order. The motion is the motion. Unless it is changed, it remains what it was.
