Will the Democrats accept the results of the FBI investigation?
(Daily Caller) President Donald Trump ordered the FBI to conduct an investigation into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett Kavanaugh as requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday.
“I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week,†White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted on behalf of the president.
The move comes after the committee convened to vote on advancing Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate with a 11-10 recommendation on a party line vote. Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona voted “yes†with the condition that an FBI probe would briefly investigation Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh.
Prior to the committee meeting, Flake announced that he would be voting to confirm Kavanaugh. Only after speaking with Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware did he include the condition of the FBI investigation.
Regardless of Flakes extreme #NeverTrump and Trump Derangement Syndrome attitudes, he’s voted with Trump the majority of the time and Kavanaugh is exactly the type of Conservative he would support. One of the reasons he surely did this, and we’ll never know them all, is that he’s using this as a way to attempt to get Democrats to just move on. Lindsay Graham stated
Graham said that in his opinion, “you can have the FBI, the CIA and the Foreign Legion” investigate Kavanaugh and still not find any new information.
He added that Flake just wants to make sure the process of confirming the nominee is fair.
“I’ve never felt better about [Kavanaugh] being on the bench than I do right now,” Graham said.
Flake wrote before the Judicial Committee vote “In fact, I commented at the time that had he been nominated in another era, he would have likely received 90+ votes.” This could be a way to increase that vote count from the unhinged Democrats.
Six FBI background checks found nothing worth investigating. In all these years nothing ever came up which gave pause to Kavanaugh sitting on any judicial bench, not coaching all sorts of girls teams in his private life. Will Democrats drop the matter when this one comes back the same as others?

So, Ford’s lawyer is trying to expand the probe in time and scope. Will Democrats go with and demand more time? Mitch McConnell looks like he’s moving forward
The Senate had been expected to begin debate on Kavanaugh’s nomination this weekend, but after Trump’s order, McConnell adjourned the body until Monday. A potential confirmation vote may not come until late next week, next weekend or perhaps the week of Oct. 7.
“This is a nomination that deserves to move forward — and that is precisely what is happening,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor Friday.
Added McConnell, “Now we will keep the process moving.”
Come next Friday, the investigation needs to be over. We’ll probably have a report by Wednesday. McConnell should immediately move to debate.

He supports a one week investigation. Place your bets on what day Corey says that one week is not enough.
The Republicans have had the votes all along to confirm Kavanaugh. They have a majority in the Judicial Committee and the overall Senate.
The Dems cannot block them.
By George, our little retarded mascot may have gotten the word.
The Demos leaned on Flake, who is one and seems to have no will of his own, and got him to go along. McConnell then did his duty and asked The God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne to talk to the FBI.
And this is where the Demos plan came apart. Now that he’s involved, The Donald set the parameters – one more background check, only a week.
The Demos want to play games with the Master.
In the immortal words of Ahnold – Big Mistake. Now we will see what the public thinks because the polls will come in on all of this (Jeffery apparently finally got the word).
How tired they are of the circus.
How many women can see their husbands, brothers, sons, or fathers put in such a mess.
What they think of people like Spartacus.
What they think of the Left’s tactics.
How much trouble they’re in a month out.
Senator Flake (that rarest of birds, a courageous Republican, and one who values America more than party) bent tRump, Grassley, McConnell, the SC Belle et al, over and made them take it like men.
Senator Flake, whom tRump detests, has tRump by the short hairs. If tRump had had any leverage remaining he would have just refused to engage the FBI, but insecure bully that he is, he could never appear to be bested (e.g., withdrawing Kavanaugh for the good of the nation) so now he’s putting Kavanaugh at significantly increased risk.
The FBI may find corroborative evidence or they many not. In any event, we’ll be closer to the truth, and may be able to salvage the dwindling reputation of the Supreme Court, even if a proven liar and belligerent Republican hack is confirmed.
The nasty little pedo going all anal again, yo.
You’re the one with the undeniable restraining orders.
We meant giving them a good paddling. What did you mean, yo?
No, Trump is smart.
He knows nothing comes of this, but he gets the Whigs in a corner where they can’t whine about another FBI investigation, but it’s not the FBI investigation the Demos wanted, just a background check limited in scope and to 1 week.
So, when the week (or less) is up, we have the vote and it’s over and Jeffery for all his nonsense about how slick Flake is (joke) or what a patriot Murki is (an even bigger joke), we have the vote because nothing is resurrected and little Jeffery goes to cry in a corner.
In any event, we’ll be closer to the truth
You mean like Mule Ears finally gonna give us the goods?
I’m glad they are investigating. I can’t imagine the Tsunami that is about to hit the Democrats in the mid-terms over this. Now Bernie Sanders is doubling down and demanding Kavanaugh be investigated for making false statements at least four times during the hearing on his nomination.
I hope charges are brought. That means disclosure and then all of a sudden the preponderance of the evidence is upon the accused because we still do operate in courts of law that you are innocent until proven guilty. Discovery/Disclosure is going to bring a lot of the swamp to the surface and I know Bernie wants that because all his fellow corporatist Democrats sure dont.
And Bernie is now trying to crush his 2020 opposition which would include the IN BED OMG have you seen a list of the corporations BOOKER has taken money from….It will blow your mind. Kamala Harris must be banging every wall street tycoon on the planet for her own list of corporate money.
And yes before you ask this has to be disclosed as part of campaign finance laws. The democrats are in bed with the rich and wealthy more than even the GOP…..and the left wonders why there is a walk away movement going on in the JackAss Party.
Sorry that should have been the preponderance of the evidence is upon the accusers not the accused. You do not have to prove your innocent like they are making Kavanaugh right now. The accusers have to PROVE YOUR GUILTY and in return for this there is something called Disclosure/Discovery which means ALL information must be turned over to BOTH sides if it is to be used in trial.
The FBI “investigation” should be over by Monday.
Mark Judge to cooperate, Leland Keyser to cooperate.

Most of what’s come out so far is Dr Crazy’s phony credentials.
I watched A youtube video by a body language expert(Retired FBI profiler) and the expert was she is not telling the truth, and continues to look to one of the democratic senators for subtle directions everytime she was asked who paid for the polygraph and how did she obtain her current lawyers. Everytime her eyes instinctively went to the Democratic side of the aisle, and he noticed in particular they went to the exact same person because using computer modeling he could tell the line of sight of her eyes went to the same Senator everytime. Now who that senator was he was not sure.
In addition he noticed several lies which were later seized upon by the so called terrible interrogator who IMO did an awesome job of letting the American people decide this case. Not her and not the GOP.
One of the biggest things he noticed was Grassley said in his prepared statement that the GOP was willing to come to California and interview her in private contacting her and requesting her cooperation. She did not bat an eye, make any kind of HUH? What? motion yet when later she admitted under oath that she wanted them to come to California to interview her because she was afraid of flying she said I guess that was too much to expect. Additionally according to the timeline she immediately hired lawyers when the GOP offered to send their staffers to interview her but When questioned on this a second time she returned to that defiant, how dare you call me a liar attitude.
The most telling thing he noticed was when she went into her statement about being raped she switched from her usual voice, into this timid, high pitched CUTIE PIE he called it. He saw it thousands of times used by women especially when testifying. They want you to think, Im this cute little girl who is so sweet and kind and loving and loyal that how could I possibly be lying. In other words even her speech and tone inflection switched when she gave her prepared statement. Upon finishing her statement she threw her head back, flipped her glasses on top of her head and went into a defiant how dare you question ME attitude. Looking at the senators who asked not a single question.
She lied four distinct times and when the female attorney asked her saying let me make sure we are on the same page she doubled down on the lie and every American who sat riveted to the TV was allowed to make their own evaluations of who to believe. This is a sad day in America.
If FORD was not a Trump hating, marching in the street far left loon wearing a PUSSY ON HER HEAD and railing against the Right then many of us might find her story has some merit. But because she is hyper-political to the point of even hiring lawyers whose sole mission in life is destroying peoples lives they disagree with politically. Forget the METOO MOVEMENT for just one second. How can anyone seriously believe this woman when her friend from the party doesn’t recall any of this and when asked to testify told Ford. Good luck, your own your own baby. Meaning she didnt want to go to jail lying for a woman she knows is clearly lying.
How can any American believe this woman. That would be like Believing Trump when he said he never had sex with those women while his lawyer paid them hush money. Seriously?
I know Flake has been a member of the GWB/Obama/Rove UNIPARTY since ’01. I think it is unfair to both Ron + Don to say UNIPARTY folk are Republicans! NWO Globalists, yes!
