FLAKE FLAKES OUT [UPDATED] Earlier this morning, Senator Jeff Flake said he would vote Yes on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. But when the Judiciary Committee met and voted, he threw a curve ball: Flake voted Yes and the nomination went to the Senate floor on an 11-10 party line vote. But Flake said he will ultimately vote for the nomination only if there is a brief delay to permit another FBI investigation. Lisa Murkowski followed up by telling an interviewer she supports Flake’s call for a delay. So it seems doubtful that the final vote can be held tomorrow as planned. That isn’t good, but an FBI investigation isn’t problematic in itself. The Agency will interview the people who have already been interviewed and report that they said the things they already have said. It will add nothing to our knowledge, particularly if, as Flake suggested, “It would be short and limited in scope to the current allegations here.” Which means, I take it, the Christine Ford allegations. If there is a delay, it needn’t be long. The FBI could probably re-interview the small number of relevant witnesses in the next 24 hours if it wanted to. (If the Agency wanted to add to our knowledge, it could ask Ford’s parents and siblings why they didn’t sign the letter in support of Christine. But I don’t suppose that will happen.) If the FBI investigates over the weekend, the vote could be held on Monday. read more Pre-order Michael P. Ramirez art for holiday gift giving
