Jeff Flake just asked the judicial committee to request an FBI investigation and hold the vote until next week. A tiny ray of hope, maybe.

Hey, it looks like republicans aren't uniformly blinded to a lack of ethics. Maybe flake is trying to set himself up as the next McCain, the next republican with a soul. Or maybe the reason McCain passed on was this guy secretly eating his soul, so he could absorb his principled powers?
I can only hope this means he's going to make a run in 20/20.
Flake insists there should be an investigation before the full vote. I'm certain we can count on him flaking out on it when McConnell promises to think about it after the full Senate vote. Seriously, to Newark, NJ with the GOP.

He does have the tells. I recently listened to a podcast interview of a lie detection expert, and he listed some markers they look for and BSK committed most of them. And besides, he also tells too many obvious and unnecessary lies.

Maybe he's really trying to stick it to Trump. McConnell might not be able to get his 50 votes if Cheato won't pony up with a request to the FBI... his best friends as we all know. If Trump DOES request an investigation, BS Brett is likely to withdraw his own name the very same day. He is guilty as fuck, as anyone can see who isn't totally blind to the tells.

As of now, it looks like the Republicans have agreed to delay the nomination a week, while they rush through a cursory reopened FBI background check. I still think that it is unlikely to block Kavanaugh's confirmation. The Democrats embarrassed Republicans by continually pointing out their tactic of trying to avoid one. So they will ask Trump to ask the FBI, who will be expected to give a report to Trump, who will be expected to give it to the Senate. There really isn't time to do all of that properly in a week, but they will do the little kabuki exercise anyway and then vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

All I can hope is that the FBI finds a name for a potential fourth boy, and thus locates a house that fits the description, thus making the event cannon, and thus invalidating all claims that witnesses weren't there to witness it. Though I don't put any faith in the process that authorizes the investigation; I suspect it will be limited in scope in such a way to prevent any actual investigation from happening.

Maybe the FBI can use its TARDIS to travel back to early 80s Maryland prep schools and infiltrate the notorious Kavanaugh-Judge rape gang; have a few agents become one of the bros. Then they'll find the the mythical "fourth boy" as he's drinking beer with Kav and Jud and playing quarters off the cocaine-covered ass of college girl Julie Swetnick. [Eye of the Tiger serenades the background.] He'll talk. Yeah know he will.

Except Swetnick never claimed she was raped by freshmen. Nice try making a joke about rapes, though.

Right, she was a college student who claims to have gone to rape parties with high school students. She's totally credible - Creepy Porn Lawyer vouches for her.
