The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently comprised of 11 Republicans and 10 Demorats. On Friday the 28th Judge Brett Kavanaugh passed this committee and will move to the Senate itself.
With one major caveat. Republican Senator Jeff Flake — yes, we knew that we had a Republican Judas/Brutus within the committee — demanded that there must be a week-long delay in order for the FBI to conduct “an investigation” of Kavanaugh before Flake’s affirmative vote could be acquired. That was his “thirty pieces of silver” and his dagger.
A hostage situation if you will, because six prior independent FBI investigations into Kavanaugh’s background were plainly insufficient.
The GOP Senate went along with those demands for a week’s delay. From AZCentral.com:
Sen. Jeff Flake gets Senate to seek FBI inquiry of Brett Kavanaugh sex allegations
by Ronald J Hansen
U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake sided with Senate Democrats Friday to try to force a one-week FBI investigation of the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Flake agreed to send Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate, but would not support a floor vote for Kavanaugh without allowing the investigation to happen. With Flake’s help, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines 11-10 to send Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate as a whole.
The Senate Judiciary Committee asked the White House to have the FBI conduct an investigation within hours of the hearing. The requested probe “would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today,” the committee noted.
Flake, an Arizona Republican, had indicated earlier in the day his support for the judge, but pushed the nomination in a new direction after meeting privately at length with U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, who is a member of the committee and a close personal friend.
In immediate response I wrote on Facebook:
Continuing in the fine tradition of John McCain by shitting on the GOP bed, Senator Jeff Flake — a lame duck who realizes he cannot possibly be held responsible for any of his actions — has decided to hold up a Senate floor vote on Kavanaugh. Why, do you suppose? Because he despises President Trump. Facts in evidence.
There was this from the WashingtonTimes.com:
Trump orders FBI to probe Supreme Court nominee
by Stephen Dinan
GOP pushed Kavanaugh through committee but agrees to weeklong pause
President Trump ordered the FBI on Friday to reopen the background check into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, giving investigators time to to make sense of sexual assault allegations that have been lodged.
Mr. Trump insisted the new review be “limited in scope and completed in less than one week.”
He made the move in response to Senate Republicans, who after powering Judge Kavanaugh through the Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote earlier in the day said they would take extra steps to try to dispel the cloud that has arisen around the nominee.
Senate Demorats got their way with the able assistance of Republican Senator Jeff Flake. But not before admitted juvenile female breast-groper — who wrote about the situation in college — Corey Booker (see my post here) decided to act again like a child and exit the Senate Judiciary Committee room in a puerile tantrum along with Richard Blumenthal, Kamala Harris, Mazie Hirono and Sheldon Whitehouse.
J’accuse?
Let’s be blunt. We know about the molesting Demorat Corey Booker (and Demorat Keith Ellison for that matter). Let me remind you about Demorat Richard Blumenthal, from TheHill.com:
Cotton to Blumenthal: You don’t have credibility to question Kavanaugh
by Megan Keller
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped into Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Thursday for lying about his military service and then questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s credibility.
“@SenBlumenthal lied for years about serving in Vietnam, which is all you need to know about his courage & honesty,” Cotton, who is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, tweeted during the questioning. “Maybe he should reconsider before questioning Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility.”
Blumenthal has said he served in Vietnam, when he in fact sought at least five military deferments and eventually landed a spot in the Marine Reserve, where he was essentially guaranteed not to serve in the conflict itself, The New York Times reports.
So it would appear that Senator Blumenthal is another Stolen Valor liar. But of course you didn’t hear about that. Nor would you ever. The LDAMM conspire to keep It quiet. He serves their purposes so he must be covered and supported.
Then there is the Kamala Harris, who had an affair with the then-married black Demorat California power broker Willie Brown, 30 years her senior, so that she could herself be inserted into the California political power structure. Read this article.
Mazie Hirono is simply a buffoon who has no concept of America. And doesn’t want to. Hawaii? You deserve everything you don’t get from her. Like knowledge. Competence.
Sheldon Whitehouse is a zero who isn’t even worth mentioning. No one has heard of him. Ever. He’s as significant as my hemorrhoids and with much less seniority.
But what about that Jeff Flake guy? He was kinda sorta “in”, maybe, for giving a, perhaps, thumbs-up to Kavanaugh. Conceivably. Perchance. Or not.

Here’s what happened to Jeffie. He got a little bit of pushback from a couple of women in an elevator. Jeffie went full GOWP. Guilty Overeducated White Person.
But what do we know about these women, and what did they trumpet after this confrontation with Republican Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona? Oh, right. That they are connected with George Soros. From BigLeaguePolitcis.com:
Woman Who Confronted Flake In Elevator Runs Soros-Funded Organization
by Patrick Howley
Ana Maria Archila, one of the women who confronted Jeff Flake on the elevator at the Capitol after he said he was voting for Brett Kavanaugh, is the co-executive director for the Center for Popular Democracy and the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund.
The Center For Popular Democracy is heavily funded by George Soros. The organization also identified Maria Gallagher to the press as the other woman confronting Flake.
Thanks for being duped into leaning far Left, Jeffie.
The Free Beacon previously reported: “George Soros is one of the largest funders to the CPD. Soros provided the CPD with $130,000 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society in 2014 and $1,164,500 in 2015. Soros provided an additional $705,000 from the Open Society Policy Center in 2016.”
With regard to Jeff Flake, how do people operating on common sense and with actual convictions respond?
They say this: “My vote gets revealed when back in the committee hearing room. Up to that point, no one is privy to my vote. Not you, not my fellow Senators. I won’t give fodder to any side pro or con until called upon. I work for my Arizona constituents. No one else.”
Instead, it was proven that Jeff Flake will fold but upon a full front assault by a fresh slice of Velveeta cheese product.
Former NYPD officer and Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino responded on Fox and Friends regarding Jeff Flake.
Here is what happened to Jeff Flake: he became, once more, nothing but a useful tool utilized by the Demorats. They couldn’t care less about him, any more than a person cares for a pair of pliers or a ball peen hammer. When Demorats praised Flake for his “bipartisanship,” that’s code for him being said useful tool.
Any time you hear a member of the LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats or American Media Maggots — utilize one or more of the words “bipartisanship,” “compromise” or “agreement” with regard to any Republican, that means they got their way and the GOP got hosed.
The other thing you must realize is that the “favor” almost never gets returned. Ever. Who, on the Demorat side, is the equivalent squish to Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or Bob Corker? There are no more Zell Millers or Joe Liebermans. JFK himself would be summarily drop-kicked from the current Demorat party.
As President Trump indicated, the Demorats were collectively larfing their arses off behind closed doors when Flake flaked. They are certainly sadder than Republicans to see Flake leave the Senate. But Flake is leaving because he knows there’s no way in hell he’s ever getting re-elected by pulling this shite.
Let’s go another direction. What does body language tell us about Brett Kavanaugh? Is he a liar? Who’s zooming whom? Who is placed more convincingly into the “believable” category? Kavanaugh or Ford?
What about another examination? Time to read Paul Ekman and Carl Stincelli?
Some might call this despicable. But once proffered onto Front Street, all is now fair. Ford and her lawyer opened the door. I’m simply walking through the door she herself opened.
This is interesting, from CNSNews.com:
No One Has Come Forward to Back Up Ford, Not Even the Person Who Drove Her Home
by Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) – Christine Blasey Ford, a psychologist who has been in therapy herself, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that she has vivid memories of the alleged attack, but not where or exactly when it happened.
In her opening statement, Ford said, “The details that — about that night that bring me here today are the ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.”
But again, no memories of any specificity whatsoever.
Mitchell asked her, “Would it be fair to say that somebody drove you somewhere, either to the party or home from the party?”
“Correct,” Ford said.
“OK,” said Mitchell. “Has anyone come forward to say to you, ‘Hey, remember, I was the one that drove you home?'”
“No,” Ford said.
But wait. Flake wasn’t just influenced by Soros Women. He met secretly with the Demorats as documented here by McClatchy.
“This is a better process”: Promise from Feinstein, Dems helped Flake with decision
by Kate Irby
WASHINGTON – Jeff Flake got the attention for being the driving force behind delaying a Senate vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. But it was backroom talks with Democrats that gave the idea the political fuel it needed.
Flake worked with Democrats Friday to craft the latest twist, a deal prompting the FBI to launch an investigation over Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
Flake and McCain: two political hacks who attached themselves like destructive remoras to the sides of swimming Republicans when, had they been honest and clear, would have declared themselves what they truly were: both Demorats.
The Senate timetable is now pushed back, as other key Republicans such as Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, aligned with Flake in calling for the investigation before they would vote to approve Kavanaugh.
The sudden deal was all due to some quiet, secretive backroom talks with Democrats, including top committee Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California..
“In an anteroom, back hall conversation, first with Sen. Flake, then with Sen. Feinstein and then with many other senators of both parties, there was a broad agreement that this committee has been too divided and too partisan in this process,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, told reporters.
We know enough about opened doors — which is why I also wrote this on Facebook:
Jeff Flake has single-handedly guaranteed that the Kavanaugh vote won’t occur until after the midterms — if at all. Here’s what will happen:
1) It won’t be “just a week” to conduct an FBI investigation on the Ford allegations. You have to be able to contact ALL relevant persons involved and that will be extremely difficult to do in such a limited time frame.
2) Once Demorats realize they can force an investigation of the Ford allegations, they will then:
3) Force an investigation of the Ramirez allegations, and then:
4) Force an investigation of the Swetnick allegations.
That will be WAY past the midterms. Demorats take the House or Senate on November 6th because not enough Republicans showed up at the polls? Game over.
Jeff Flake has managed to, as his final gesture, swive the entire GOP — with his ire aimed directly at President Trump.
I was apparently prescient because the FBI investigation has been expanded to include the Deborah Ramirez allegations. Just as I predicted.
FBI’s Kavanaugh Investigation To Include Ramirez’s Allegations
The investigation will also look into allegations made by Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a party when they were students at Yale University, according to the New York Times. Kavanaugh and the White House have denied those allegations.
When the Demorats sense blood in the water, like sharks they circle and sharpen their teeth.
People are bemoaning that there is no more civility left in DC. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree but with one major caveat: the incivility is on the part of Leftist Demorats.
What happened is remarkably similar to something that recently occurred to a friend of mine, who is now getting a divorce. All was generally “well” in the marriage for some years until my friend finally realized that, well, everything was unilateral.
When my friend began to insist that things shouldn’t be quite so one-sided, a major camshaft was thrown. All was well until my friend began to stand up and point out the obvious. There was actually no equality. Not a good recipe for success. But successful only on the part of the person being constantly catered-to. It was an awakening.
The same holds true for Leftists. They’ve been accommodated for years due, mainly, to the inability of Republicans to sack up and unify. Republicans generally lack commitment and testicles. As my goateed high school and civics teacher Mr Helms said back in the 1960s: “Demorats don’t win elections; Republicans lose them.”
Absolutely prophetic.
Mark my words. Demorats will push for more time and push for an investigation of the Swetnick allegations.
Why?
Because Republicans cave so readily.
UPDATED, MONDAY OCTOBER 1st:
White House authorizes FBI to expand Kavanaugh investigation: report
by Brett Samuels
The White House has reportedly permitted the FBI to interview anyone deemed appropriate in its investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The New York Times reported on Monday that the White House gave authorization to expand the investigation from an initial limited list of witnesses, provided that the review is completed by the end of the week.
The FBI has already spoken with the four individuals it had been given permission to speak to, the newspaper reported.
The Demorats are cheering with gusto right now.
Trump on Monday did appear to leave the door open to changing his mind about his nominee depending on the FBI’s findings this week.
“Certainly if they find something, I’m going to take that into consideration,” the president said. “I have a very open mind. The person that takes that position is going to be there a very long time.”
That’s today. There’s always tomorrow.
