Flake Sees No Corroboration for Ford's Claims

[RandySF]

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), a key swing Republican vote, said that a new FBI report on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has failed to corroborate Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation of sexual assault against him, The Hill reports.

“Flake said there was nothing at all in the FBI’s supplementary background check to corroborate the claims from Ford that threw Kavanaugh’s nomination into turmoil starting last month.”

1. Oh for fuck's sake! He was just looking for an out

2. FBI Report: Official Toilet Paper.

[moondust]

3. Very selective interviewing will do that.

Post-interview editing, too!

[defacto7]

4. But that's not all that matters...

The investigation didn't include Ford, those who backed her up or other allegations of misconduct.

The FACT remains... He's not fit to be a judge for a vast number of other reasons.

There's blood on the hands of the GOP and the administration.

15. Senator Grassley, is that you?

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Exactly How Would They Find Corroboration?

They interview one or two slimy ex-preppies who say "i don't remember" and corroboration becomes impossible.

They are conducting a phantom investigation looking to prove the unprovable instead of investigating the lying under oath.

6. He's either calling Ford a liar or

calling the FBI report inadequate. It's either or, Sen Flake, you can't have it both ways.

7. The right wing male network is solidly intact

This theater we've been subject to is supposed to have the effect of depressing the Dem vote.

Well, our anger is greater than our sadness.

[Bob Loblaw]

8. Honestly

Does anyone who pays any attention really think Flake will vote no?

[Buffalo Soldier]

9. Reporter....please

Keep it simple...the claims from Ford (and the other Two accusers) is that a "highly intoxicated" teenage Kavenaugh committed a sexual assault. So please ask some simple but direct questions.

1. Was there any corroboration that teenage Brett was ever seen highly intoxicated in public?

2. Was there any corroboration that young Brett ever committed a sexual assault?


Stop with the "Here is breaking news...Senator X said this....then we all chase his rabbit down the hole they chose.

10. So what, Jeff?

You and other Republican Senators can still vote NO because:
1. Kavanaugh is an entitled SOB
2. Kavanaugh is a know partisan GOP operative.
3. Kavanaugh LIED REPEATEDLY UNDER OATH.

Doesn't this alone disqualify Kananaugh?

[LAS14]

22. Right on! nt

[OnDoutside]

11. Someone needs to pump up his backbone again....

[FromTheAshes]

13. Did it corroborate that he lied under oath? FUCKING FLAKE FUCK. nt

[dlk]

14. What About Kavanaugh's Many Lies Under Oath, Jeff?

[budkin]

16. Predictable bullshit is predictable

It was clear from the outset.

[Power 2 the People]

17. I guess Flake's crooked nose is metaphorically perfect.

[Thrill]

18. Any collaboration with Kavanaugh's?

[kwassa]

19. Flake flakes.

No surprise there.

[Vinca]

20. I hate to second guess the FBI, but amateur sleuths on the Internet have pretty much

identified the house. A knock on the door and a look at the floor plan might be in order. If the same family lives there, chances are the bed is still on the right side of the room. There are investigations and then there are "investigations." I'm afraid this was the latter. Flake just wants a reason to vote "yes." Why did they even bother???

[LAS14]

21. Yeah, and so what, Jeff! We didn't need the investigation to know...

... that Kavanaugh had demonstrated himself to be totally unfit for the court. I hope you take that into account. And, BTW, isn't saying even that much counter to the rules about sharing background check info? OK for Repugs, but not Dems??????

[DFW]

23. So Flake stays true to his name after all.

Right up until his retirement, he will push his phony "reasonable" image, and then continue to cast Trumpanzee votes in the Senate.
