Flake flakes against the flake?

[Tyche]

OH SHIT! We're getting an FBI investigation.

Hatch looks like hes about to vomit

[Yabby]

Nope, looked like a yes to me

[Fiye]

11 - 10 Flake yes

[kuronosan]

No, they're sending him to the floor.

I wonder if those women ambushing Flake in the elevator had anything to do with his change of heart

But...Trump would have to order it, right?

[Salodin]

That woman at the elevator changed Flakes mind. Holy fucking shit. That clip will live on forever.

Passes the committee, Flake apparently a No on full confirmation unless there's an FBI investigation.

[kuronosan]

They're withholding their floor vote pending investigation. That's what Flake is saying.

[Cail]

Flake looks really fucking distressed

[Katlan]

Flake calling for an FBI investigation

YESSSSSSS

[kuronosan]

But realistically it won't matter, because McConnell and Trump will just shoe it all forward anyway.

[Tyche]

I think Flake is saying that he will move it out of committee, but leaving an opening to vote no if they don't proceede with an FBI investigation. Which will also open things up for Collins and Murkowski.

[Zealot]

Actually I have to wonder if Republicans will go forward knowing that something could come from the investigation.

[Zealot]

I'm gonna predict a 50-50 split and Pence sends Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
