The vote is scheduled for 10-3 on the Senate floor. The only thing Flake was saying is he would support a narrow-scoped 1 week FBI investigation prior to the actual confirmation vote. Grassley can't make that rule, that would be up to McConnell since he is Senate majority leader and I doubt he will go for that.

True, and now we have a carrot to dangle for those witch hunters to chole themselves on. In the end the media will twist this when he is cleared that he was not cleared by a facts but by shot clock run out. Hope this does not delay the 10/3 presidential alert.
Leadership should reflect the will of the people. The media did a great job turning all my surrounding citizens into buying the notion that If there is nothing to hide then let the investigation take place to clear his name. They care not about the victimization of the accused nor the incredible waste of resources to do it. But I will be damned if nearly all my peers are not unanimous in the belief. A week delay now in my mind is critical to the events that must rapidly unfold. However remember this. Even if voted out, the elected leaders stay in place through the remainder of the year. He will be confirmed, regardless. I respect him for likely representing his constituants despite my person feelings regarding the decision

Correct. Now it's up the McConnell and the prez to inform RINOs of the info that the NSA has on them. Better get in line, RINOs.

Yep! Get in line and listen up good. If you want to go down with a sinking ship, that can easily be arranged. So you might want to think long and hard before casting your vote.

But not Too Long. It shouldn't really be That hard.

Exactly this. I think it's why Flake played ball with the Republicans (and why he's resigning). He's not /our guy/ but he definitely knew what he was doing, and he was the best one to do it because the Dems could easily believe he might side with them.

He may be resigning officially but he is on the catch and release list.
