The insane is becoming the new normal. The justification for a new FBI probe is just extortion by Republican #nevertrumper Senator Jeff Flake giving cover for Murkowski and Collins to follow suit with the demand of an FBI investigation or they will all vote NO on Kavanaugh. Obviously this is a democrat tactic that Flake has either fallen for or has been complicit in the delay tactic. Flake knows the FBI does not draw conclusions as to guilt and the Senates judicial committee hearings should have been enough for a vote to be called, but Flake persisted…..and here we are.

In conducting a background check, the FBI does not draw a conclusion about a nominee’s suitability. If alleged misconduct is not the subject of a conviction or acquittal, the FBI does not make an assessment of guilt or innocence. To do these things would be to usurp the constitutional role of the Senate — it is the Senate, not the FBI, that decides whether a nominee is fit for the responsibilities of the office to which he is nominated.

Moreover, the FBI did not exist until it was created by statute at the start of the 20th century, meaning the Senate was quite capably vetting judicial nominations for over a century before there was an FBI.   here…..
