Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who earlier indicated that he would vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, has reversed his position. Flake now demands for another FBI investigation into Kavanaugh’s past. Apparently the six Kavanaugh has already endured over his long career in the federal government do not suffice to confirm a judge of heretofore unquestioned integrity.
What Flake hopes another FBI investigation will produce is anybody’s guess, as FBI investigations do not yield conclusions. Former Vice President Joe Biden put it succinctly 27 years ago, the last time Democrats made a circus and national disgrace out of the judicial confirmation process. “The next person who refers to an FBI report as being worth anything obviously doesn’t understand anything,” Biden explained. “FBI explicitly does not, in this case or any other case, reach a conclusion, period. Period.” So how would a seventh FBI investigation into the past of Brett Kavanaugh turn out?
