Susan Collins, one of a handful of Republicans who will determine the fate of Mr Kavanaugh, said an FBI probe into his background appears to have been “a very thorough investigation”.
Shortly afterwards, Jeff Flake, another Republican whose vote has been in question, said “we’ve seen no additional corroborating information”, against the 57-year-old judge.
THE STORY
CNN’s Jeremy Herb caught up with Senator Susan Collins, a crucial swing vote, after the senators briefing on the FBI report.
Sen. Susan Collins, a crucial swing vote, after a briefing on the FBI’s Kavanaugh report: It “appears to be a very thorough investigation.” Collins also indicated she would read the report in full later today, CNN reported.
Jeff Flake says there is “no evidence” in FBI report against Brett Kavanaugh.
This is a great sign. These two critical fake-Republicans appear ready to side with the Republicans.
CNN’s Manu Raju reports that this comment from Collins is “hugely significant” as it suggests that she is satisfied with how this investigation went, making it clear she’s siding with the Republicans on that key question about whether or not this investigation was done thoroughly and completely.
“She believes it has,” Raju just said. “Now, what does that mean for her vote? We don’t have final answer on that yet.”

All poll signs indicate that this smearing of Judge Kavanaugh backfired. The House polling shows Republicans are within the 2% margin.
SMEAR MERCHANTS
True to form, Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein wanted to move the goal posts and are very unhappy that the probe wasn’t longer.
i do not believe a single word Jeff Snowflake says. .
Flake put himself right in a Schumer Conspiracy scheme gone bad, hope he was smart enough to not leave a paper trail, or money trail… The conspiracy began with Schumer’s statement only minutes after the Kavanaugh announcement … “with all my power I will stop this nomination [at any cost even the cost of degrading the Senate] … Obama had this mapped out along time ago. They should have never went for the FBI investigation when the Dems have hurt the FBI as much as they have … The Dems are all bottom feeders.
“The Dems are all bottom feeders…”…in a latrine!!!
Senator Kennedy puts it bluntly: “There is no corroboration.” Tells reporters he “really wishes” we could see the report. “There are things in here that really make me angry.”“The whole report, you can stand on it and paint the ceiling.”
Of course, being ‘pols’, who have few morals, these two will extract their ‘pound of flesh’ for their vote, rather than merely “doing the right thing”… as they should have done when this farce first began.
