Give thanks to Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher due to their bravery.
Archila and Gallagher confronted Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in a lift the other day, and that confrontation shook-up the entire confirmation procedure. Afterwards, Flake, after a personal conversation with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), insisted that the Senate Judiciary Committee get President Trump to order a new FBI probe of Kavanaughâalbeit amazingly limited in scope and timeframe. Submitted to the Senate last night, it wasn’t a genuine and complete examination, just a supplemental back ground probe and a small number of interviews. It actually was much, much, not even close to full. It absolutely was unfairly constrained both in some time scope. It really is been already denounced as a sham and a whitewash by Democrats in Congress. Nevertheless the Senate Judiciary Panel
was
stopped in rushing to a vote without getting any FBI report certain to intimate misconduct accusations. And they two ladies performed that. Regardless of the ultimate end result on Kavanaugh, stand using them and thank all of them.
