Playbook: “The FBI has a tough job in the coming week. The investigation into Brett Kavanaugh is limited to ‘current credible allegations’ against the judge. But there seems to be a number of ways they can get crosswise with Democrats. For example: is the FBI going to probe Kavanaugh’s behavior at Yale? Is the investigation going to probe all allegations by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick? Who decides what is credible? There are endless ways people will be able to discredit the investigation as not thorough enough.”
“This probe is being done to mollify a handful of Republicans. The vast majority of Democrats were always going to vote against Kavanaugh. They are after Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Flake. And they only need two of the three.”
“And remember… This probe is not really a weeklong investigation. The vote on cloture could be Friday.”
