Dem Sen. Klobuchar praises Jeff Flake, says 'you can do a lot in a week if you have the whole FBI'

As we told you earlier, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to forward to the full Senate the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. However, GOP Sen. Jeff Flake requested a delay in the final Senate vote for a week to allow time for an investigation. Committee Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar praised Flake:

Sen. Klobuchar also seemed optimistic that not only would the FBI investigate, but that they could get it done within a week:
