(CNN) President Donald Trump ordered a limited, week-long FBI probe of the allegations against his Supreme Court pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, at the request of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday. It was a 180-degree turn from his previous statements about making such a move.
After the initial accusations against Kavanaugh from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford emerged nearly two weeks ago, the White House touted what was described as a "very thorough" background check process by the FBI, citing the six previous pristine investigations as evidence the confirmation process should move ahead. And asked multiple times whether he would order the FBI to reopen its investigation, Trump suggested that the FBI "doesn't do that."
But on Friday, amid threats by key Republican Sen. Jeff Flake and growing uncertainty that Kavanaugh would have enough votes for confirmation, the Senate stalled the process to allow a probe into the allegations. Following the committee's vote, Trump cast a more deferential tone.
"I will be totally reliant on what Sen. [Chuck] Grassley and the group decides to do," he said of an additional investigation Friday during an Oval Office meeting with the Chilean President.
"Whatever they think is necessary is OK," he added, ordering the investigation hours later.

I have a prediction, a prophecy even. The FBI will find nothing and the Republicans will vote him into the Supreme Court. Soon, you'll be calling me Jesus and asking me to heal your dysfunctional children. I HAVE SPOKEN

Kavanaugh knows the FBI will find some nasty tidbits in their investigation. I predict he will bail, rather than have the investigation made public.
All the FBI needs to do is call in Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's pal, and he will spill his guts rather than face a lying to federal investigators charge.

Nope.
Trump is merely giving the Dems what they need to calm them to the point that theyll have no choice but to finally go down for their nap.
