Because we have some totally spineless Republicans who are an embarrassment to the party, President Trump ordered an FBI investigation.
Statement from President @realDonaldTrump:
“I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week.”— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) September 28, 2018
"Whatever they think is necessary is OK," President Trump says of a potential delay to the Senate vote on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the US Supreme Court. pic.twitter.com/Qq8vfGaNwX

As stupid as this is, at least it’s not supposed to be drawn out. In, out, done. Don’t ask me WHAT they’re going to investigate specifically. Rachel Mitchell said herself that she couldn’t bring the case “anywhere near a court room.”
Whatever.
Kavanaugh put out a statement following the news of this investigation.
“I’ve done everything they have requested and will continue to cooperate.”

It just sucks that he has to endure this back and forth for another week. It’s so unfair to him and his family.
Meanwhile, Ford’s attorney released a statement. You’d THINK they’d be overjoyed. After all, this is what Democrats have been calling for. But is it good enough? NOPE. They have a problem with this being done in a timely manner. They want it drawn out.
Dr. Ford’s lawyer, Debra S. Katz, on FBI probe: "No artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation."

Further proof that Democrats will NEVER be satisfied.
What if not done in one week?
Flake: "It has to be done within a week or we move forward."
What if they don't produce a report in one week?
"I fully expect them to have a report." https://t.co/vMHmgUGWRZ— Michael Mathes (@MichaelMathes) September 28, 2018
Let’s hope.
