Flake says the FBI believed that Kavanaugh's investigation would be done in a week







Republican Senator Jeff Flake reiterated two things several times in New Hampshire tonight: he is not sure whether to run for president, nor is he sure of his vote for the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.





Interested in Supreme Court?

Add to the Supreme Court as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, videos and analysis from the Supreme Court of ABC News.



At least not yet.



Speaking before a very friendly crowd of politically intelligent New Hampshire residents at St. Anslem University, the Arizona senator said he planned to wait until the FBI returned with his updated background check to decide whether to vote for or against the confirmation of Kavanaugh.



Flake revealed that he urged a "complete" investigation, and the FBI, he said, had assured the senators that they could do their work in a week. He said the investigation needed some limits in its scope, however, to avoid encouraging more "unfounded" accusations, but that "hopefully it will focus on what still needs to be explored," he added.

Flake said he knew the research would not be perfect, but that it would be more "information to help guide our decisions." And he reiterated that it would be "disqualifying if [Kavanaugh] I lied to the committee.



When asked if he was thinking about the late Sen. John McCain, his former Arizona colleague, last week, when he initially requested the FBI investigation into the accusations against Kavanaugh, Flake did not hesitate to say "yes."



"John was always a mentor to me, he always talked about due process and regular order, I do not mean what he would have done, I thought the Senate needed more time," he said. "I was thinking of two institutions: the Senate and the court." He added that the court needed protection and that it is one of the last institutions that Americans trust.

Regarding the bullish and sometimes aggressive behavior that Kavanaugh showed during last week's hearings, as well as his references to partisan politics and Clinton's political machine, Flake said he thought the judge deserved a "margin for maneuver" given the circumstances and avoided commenting if he thought that the temperament shown by the judge was a problem for confirmation.



Most of Flake's prepared comments sounded similar to other speeches he had made in the past across the country and on the Capitol, which called for compromise and an end to "tribalism." He urged his colleagues to reach beyond their "tribe" and voter base.



"If it looks like I'm asking for a new policy, it's because I am, we just can not continue this way," he said.



"I am a proud, conservative and lifelong Republican, that does not make Democrats my enemies, the United States has too many real enemies to satisfy that nonsense," he said.



"Tribalism is ruining us, it's ruining us ... It's not a way for healthy adults to act ... The only tribe that any of us owes loyalty to is the American tribe," he said.



Like many in the crowd, Danielle Blais said she wanted to see the confirmation process of the Supreme Court slow down. He thanked Flake for his decision to demand an investigation before voting. "I appreciate what he did on Friday to stop what appears to be a railroad nomination in hell," he told ABC News before Flake began his speech.



Bruce Nest, of Nashua, New Hampshire, said Flake's move was a "true act of honor."



"We've been waiting for someone to take that leap and show what America is about, and finally, this man takes a step forward and he does it, I have to give it to him," he said. After listening to the senator's comments, Nest said that even though he was a Democrat, he would consider voting for Flake, if he were to run in 2020. "If we had 50 more like him in the Senate, we could make the country work again." .
