CNN’s Avlon: Dems Have To Be Careful About Moving the Goalposts Because Then It About Blocking Kavanaugh

EXCERPT:

AVLON: "But I think it's also important we're fair here. A lot of the complaints of senators, particularly on the Democratic side of the aisle, were why not have an FBI investigation? There were 72 hours under the Bush Administration when George H.W. Bush got the FBI to look into the allegation on Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. There were parallels, they're adults, they worked for the federal government. This was invoked as the standard and this was the thing recommended by the ABA and the option taken by largely GOP senators to try to de-escalate this and get to search the truth. I think while transparency from the White House is paramount to preserve the integrity of this process, I think we also need to be careful about Democrats sort of moving the goalposts here and saying actually this isn’t enough. Because then all of a sudden it appears, God forbid this to be so, that it really is about blocking the Kavanaugh appointment outright rather than getting to the truth."
