Despite appearances Kavanaugh confirmation hangs purely with the Republicans. The one-week FBI investigation is now Mitch McConnell's call. He will agree to it if and only if he doesn't have the votes. He can afford to lose Jeff Flake, but he cannot spare another Republican.

He can agree but it's only in Trump's power as head of the Executive to be able to order the FBI to do something. The Senate cannot.

His statement to the press indicates he will give the extension. He also mentioned it in the past re a “short delay”

I don't know how you can order the FBI to keep an investigation within a one week timeframe. *shrug* maybe

Neither Swetnick nor Ramirez have corroboration for their claims. My concern is that more Dem smear merchants are in tap to add to the circus.

Coons even said - he can’t control the FBI or whether additional accusations come forward. I’m sure he didn’t say that when he cornered Flake before the vote.
