we have to mention julia louis-dreyfus, a famous alum of the school. you wanted an independent investigation before the committee votes. do you really think that's going to make a difference? >> we do and we want to be consistent with dr. blasey ford's request which is what she has requested. this shouldn't be a resident pete of 1991. and i should note that another notable alum that we delivered the letter to yesterday is senator shelly mark capato. if you want to sign the letter, we're still taking signatures. >> and the blue lapel pin you're wearing that is school colors. >> yes. one of the alum made this and i'm wearing it today. >> president trump tweeted this morning about all of this, and for the first time there's been a lot of talk about how restrained the president has been not going after dr. blasey ford. he says now i have no doubt if the charges were as bad as she says, charges would have immediately been filed by either her or her loving parents. fair to point out though that there are a lot of reasons why women don't come forward
