and yes, there were parties and the drinking age was 18, and yes the seniors were legal and had beer there. and yes people might have had beer on too many occasion. and i think all of us have done things we look back on high school and would rather cringe a bit. drinking age was 18 he says when he was a senior. he s reported to have done an awful lot of drinking before that. the idea he might have had to mean beers, in his high school yearbook his stated ambition is 100 kegs. he s in the group of boys who want to consume 100 kegs of beer senior year and may have succeeded doing it. if brett kavanaugh is going to be reckless enough to understate his drinking when the evidence
it s gone in every judicial nomination that s come to this committee probably going back to the senatoreselen in the 1960s. where there are matters of this importance there s process of referring this back to the fbi to fully investigate, reviewing any witnesses that might be relevant and put it in a file and present it back to the senate. that s what a full and thorough and fair investigation would involve. it wouldn t involve the sort of kangaroo court senator grassly is trying to construct. they outsourced the choosing of it to the federal society. they apparently have outsourced the communications to a grassly staffer who is working with a firm, that s been working with the judicial crisis network to run ads with mysterious special interests backing kavanaugh. now they want to outsource the questioning of this hearing to
so, my friends, keep the faith. don t get rattled by all of this. we re going to plow right through it and do our job. they are rattled, make no mistake about it. they are trying to sound confident, but every day that passes is bringing new trouble for the kavanaugh nomination including what michael avenatti claims is more evidence that will come out within the next two days, evidence from a woman who michael avenatti is describing, as you heard previously in this hour, as a witness and a victim. a victim of what could be possible rape scenarios during what appears to be the high school years. we re going to wait for the details of that to come out as michael avenatti promises they will. if republicans were actually confident, they would not be sending brett kavanaugh to do an interview on fox news. supreme court nominees never do
that is very significant let s slow this down sentiment from the senator. and i think it s a legitimate one because, you know, we don t have to go through months of investigation. we don t have to go through weeks of investigation. but we are going to go through a lifetime of brett kavanaugh on the supreme court if he s confirmed and we should do the work that s needed to make sure that the right decisions are being made with the necessary information. ruth marcus, lisa graves, thank you both for joining us tonight. and when we come back, will donald trump fire rod rosenstein on thursday? on thursday?
and if anyone has been paying attention over the last six to seven months, they know that i do not traffic in nonsense or rumor. i utilize facts and evidence. and this woman will prove to be credible, and she is believable, and we are hopeful that the committee will launch an fbi investigation forthwith. we have also asked she be permed to take a polygraph examination, which she s agreed to do provided that brett kavanaugh does the same. and we have yet to hear back from the committee on a host of issues that i raised over 10 hours ago. john heilemann, how do you suppose that interview landed in the white house and chuck grassly s office tonight? you know, first with a big, loud thud and then sort of with a kind of like shock to the solar plexus of all those folks. look, i mean i think that you as
