to justice kavanaugh s rescue. how do you read that? because that s what he asked the justice department to do last fall. he asked them to hide the documents from the white house and the george w. bush white house and he s asking for them to do it again. it worked once from his perspective. so to conservatives who would say that groups like yours and other activists are working to in their view smear justice kavanaugh because you don t like where he sits and his position on the extreme court, how do you respond to that? we don t like the process that republicans allowed to happen. they had an opportunity to call for the truth, to get to the bottom of the allegations. if they didn t think there was anything real to it, why have the fbi rush to such a short investigation. mitch mcconnell kept the supreme court seat for open one year after justice ska leah passed away. he didn t want the truth to come out and now the republicans are reaping what they so heed. christopher from dema
possible allegations. now here we are. the fact that the woman may have been drunk and not remembered the incident in particular doesn t mean it didn t happen. it doesn t mean that there weren t witnesses who have come forward to say that it happened. now we need to take a look and have the fbi examine not only this but the deb bra ra mirror iz allegation. i think one of the aspects of this new reporting is that seven people have come forward to corroborate that. so should house democrats move forward with impeachment proceedings against supreme court justice brett kavanaugh? absolutely. we ve been calling on house democrats to take action since april to look into the sham kavanaugh confirmation process. we think they need to get to the hundreds of thousands of documents that were hidden and get to the bottom of hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that mysteriously disappeared and get to the bottom of the sexual assault allegations and into the fbi investigation which clearly
situation. we ll see how it continues to play out. and whether it was a statement that they made and if they move on from it. you ll stay on top of it. great interview, thank you for bringing it to us here. i appreciate it. with me former deputy counsel to president obama. christopher, thanks for being on set with us. a lot to talk about. you have some candidates that point out that often groups like yours will say believe the victim and in the instance of this new allegation it was made by a male classmate, friends of the alleged victim or student is saying she does not actually recall what happened. when there was an opportunity for a real investigation, brett kavanaugh could have stood up and said my integrity is so important, i demand the fbi complete a full and exhaustive investigation. instead he allowed the white house to curtail the fbi and they didn t look into other
clarification that they didn t roll back the story completely, but rolled back fundamental element of that story. here in south carolina you ll have four of the presidential candidates speaking. we ll see if it comes up on the stump or if they focus on other issues. we know that that impeachment word is a word that not all the candidates like to get into. they try to avoid it, talking about different issues like health care or education. we ll see how much that comes up on the stump later today. you know who is not a vading it is tom steyer, who i guess this morning is saying that he does believe that there should be impeachment proceedings against kavanaugh. that s exactly right. he released that statement. and there was one statement from bernie sanders and he said he supports the constitutional method to a addressing this. he didn t use the word impeachment, but if you look at the constitution he was suggesting taking impeachment and taking that route. so it s a divide that s in
justice brett kavanaugh. do you agree with the president? god, no. again, that s not shocking, hallie, that the president of the united states again demanding that his justice department go after his political enemies. he tweeted this morning that barack obama s book deal ought to be investigated. using the government to demand that they go after his political enemies, hallie, that s what a would-be dictator does. former congressman joe walsh, i appreciate you being back on the show. coming up, the drugmaker accused of fuelling the opioid crisis. dozens of states are refusing to settle with per due. the potential for a multi-million dollar courtroom showdown soon.
