Subjected to hate mail and death threats. Our mod effort request is that she be given an additional day to make her decision, and i am so glad that debra katz has used the word bully to describe exactly what Chuck Grassley and all the republicans in the senate are trying to do, every republican senator has joined and supported Chuck Grassley in the bullying tactics that Chuck Grassley has been using well dr. Ford. The first deadline that he gave to Christine Blasey to agree to his terms, to the judiciary was 10 00 a. M. This morning. Nawaz her deadline, then he moved it to 5 00 p. M. Today, then he moved it to 10 00 p. M. Each time senator grassley did that, he did it in the media first. He announced it to the media before he announced it to communicated directly with dr. Fords lawyers. Senator grassley reached some compromises but refused some of dr. Fords request. They agreed that Brett Kavanaugh would not be in the room. But did not agree to her request that kavanaugh testify you fi
Fords lawyers have asked for one more day to make that decision. And theres no conceivable reason why they cant give her that one more day, but these are people who are fighting over wednesday instead of thursday next week, as if that makes any difference. And again what theyre using to bolster their argument is we dont want to delay anymore, we want it to be wednesday and not thursday. And we want to go. We want to do this. And if you say no, we will vote on this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court without ever hearing this allegation, without hearing from the accuser or any witnesses or anybody who might be able to cooperate or deny this story. That doesnt seem like a very strong place from which to push from the Senate Republican side, but thats where we are. Yeah, and they try to use normal juris prudential norms like the accuser goes first and then the person whos defending himself goes second, which is norm in jurisprudence. But every other norm in jurisprudence, they want
Were here at what was the 10 00 p. M. Deadline to tell the Judiciary Committee what she was going to do next week. And as youve reported dr. Fords lawyers have asked for one more day to make that decision. And theres no conceivable reason why they cant give her that one more day, but these are people who are fighting over wednesday instead of thursday next week, as if that makes any difference. And again what theyre using to bolster their argument is we dont want to delay anymore, we want it to be wednesday and not thursday. And we want to go. We want to do this.

Unredacted Mueller Report and all the underlying documents and information that is part of that. Add to that, subpoenas for documents for five former white house officials relevant to the mueller investigation. The committees chairman nadler was talking just moments ago. Lets play it. The Mueller Report probably isnt the total exoneration the president claims it to be. Any event the committee has a job to do. I want to go right now to nbcknbc kasie hunt. We expect this vote to go down in the next few minutes, we think, the republicans are working to slow up this process. There have been a couple delay tactics used by republicans that seem to be related to the spat from yesterday in the committee. Kind of politics as usual back and forth between the two sides. This has at times gotten a little bit fiery. Essentially republicans trying to make this all about jerry nadler. Theyre bringing up how he voted on releasing the star report during the clinton years. Hes insisting hes been consist
President obama. I trust you to choose what makes the most sense for you. Our team of correspondents and analysts are standing by the share our new reporting on this and other stories of the day. I want to start with Garrett Haake in houston. What are you hearing about the folks inside the campaigns . It seems Like Team Biden is fairly happy with how joe biden seemed to have done. Reporter i think thats right. Not a lot of shakeup among the top three, although there are some lower polling candidates who punched up. As for team biden, they were very pleased with the frontrunners performance last night. They felt like he was punchy and engaged throughout. He got dinged a little bit in the debate for making reference to a record player. He also had a very modern meme worthy answer on health care earlier in the debate. The idea of shes with bernie, im with barack, comparing and contrasting his vision on health care with Elizabeth Warrens. Its probably the cleanest distillation of where his
