why would it have not come out before now? why would someone not have called law enforcement? these were her words. the contrast here is brett kavanaugh s own words about his what he was like in high school and now going into his college years and what certain others are saying about him. in his interview on fox news, as everyone probably has heard by now, he said it again and again, i was an upstanding student and i cared about young women, essentially i was a choir boy. all right, kate, thanks very much. i know you ll continue to cover this. there are details that are working on getting. to analyze what we do know, let s bring in former federal sex crimes prosecutor cynthia alsny. there are a couple of things in this declaration that are interesting and i want to read, in approximately 1982 i became the victim of one of these gang or train rapes where mark judge and brett kavanaugh were present.
person at the white house who would call the person at the department of justice and it would be done lick ety split. thank you for joining me. this just in. senator lindsey graham in the halls of the senate answering questions about the accusations against brett kavanaugh. let s listen to him in his own words. i am very suspicious of this coming out two days before the confirmation vote. i m very suspicious of michael avenatti. i ve been a prosecutor, a judge, a defense attorney. here s what i think. if you re a serial rapist in high school he s not bill cosby. he s led an incredible life. everybody says he s very respectful. here s what i think. if you went to a party once where people are being drugged and gang raped, you wouldn t go to the next one. you would tell somebody. you have an obligation if you
democratic senators be asking questions of the people who are being questioned? it s unclear as of yet and it s unclear the timelines and what exactly is going to go forward tomorrow because this isn t a rules of evidence situation. this is whatever the senate agrees upon situation. and, even the witnesses coming before it have significant bartering power. the fact that this is a situation right now doesn t mean it will be the same in a couple of hours or even tomorrow morning. that s something we need to watch for. you talk about the prosecutor, mitchell. my sources in arizona tell me that she is very highly regarded. she s very victim sympathetic and a reasonable prosecutor, but i will say this, that no matter who the lawyer is, lawyers always have a mission in cross-examining you made this point the other day. this is really interesting. yeah. a lawyer s mission, as you said, is not necessarily to get to the truth. it s not at all. whenever a witness is on the stand, you
