them questioning her, right? i m perfectly fine what am i afraid of? i m not saying you personally. i trust the senators to do this professionally. what i do wonder if that s the case that you don t trust them to do it professionally but it s their job. it is their job. they also have the ability to surrender those questions over to someone who has expertise in this area. they do. what i do wonder, will the democrat democrats be able to resist the temptation to go overboard on brett kavanaugh s sexual history? that s a fair question, absolutely. but here is the problem, too. before we left the last segment, we talked about how there was an fbi investigation, because george h.w. bush asked for one in 1991. and now we re here in 2018 and we re not even getting that. orrin hatch says she is mixed up. we have four people at the party strongly denying it. i don t have a problem with of course they re going to deny it. nothing happened to them that night. nothing
credibility. exactly. not saying anything other than she is calli ining for it to public. she is saying this is her duty as a citizen to come forward and i think she is credible and will tell her story. i don t think we re doing it the right way. to your point, this issue about why the rush, fierce rush to get this done in this short amount of time and republicans will say, of course, it s because we want to get it over with before the election. right? the election is almost six weeks away. there is plenty of time. if they had launched an fbi investigation last week, it might have even been done by now. exactly. this thing could be over in two or three days. the anita hill investigation was over in two or three days. let s all agree here that none of us know dr. ford and know if this is true or not. as i look at it, as a republican, i think that kavanaugh will come out of this okay. we also have to learn lessons from this as republicans, one of
have never been asked before of any nominee at this point. i probably asked this of 100 nominees. i ask this of both men and women, the same two questions. we need to change the kind of environment that says women who and men who suffer from this kind of trauma are not in a supportive environment where they can come forward. when you think about it, this is very underreported. why? often the victims and survivors, when they come forward, they re not believed. they re villified. all the things that have happened. shelden whitehouse told me this week if democrats win back the senate and the house there will be an investigation against kavanaugh even if he is a sitting supreme court justice. does that set the stage for an attempt potential impeachment of kavanaugh? frankly i have such questions
handed over to the senate judiciary committee. the president ordered the fbi to do that investigation because the chairman of that committee joe biden called the then white house counsel c. borden gray and demanded an fbi investigation and the republican white house counsel immediately agreed, of course, that there should be an fbi investigation. the trump white house counsel don mcgahn is now the man shepherding the kavanaugh nomination through the senate. he is at brett kavanaugh s side every minute of it day, but don mcgahn is now c. boyden gray. donald trump doesn t know what an fbi investigation is so we still don t have an fbi investigation. well, it would seem that the fbi doesn t really do that. they ve investigated
about this name named michael flynn. brett kavanaugh has taken up that space. and between now and december 18th we re going to get all sorts of interesting filings which prosecutors will tell us how much he has cooperated. so between now and when he gets sentenced we re about to learn a lot about how flynn has factored in this case. which should be interesting in terms of understanding where mueller is his team are at. we ve now embarked most of an hour discussing the lies the members on the senate judiciary committee are trying to sell. well, tonight the senate judiciary committee are trying to bully. they are worse an the terms that
