deciding vote. i would note what republican senators have said all along, the reason they were averse to an investigation holds. the reason they did not want this is because it s pointless. the fbi does not come to conclusion, they do not make credibility determinations. they interview witnesses and hand over trips what is called 302s citing what it is witnesses have. we have that testimony. can they take that information, hand it over to those who can make judgment calls and discuss it further, saying hey, look, this is what the fbi uncovered, if there is anything to uncover. why who republicans in general be oppose just being armed with as much information as possible to completely repudiate the claims or to potential hold the judge accountable? because we already have that information. dr. ford and mr. kavanaugh before the senate yew dishary committee were sworn under oath. it is the same consequence to
met brett kavanaugh. that s directly contrary to what ms. ford said. like brett kavanaugh said, i believe something happened to ms. ford. my heart goes out to her, but we cannot smear an innocent man with no corroborating evidence, and refuted evidence, because all individuals say they were not there. we cannot smear an innocent man. we have due process in this country, and my hard goes out to ms. ford. it likewise goes out to judge kavanaugh. this process has been very dirty because of democrats. misford said in her opening statement on july 6th i had a sense of urgency. i wanted to get this information to the president, to the senate. that could have happened had dianne feinstein marched over to the white house and given this information to the white house and to the senate judiciary committee. she did not. in doing so she disrespected miss ford. not true. she didn t do it because dr.
lie to the senate as it is to lie to the fbi. both are under the penalty of perjury. we already have that information. i would know mr. kavanaugh has undergot six checks. these are extensive checks. i ve been a part of one. they extensive. they ask about their reputation, they ask about organizations they were involved with. judge kavanaugh has passed six of these already. but kayleigh, when there s just two dramatically different recollections of an encounter, whether it happened at all, doesant it warrants again, my question is why are republicans opposed to just having a little more time getting a bit more information? what s the problem with that? well, it s a duplicative effort. if democrats were so concerned about this fbi investigation, we could have a two-month-long investigation, had senator feinstein acted in good faith
comported himself and his demeanor, lack of dignity, speculative attacks on people, to me that s disqualifying. what you want in the supreme court, and we ve had people who have been appointed as conservatives, moved to the left, we have people who have been appointed as liberals, moved to the right on some issues. the point is you want someone who is thoughtful with an open mind and open heart. you saw somebody who just in my opinion doesn t belong on the court. i don t care what whatever else happens with dr. ford information and the question about a sexual assault. a person like that, he didn t even have the information to support the charges. how does he know that there was big left-wing money behind dr. ford? we know you saw her testimony, one of the things that was amazing is she doesn t have a political bone in her body.
keep his cool together. the way his partisan leanings, and the way he attacked democrats should completely disqualify him on that merit alone from being confirmed to the supreme court, but this is a very important thing to figure out exactly what happened, to try to collect as much information as we can. i d like to see the fbi the point you made about his potential impartiality, that s a discuss i will have with someone else until a bit. but back to you. will there be democrats who say, okay, we called for the investigation, the investigation happened, nothing was found and this is all a big if, but will democrats say, all right, now we will support this nomination? i don t think so, alex. i want to see what obviously what joe manchin decides, but i think there is enough information to this point that will cause a lot of democrats
