he has was not going to let them get under his skin. neil: it is almost the curse of having i did not mean to call him old, experienced iowa farmer. neil: he has quite a paper trail. almost too much of one which can go the other way. that gets in the way, too. 309 published opinions. a half dozen law review articles. over 100 speeches were everywhere it was recorded verbatim. i m talking about speeches to law schools and legal groups. not political, but serious, in-depth discussions of the law. everything that they want to know about him is out there. if they can create the suspicion or the fear at the white house is hiding something about him, then they can attack the process and that she ends up their base even though they know he will lose, and confirm. stu and the democrats are guaranteed no vote except in
all these law review articles and come to this room and clam up. don t want to talk about any issues. but that s what i expect. instead we will ask that if you are confirmed you will have an open mind and follow the law. i would like to trust you, but i agree with ronald reagan. trust, but verify. i wanted to trust you the last time you testified, but after you were confirmed, reports surfaced that contradicted your sworn testimony before this committee. you said under oath, the following. i was not involved and am not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants. but later, just a week or so ago, you acknowledged thaw were involved. for 12 years you could have apologize and corrected this record, but you never did. you and supporters announced to
rob: the other side will say there s still thousands of pages that they haven t seen. well, you know, i m not an expert on the documents. my understanding that the documents that have been held back have been held back because of executive privilege and every president has right to invoke in appropriate circumstances, i can tell you that as part of this confirmation process, more documents have been provided, more documents have been publicly released and for any nominee in history, like i said, judge kavanaugh unlike other nominees has long judicial record and so everything you need to know about judge kavanaugh s record is layed out there in opinions, he s written 9 law review articles, he s written 910-page book on law of precedent with distinguished federal judges, there s really so much out there in the public record already. people should be able to look at that and make up minds. jillian: omar martínez thank you for your insight this morning.
that the votes are there to confirm judge kavanaugh. i m going to do my job. i sit on judiciary. my job is to ask them tough questions and i m going to do that. sandra: what are your questions for him? i m not going to tell you because then he ll have time to prepare ahead of time. he is smarter than me, i read most of his materials, particularly his law review articles and i have no doubt he ll be able to answer them. the guy is a first-class intellect who knows what his judicial philosophy is and he s going to be prepared to defend it. sandra: how do you think this all will turn out? will democrats plans to stop this fail? will he ultimately be confirmed? yes. i think their plans will fail, i think think you will be confirmed and i predict that he will receive at least two democratic votes in all republican votes and may be more votes. based on what i ve seen, and i m going to do my job now, based on what i ve seen it, i like what i
investigation, particularly the russia collusion part that is by now obvious. you only can investigate an innocent man so long. see, if the guy didn t commit the bank robbery and you think he did and you keep investigating him, you re going to do it forever. you re going to keep coming up with cohens. i understand. we have due process. i understand all that but the investigation isn t done yet. and you know how long these things take. yes it is. if they re looking at his tweets, the investigation is done. we re going to do obstruction by tweet on a president of the united states as an article of impeachment? go read the law review articles about that. it s laughable. it s scary. so is the investigation over? as rudy giuliani says? joining us cnn legal analyst anne milgram and garrett graph, author of the threat mate trick, inside the war on global terror. the assertion that the investigation is over, it s something frankly the trump team has been saying now for quite some time. i
