there have been huge protests outside her senate office. she has been spending most of her time in her hideaway office and a place where the press can t reach her and why you see all of these cameras lined up outside this hearing room. we all know that senator collins is the chairwoman of this committee. there will be a hearing at 9:30. everybody is lined up hoping to grab her and ask her questions when she walks in this room in just about 30 minutes. she is going to be asked about where she stands on the judge kavanaugh vote and also likely going to be asked about what she thought about what president trump said at that rally last night. another critical swing vote here, republican senator jeff flake called those comments appalling. there are a lot of questions about, you know, if what president trump said last night, if that could have a real impact on how these three critical republican senators flake, collins and murcowski, could have an impact on how they vote. now, in terms of ti
he is a good man but he should follow his heart but i hope he takes his brain with im. bill: he suggested based on the f.b.i. report he would have to see who they chose to interview. that s up to jeff. bill: we reached out to try to get a clarification. it sounds like the f.b.i. reports may not be sufficient enough for him based on that answer today on nbc. well, we agreed to delay things at senator flake s suggestion, senator collins and murcowski and i m sure not criticizing them for making the suggestion. they said look, we ll have a finite investigation by time. a week s worth. and we will ask the f.b.i. to investigate credible allegations and we all understood it was to be a week. now, if senator flake wants another week that s his right. i m not going to impugn his motives but it is time to vote. if senator flake wants to vote
mean it. some of my colleagues on the democratic side are in good faith. some i m convinced i could be convinced and rapidly being convinced don t have a soul. how did i put it, their mothers didn t breast feed them. they went to raw meat. right to raw meat. they don t care who gets destroyed, dr. ford, her confidentiality, her family, they don t care with brett kavanaugh gets destroyed, his reputation. their whole mantra is just win, baby, do whatever it takes. bill: we have struck a nerve. and that s wrong. bill: you said some democrats will vote for him. which ones? i m not going to predict. i have some suspicions but that is just my own personal feelings. bill: on the republican side is jeff flake in or not, susan collins, murcowski? i don t know what senator flake to do. i won t tell him what to do.
murcowski and collins and sandra: when could this all come back to capitol hill? we re hearing that this f.b.i. investigation could return to capitol hill as early as today. it would be a very fast timeline but we re hearing that it could happen. these f.b.i. agents have been working around the clock to try to meet the deadlines. democrats on capitol hill keep continuing to try to expand the scope of the investigation. i believe nothing about this investigation until i actually see that the f.b.i. is talking to those 25 witnesses on the list i compiled. expanding the scope of this investigation means we re going from 4 to 6 witnesses. that ain t good enough for me.
we hear this from here and there. we have to get back, i think, directly to what s going on, the f.b.i. investigation, what professor ford had to say. what judge kavanaugh had to say and what the f.b.i. can determine. bill: if that s the case why not look at keith ellison in minnesota? this woman has a claim of abuse. she said she has a video and she hasn t produced that video of any kind of effort and people have taken a look and groups like now and others have said they are not comfortable and want further investigation. but i think that a lot of this is pulling us away from the difficult task of trying to understand what s going on with the supreme court. bill: i can appreciate that. i know mitch mcconnell is watching the gang of three. who knows what comes of this? flake and murcowski and collins. but they are getting the attention. and we could have a rap on this f.b.i. investigation according to mcconnell as soon as tomorrow. if that s the case you barrel
