independent counsel. and they refused to read it. not one democrat would read it. ed: so final question. what do you want all of these years later? what would be justice for you? justice would be for me to have an investigation. if they re going to go back 35 years, 36 years for christine ford, they ought to go back 39 for me. and i would like to see, if they can if it can be proved that this happened, i would like to see president clinton perks as a former president removed. he receives millions from our tax dollars every year. i d like to see those stripped. ed: juanita brodrick, thanks for coming in. thank you. ed: okay. we want to go to a fox news alert. lisa murkowski from alaska, speaking out on the senate floor. we want to dip in real quick. been damaged, damaged terribly.
everything is really balanced on a knife s edge here, and we, again, want to underscore that the only people that matter are jeff flake, susan collins, lisa murkows murkowski, potentially joe mansion depending on how this breaks. those are also people who have been trying to basically avoid the cameras. senator collins has dealt with threats as of late. she had to be escorted from the capitol in a police car. we are waiting and watching. we re going to hear from the democrats at 11:00 at a press conference. down here is where jeff flake normally walks through. we haven t seen as much of him lately. we will keep you posted with any new developments. i understand senator menendez was out here talking about this as well. i think we can play that. in fact, the reports that dr. ford has not been interviewed and judge kavanaugh has not been interviewed, and the individual that dr. ford might have offered as corroboration for some of her
fbi report. i took this pass through the basement of the capitol, through the visitors center and came out on the house side. that s where i talked to her about 1 1/2 hours ago. she says that she has not yet made a decision. she does say that it is decision time. what we think the math is right now, at a minimum, mitch mcconnell will get 50 votes in this nomination. if he gets collins, jeff flake, maybe lisa murkowski. if he s 50/50, the president have break a tie. never has a vice president broken the tie. is that your not talking about joe manchin. he s not going to be the 51st vote. he signalled yesterday that he might be leaning in that direction, but we re not sure, shep. shepard: if it s a done deal, it s a possibility again. he s in the skiff still looking at this. chad, stay with us, if you could. we re going to follow the demonstrations. the arrests appear to be
murkows murkowski. she says she s not made a decision and did not comment. democrats are crying foul saying their fears have been realized. the investigation not comprehensive. not enough people interviewed. the process limited and incomple incomplete. keep this in mind the way this works is true to form and by the book. the white house ordered the investigation. the white house set the boundaries and the parameters and the fbi set it out as ordered. that s how all background investigations of this kind work in america. the senate judiciary committee dianne feinstein said what is most notable is what is not in it. it now appears they blocked the fbi from doing their job. democrats agreed that the investigation scope should be limited. we do not agree that the white house should tie the fbi s
to your question. shepard: top republicans giving just brett kavanaugh their full confidence and in a sometimes fiery news conference on capitol hill. i m shepard smith. the big news this afternoon is this. two key republican senators have signals they are satisfied with the fbi report on the sexual assault allegations against judge kavanaugh. and if each of those two ends up voting for the president s supreme court nominee, kavanaugh confirmation assured, victory for the white house and game over for the democrats. senator jeff flake of arizona says after reviewing the report on the investigation, he does not see any additional evidence to back up dr. christine blasey ford s claims and senator susan collins of maine says the report seems to her very thorough. but the two did not say specifically how they plan to vote. the third gop critical player is the senator from alaska, lisa
