attempt to manipulate the star investigation with the information he had from the paula jones case. and, so, i know what i know. he has a set of alternative facts. and lastly to you, david brock, you say here that any senator that cares about the country should vote no on brett kavanau kavanaugh. what i think it is, my piece is not about his views. one can have a debate about what his views are. my piece is about his behavior and it s about his character. and i think on that basis, behaving as a political partisan while a prosecutor, while he s supposed to be a dispassionate arbiter of facts, acting as a partisan warrior. the same with the jones case. i think it is a pattern. i think it shows really poor behavior for what you would want in a supreme court justice. that s why i say vote no.
