a witness if they find him to be false in one thing. so the core of why we are here today really is credibility. the core of why we are here is the allegation of the four witnesses present said it didn t happen. tucker: false in one thing, false in many things. if you are senator blumenthal, can you even imagine saying something like that? what kind of lack of self-awareness would it take to say something like that? remarkable. underneath all of this, though, hung the most obvious question of the day, which nobody asked out loud. who did this to chrstine ford? democrats claimed they held the hearings for her. because they care deeply about herem well-being. it was democrats who leaked her name to press against her wishes and dragged her in the maelstrom. who did is that? likely someone in dianne feinstein s office. feinstein claims she was not involved.. she would like the presumption of innocence on that.. okay. so who was it?so if you care about chrstine ford, about all victims o
a tie when it comes to personal credibility. so how do you break the tie? i think one way is to look for corroboration. and he has much more corroboration on his side. now the best way to make sureat that corroboration is accurate is for the committee to call the other witnesses. and let the f.b.i. continue its background check. and i think in the end, it will do him more good than harm. tucker: now when we spoke yesterday, you said that you were concerned about the choice of rachel mitchell from maricopa county sex crimes investigation office inel arizona to speak on behalf of republican senators if they question chrstine ford. your point well, we have a clip.. i ll show you your point. sure. i see the greatest engine of truth ever invented used effectively, cross examination. i worry we don t have the right people. the woman hired to conduct theef
stories. what happens to people who have been accused of some horrifying sex crime falsely, the smoke clears and nobody asked them any other questions, what happens to their lives? it s a big problem. when your name is dragged through the mud, the national press, like my clients was, clients are faced withen a choi. they put out a lot of money and spend on lawyers to litigate to clear their names.ng finding lawyers who are willing to take on their case on a contingency basis and try to clear their name. and the hurdles that you have to overcome in a defamation claim and the plaintiff are incredibly high. dena romo to her credit, she was brave and she brought those claims and she hired us to litigate it pretty fiercely and we vindicated her reputation. but not all people who are dragged through the mud have the means to do that. tucker: the duke lacrosse
a friend, i had no idea that was within brett kavanaugh. neither did i, quite frankly. when he came in, i was like, whoa! he didn t even look like the kavanaugh i met through the years and he was going to take this over himself. tucker: so you are a law professor and you have met him a number of times. the legal community in d.c. at the high levels are pretty smal small. is there a debate on left or right about his legal qualifications for this job? no.nspe he is highly respected and lawyers give him high marks as an appellate judge.. this is very uncharacteristic for him. he is not known as someone who is emotive, or gets angry. it s the contrary. he has a reputation being polite and civil to everyone. this was a genuine moment or uncharacteristic one for him. tucker: i wonder, since you have watched the confirmation hearings going back so far, they once took place on the level of the
