so when we get to next week, i believe this helps the judge as much as it does with the accusers involved because if they can t corroborate it he deserves that disclosure. and if they can get judge at a minimum, he says he wants to cooperate, it s through his lawyer, if that s true it doesn t have the same value that others do in terms of what happens if you re lying. if he ll talk to them under penalty of law and tells them what he knows and what he doesn t, i think that would go a long way. but at the end of the day if this comes back uncorroborated, are you okay and do you believe that would mean no more on this point and whatever you feel about the judge s jurisprudence is fair game? i think it s unlikely that it s going to come back with the fbi saying dr. ford was lying and brett kavanaugh was telling the truth. i think we would have seen mark judge willing to testify on behalf of his friend if that
rush to judgment with so much hanging in the air and over the head of the nominee. and then the sunshine of compromise and common ground. you could almost see teddy and john smiling down on their colleagues and their consternation. all of the sudden, you hear senators coons and flake, from different parties, very different pages when it comes to kavanaugh s fitness, but they both saw this process as what it was lacking. so then something happened. atypical, without being forced, not because there was a quid pro quo, flake used his all-important vote to do something just because he thought it was right. to be fair to the allegations, to the accusers, and to the judge, let s remove this specter of unknown about the allegations and have the fbi investigate. amen. but just like the darkest before
here. what this is and what this is not, not a criminal investigation, right? so what s the reasonable look at what they re going to do? so the fbi doesn t typically investigate sexual assault violations, chris, that s a state crime. montgomery county, maryland, would normally handle that. because this is part of the investigation or a background investigation for judicial nominee, the fbi would have purview over this. we know judge kavanaugh has been part of six of these. they ve been asked to take part in a supplemental investigation in this. they can go back and ask the same questions they asked before and anything out of the senate judiciary committee they can raise those hands, go talk to people that are brought up. mark judge is one of those people they want to talk to. look at the forensic things and try to get to the bottom whether or not this is truly an issue. guilt or innocence? no. they don t determine the veracity. they will not interview somebody and say this person
fbi under comey torpedoed hillary clinton s campaign and was politicized. as you know, chris, i have history and lineage that goes back to the fbi probe. i think the fbi most fbi officers and individuals are heroes and do god s work. we all agree the fbi is not god. stipulated. they should try to ascertain how correct ford s testimony is. and if they can do that in any way that makes sense within their purview including the therapist notes which are not always easy to get. if they re made available because ford wants to be as helpful as possible, fine. in terms of looking at the leak, the leak was a bad thing. that s not going to change your mind whether or not you vote for kavanaugh. not that that doesn t have its
it s about the integrity of the supreme court. i m not asking about ramirez alleges because you were her roommate and you don t know anything about it. are you willing to talk to the fbi? i m willing to talk to the fbi, yes. and that s a little bit of a scary proposition too. even if you put out a sworn statement, i think in mark junl s case, it was through his attorney. that s tricky on whether that has a sworn statement as others do, but you have to tell them the truth or it s a crime. not a problem for you? not a problem for me. i believe in the truth. thank you very much for taking this opportunity. i know it s not a conversation you ve been dying to have but it matters right now. thank you. thank you. so this fbi probe, who is it
