Court in that sphere that the governor deserves his day in court. like i said, the governor at any point can address these allegations. he has a microphone. he has a giant bully pulpit. he can sit and answer questions until the cows come home. the problem is his attorneys presented an account last night that made it look like this was, you know, a completely jinned up thing on behalf of evilly motivated officials including a former u.s. attorney. but also they were trying to poke holes here, poke holes there, we didn t get the notes here, there s a day that the date is off here, but they didn t address the trooper s harassment and, you know, her assault claims. they also didn t address the entire mountain of evidence. 11 witnesses, eyewitnesses, corroborating testimony. it is just a lot, and the new yorkers that i m talking to are at this point not giving the governor the benefit of the doubt. i think all of these arguments really don t amount to a frontal, serious undermining of ....
To go within those cases. not in that particular story but there are other unrelated stories. the assault claims were not found to have substance. the claim about trump having a love child, a new instance of the inquiry seeking to catch and kill the story in close collaboration with trump associates is documented in the book, a claim of underage sexual assault involving trump and jeffrey epstein, that is another one where we are not sure if there is a very rare. there are still resources extended to kill be stories. i want to read from page 343 and you are talking about some of these cases, from case in particular, as to claims about the love child the anonymous rape allegation was not backed by convincing evidence so it didn t go anywhere but that is i would draw a distinction between that and others that are more substantive. nbc takes your . point by ....
Being part of the process. and there is no procedures that were set up before hand. that was a problem with the thomas hearing and i guarantee you that will be a problem playing out next week is there are no let me follow up on that point. because anita hill, if you read her opinion piece in the new york times yesterday, she makes the point even after her highly publicized testimony, the senate judiciary committee still does not have a protocol how to handle these assault claims. it has been 27 years. why hasn t that happened? they didn t anticipate it would be my first that is not a good enough answer. that is not a good enough answer. well, i m definitely not defending the process by any stretch. in fact just the opposite. i don t think i do not think that you will get a fair process out of a judiciary committee hearing for these kind of issues and individual s claim. by no means. ....
Analyst mark preston and a national political reporter for politico. great to see you guys. rebecca, three members of congress announcing resignations in three days. what are you hearing from folks on the hill about this? as crystal wrochris cillizza wrote on cnn.com this is the movement. you get the sense on capitol hill people on the hill recognize this. lawmakers and party leaders given that the conversation a few weeks ago was so different than the conversation we are having now. we were talking about the institution essentially protecting members who were accused of sexual assault, the opaque process for filing harassment claims, filing assault claims, now you get the sense that we have shifted rapidly to a zero tolerance sort of environment and that goes for both sides of the aisle as well. you have a situation now where the status quo is not to protect members but to out them, urge them to resign. there is no tolerance and no ....
Midterm elections, how are democrats going to play it? are they going to be the party that takes the high road on sexual harassment and assault claims and tries to have some kind of standard for lawmakers when they are accused or when there are credible accusations that they stepped out. is al franken going to be someone who is also pressured into may be stepping aside? 2018 is going to be interesting to see this narrative about this issue plays out politics because as we ve seen with republicans with the alabama senate race, they have chosen a different way of handling the issue. going into juan: i want to hear it. katie: they have chosen, based on how democrats have reacted for 30 years of sexual assault claims like bill clinton, double down, deny, dragged the victims of the mud. they take that playbook and use it and say were not going to give up our power because democrats never do. if were all going to be in the dirt on this, then we are going to have our own people who are ....
