Would argue preponderance of the evidence that we use in civil trials. what you make of that, kathy, the idea that were going to do these in these settings, non-legal settings. more likely than not. do you agree with that standard and do you think it was met here? >> as i understand this, it was a job interview and not a legal proceeding. >> right. >> i believe that christine blasey ford was credible because she was willing to do the fbi process and the lie detector test and i would have thought...

Who has been outspoken about wanting professor ford to testify before the committee before they move ahead in the vote. also, susan collins of maine and lisa murkowski of alaska. theyre moderate republicans who have showed that they are at times willing to go against the grain of their party. with the republicans having only a slight advantage in the senate, 51/49, there is a slim margin for error. keep an eye on how they react to the testimony if we see a hearing and how they decide to vote on ...
