Touches, talking with senator lee about the intensity of the protests. i dont think that will diminish in the aftermath of tomorrows vote. with regard to the process, remember i find it so distorting that people act as if we had this man life and liberty at stake. he is a judge on a federal court, what we are talking about is a nomination to the supreme court and we had not a charge of rape but sexual assault. >> a third accuser was talking about gang rape. >> that got dismissed, that wasnt even...

Jeopardized. >> nbc news reporting that kavanaughs classmates who wanted to come forward who were ignored and the fbi did not contact them. there is one message in particular that kaf fvanaugh attempted to interfere with messages. as early as july, the same month that dr. ford came forward was trying to get in touch with his former classmates in order to craft a narrative of his interaction of the second accuser? >> should that have been investigated? >> it should have been investigated by the f...
