Done around an example related to trump. this fisa warrant, you focused on page, was it used for criminal purposes? yes, indeed, it was. page was an avenue into the trump campaign. and we still have a special counsel who was appointed with no criminal predicate. >> didnt have to have one. >> still, no named criminal predicate. that is contrary to doj authority, their regulations -- >> no, its not! >> this was a regulatory appointment -- >> you are totally making this up, ken. >> yes, wiit is. ye...

Grassley has reached out to her and her attorney, but has not heard back. but they have interviewed brett kavanaugh about the allegations. they have also reached out to the individual who was cited by ford in that "the washington post" piece piece about who allegedly witnessed this incident from the 1980s, that person, mark judge, has told the senate judiciary committee that he does not want to testify in public. and he said he has no recollection of this incident. now democrats on the other han...

It sounds as if the president is being very restrained, uncharacteristically restrained. >> she not calling out anything about the accuser and doubting her. he is channelling towards the democrats which we know from reporting has been the aides here in the west wing. their strategy over the last few days since these allegations first surfaced for the president to focus on the delay and everyone finding out about the allegations. thats what we saw from president trump in the oval office as he spo...

Push back on these women." so why all of a sudden with his choice for the supreme court under fire are the president and the white house talking about a process playing out and hearing out the accuser? thats, frankly, just not clear. could be they truly believe she should be heard. could be because theyre concerned about the midterms. theres new cnn polling showing democrats have an advantage in races in two states, tennessee and arizona, that are critical to democrats taking control of the sena...

>> for mitch mcconnell, it is supreme court process. for "the the wall street journal" weaponizing and polarizing and not holding hearings on the nominee took it to a higher level. the driving force in this midterm election so far and biggest risk to republicans is the sharp movement away from them particularly among college educated white women. professional white women who will look at the accuser and see someone very much like their own. in half -- >> professor. >> yes. in half of the open se...

I mean, all of the republicans involved, everyone involved. do you know how the white house is trying to convince the president to stay out of this fight? stay away from attacking her directly. we all have seen how hes dealt with allegations and accusers in the past. >> right. the president has been unusually silent on this. he has not tweeted about this. he defended kavanaugh yesterday in a fairly muted way. but he also did not take any shots at the accuser. you saw kellyanne conway go on tv ye...

Whatever to you have to do. its a process and we all feel speaking for all of the republicans, we feel we want to go through the process and give everybody a chance to say what they have to say. >> the statement is set for an extraordinary public showdown over the kavanaugh nomination, if it happens. kavanaugh and his accuser, christine blasey ford have been invited to testify on monday, but gop senate leaders say ford has not responded to the invitation. her accusation threatens to derail kavan...

Issued a blanket denial, how are you supposed to proceed in a manner to have people believe you and to move forward? that is not in any way attacking the credibility or the character of the accuser, who i believe wished to remain anonymous. i dont believe that anyone on the republican side of the aisle has sought to out her identity in this process. it is a political hot potato of the sort that i have never witnessed ever in my lifetime. >> congressman, because the questions you raised there the...

Is obstruct and resist. it sounds as if the white house, after being pushed back on their heels yesterday, is sort of getting their act together, getting their talking points together, and all the while brett kavanaugh is going over to the white house and prepping for this hearing on monday. >> exactly. i think the presidents team is probably praying that the president doesnt tweet anything malicious against the accuser because, remember, when he is backed into a corner typically his strategy is...

Months, supposedly, why its evidently an accusation thats more than three decades old, and why it would only come to light in the very last seconds of a process that has gone on for months. it sort of defies credibility to believe that its just a coincidence. >> we should be clear here, though, that the timeline from the accusers perspective is she raised this in july 2018 before he was -- when he was on a short list, before he was the presidents nominee here. and she raised it with a tip line t...
