The republicans. they had a press conference tonight, two testimonies tomorrow, by the accuser and the defendant, a vote by the committee on friday, and a vote by the full senate early next week. hows that five-act play look like right now? >> well, with its up in the air because the script keeps being flipped every few hours, it seems, where there are new allegations from new accusers, people -- the president coming in and trying to take over the messaging in this, and his press conference, whi...

The boxes checked so nobody can speculate. the second thing is, you know that some of the digging on the corroboration that ford offered up hasnt borne any fruit yet. so why wouldnt you go down the path of vetting it so people can say, your lag of effort leads them to a conclusion? >> for two reasons. one is both these accusers have now had every reporter. first, the first one came out. feinstein decided to make it public. >> we dont know that she had anything to do with making it public. someho...

Not everything. >> doesnt feel that way. >> amid all of this, president trump and michael avenatti on twitter. going on while we have been talking. the president began with this. a third rate lawyer good at making false accusations like he did on me and then judge brett kavanaugh. she is ju he is just looking for attention. a total low-life. >> avenatti responded minutes later tweeting, false accusations? like those crimes your fixer cohen pled to? you are a habitual liar and narcissist thats...

That they are believing what they are stating in that moment or perhaps they were misguided as to who it was there is a whole host of things where the ernestness is essentially what the polygraph is testing. and the second point is that in trials not that this is one, in trials its because its an expert testimony type thing. so, for every past polygraph test and an expert who conducted it, the other side provides another adverse one. and thats why it really holds little weight, frankly. >> i wan...

That conduct carried on into college. is that just someone investigating these kinds of attacks, sexual assaults, does that give more credibility to the accusers? >> you know, it does. im not sure that it should, right. its a sad state of affairs if one woman who comes forward cant be believed simply because shes only one person. but the reality is that these cases start to reach critical mass when there are multiple accusations, and we also have this concept of corroboration. did the victim tel...

Counted in their vote. >> sandra: a big moment for the president. he is taking a seat at the u.n. about to begin chairing his first security council meeting. well get to the president when he begins. >> i want to say with democrats its rich to hear them talking about kavanaugh where there is no evidence when they are ignoring keith ellison in their own party accused of domestic violence. medical records, two accusers, multiple people she told on the record. its interesting. >> bill: keeping a ke...

>> she raises a good point. this is not a trial. but, to me, the larger than consideration here is that it seems that there is an issue of believability, an issue of credibility. so, to me, what is probably incumbent for the constituents, which is us and to whom this entire process supposedly benefits, is are these hearings where people can see the testimony occurring and i also think taking that a step further its the process that needs to be relied upon. i think that the biggest disservice bei...

Since that interview aired, you know, the white house certainly was -- they were glad he was out there. they pushed for it. this is sort of their more aggressive stance. they felt like for a few days they ceded the media landscape to the accusers. and fearful of the sort of drip, drip, drip, drip, of allegations. in fact, i talked to a senior white house official in the last day or so who said our biggest enemy here is time. the longer this goes, the more there can be allegations, true or not. a...

Democrat, testified on kavanaughs behalf and wrote an editorial in the "new york times," supporting his appointment based on the legal strength of judge kavanaughs written decisions. >> as a constitutional scholar, read what judge kavanaugh as a judge has written, and i thought that this overall work product placed him at the very top of all sitting federal republican judges. >> reporter: he now has second thoughts. >> i have second thoughts, because a second issue has arisen, and its an issue a...

This is definitely unique and hes going to be asked a whole range of questions not just about the kavanaugh process, which im told by one senate republican they just wish the president would stop making these kinds of comments about this. they feel like from the president on down, they all need to tread lightly if they want to get moderate republicans. but hes also going to be asked about rod rosenstein. remember that story. that story is waiting for him. hes supposed to meet with rod rosenstein...
