Investigation? he was silent at some point, and at some points he was flabbergasted at trying to answer. why not just say, yes, i think that would be a great idea? >> i think it was clearly the democrats cleanest point. kavanaugh nor the republican senators on the panel had a good answer for that, and they had a answer but not a believable answer as to why not an fbi investigation. thats when lindsay graham came roaring back for the defense to get rid of the prosecutor there. i think that questi...

Re-election, and clearly joe manchin wants to group himself with these republicans. i wonder if they are going to move as a block now that they are convening together. you are right, john, this is a ball game. it was a massive cultural development yesterday, and now its mitch mcconnell and donald trumps hunt for the 51 votes to make sure they are there, and thats the entire focus on washington right now. >> laura coates, dr. blasey ford said she was 100% certain that she was sexually assaulted b...

Those who he perceives have tried to harm him. when that white noise machine goes on and the husher is there, they are not talking to you about your day, they are talking to you out of the presence of the jury and often times they can be antagonistic, and so i am not surprised that a judge has other side of them, but what i was surprised is the notion that he was not aware of the fact that his temperament and his bomb bassicness that did mirror the president at times would be considered by the f...

Other key votes, senator flake and murkowski also nervous and expressing reservations about the new allegations. john and alisyn, i talked to a committee source and asked about the mood and the course said we are all just holding our breath. >> joining us now is cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, laura cotts, and david callen and john avalon. john avalon and john berman, i want to start with you, and i remember how anita hill testified and we were all riveted. look, this is all of ...

The violence and threats against my family will not draw me out. the truth is that i have never sexually assaulted anybody, not in high school, not in college, not ever. again for awful us, as laura said, for all of the jury, this is going to be a challenging day. >> yeah, one thing that is exposed is how broken the process is. i think that is pretty clear. to your point, alisyn, judge kavanaugh has been categorical in his denials from the get go, from the very beginning of the first allegation ...

Donald trump and brett kavanaugh dont want the truth known. >> like you, were in the business of more information is better. so its not about character assassination, its about painting a full picture. the guy who she is dating, her ex-boyfriend gave this statement to politico who says right after i broke up with her, she was threatening my family and wife and threatening to do harm to my baby at that time. i know a lot about her and shes not credible at all, not at all. does that give you any p...

100% credible. anybody that has seen my tract record over the last several months i dont traffic in rumor and nonsense. we are encouraging the fbi to immediately get involved and sit down with my client for an interview. we want mark judge interviewed and brett kavanaugh interviewed and everybody interviewed, alisyn. also, she has offered this morning -- before this morning, days ago, we offered to have her testify under oath -- >> what did the committee say? >> they refused her to testify under...

Hit a pause button on the cascading headlines one would imagine as you focus on this. i thought it was interesting in the clip you just played there, alisyn, that swetnick is taking a different approach than what ford is. you just heard her weigh in on whether kavanaugh should be sitting on the supreme court. professor ford makes clear in her statement, thats not her job whether or not to assess whether kavanaugh should sit on the supreme court, but today is to tell her story. >> doesnt it tell ...

>> let me finish. they are corroborating witnesses that are going to come forward and attest to much of this conduct to support the allegations in this declaration. this is the beginning stage, alisyn. this is not the end. shes made these allegations, and shes prepared to stand behind them. there needs to be an investigation. thats why we have investigations. >> just to my question, why would she ever go back in why did she go to ten of the house parties? >> first of all, to be clear, spiking th...

Professor christine blasey ford and kavanaugh will be the only two witnesses testifying before the senate judiciary committee. ford claims that kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her and held his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. in her prepared remarks she says she believes kavanaugh was attempting to rape her and has had a lasting impact on her life, and brett kavanaugh denied all the allegations calling them last-minute smears. >> there have been new allegations that surfa...
