the house of representatives you just left. now you re going to the senate as the first woman senator from the state of tennessee. talk to me about women power on capitol hill. i think women have a different approach to making decisions. and sometimes i think maybe it is time for us to have a room the table for the great new gal gals. harris: room at the table. we are looking at a different landscape in the senate. how do you see this growing majority for a republican? what you re going to see is some of us that are new to this senate are going to push to have the senate pick up their pace, if you will. to get things done, answer questions. bring forward problem-solving legislation, whether it
there are some written answers coming possibly in the coming months that would probably fall short of any prosecutor would like from someone they want to chat with but that may be as good as mr. mueller gets at this point. shepard: if you are the prosecutor though and you have all these witnesses and all this evidence, why bother? if you want answer questions, then why bother? that s a fair point, the best-case scenario is getting the president to answer not only your first volley of questions with the follow-up, because if someone is not telling the truth, they can be one or two layers of lies and it s hard to get four or five layers deep. so if they are not going to do that, i don t want to say this is the next best thing but it s at least something that mr. mueller can say to get him on get him some information. if you have four documents
they saw her credibility and they saw her answer questions. there was a remarkable moment in the afternoon session where you were pressing judge kavanagh about his, his credibility as far as i could tell is what you were getting at in terms of the way he s talked about his past drinking whether or not he d been honest about drinking and whether he d always remembered things that had happened while he had been drinking. and there was this moment where he turned it around and started asking about you drinking in a way that you seemed taken aback. he actually came back from a break and apologized about that. do you have any sense of what was going on there? i think that i was asking some tough questions. i was asking him because he had said, this isn t a he said she said, this is a he said they said. he has said he has never blacked out or gotten so drunk that he doesn t remember what happened the next day. i asked him has that ever happened or where you at least partially didn t reme
political circus. and i was shocked by it, but i still think america saw this woman in the morning. they saw her credibility, and they saw her answer questions. there was a remarkable moment in the afternoon session where you were pressing judge kavanaugh about his credibility as far as what i could tell you were getting at in terms of the way he has talked about his past drinking, whether or not he had been honest about drinking and whether he always remembered things that had happened while he had been drinking, and there was this moment where he turned it around and started asking about you drinking in a way that you seemed to taken aback. he actually came back from a break and apologized about that. do you have any sense of what was going on there? i think that i was asking some tough questions. i was asking him, because he has said this isn t a he said/she said. this is a he said/they said. he has said that he has never blacked out or gotten so drunk
opportunity to question, to hear from the accuser and the accused. we ll see more details as they emerge. now of course the big question, can he get enough votes to get out of the senate, we don t know that just yet. it s very interesting. christine blasey ford, the accuser, and brett kavanaugh, the accused, they have agreed to testify under oath before the senate judiciary committee. i assume in open session. but there s no way you can organize that kind of a hearing between now and thursday, right? reporter: it would be very, very difficult. this is a high-stakes, high-profile hearing, so much riding on this. to sit down, answer questions, have enough to push back against the allegations from the brett kavanaugh side and whether christine ford would want to come with any other further corroborating information and have the senators prepared to ask the questions, doing that typically takes weeks to get something to this magnitude to
