Me back in july is what she communicated to the full senate judiciary committee today. and for senators to -- i know we live in a politically managed system. but theres some wild assertions that are really not based in fact. >> so youre saying that the republican -- you said the republican senators they have it wrong. youre saying because senator feinstein she addressed it and said she didnt do it. she turned to her staff. they said they didnt do it. and your office. >> that was regarding the ch...

This is worse than clarence thomas, and i didnt think it could get any worse than that. this is as national disgrace the way youre being treated. and in the middle of it all we have judge kavanaugh, a man who until two weeks ago was a pillar of the legal community. theres been no whisper of misconduct by him in the time that hes been a judge. what we have are uncorroborated, unsubstantiated claims from his teenage years! claims that every alleged eyewitness has either denied or failed to corrobo...

Thomas. i didnt think it could get any worse than that. this is a national disgrace, the way youre being treated. in the middle of it all, we have judge kavanaugh, a man who until two weeks ago was a pillar of the legal community. there has been no whisper of misconduct by him in the time hes been a judge. what we have are uncorroborated, unsubstantiated claims from his teenage years, claims that every alleged eyewitness has either denied or failed to corroborate. i do not mean to minimize the s...

That involved a lot of alcohol consumption. she wanted to take the time to consider whether she was absolutely confident to a point where she knew this would rip apart her life and she would be the subject of this partisan sniping youve seen today. she in the end decided she was that sure. i would just say that that is a typical kind of process for women coming forward in the stories that ive done about difficult stories of trauma which are often affected by factors like alcohol, like the age of...

Sation and they issue sort of a stake now its said there is for many parts including the church itself assertions about not just scenes being committed but crimes and of course i mean the church is in the business of adjudicating since it is national authorities and the law that is in the business of adjudicating crimes both the church and government officials are now tony mode crimes and if this is the case of course that would someone with an obligation to investigate and do something about it...

As saying i believe that the committee investigators should reach out to debra ramirez in order to question her under oath about what she is alleging happened. lisa, if susan collins insists on that, we are probably not having a hearing this week. >> well, its not clear whats going to happen between president trumps claims and debra ramirez assertions on the floor. i think she should be interviewed along with the ram mate who says she believes debra ramirezs statements that happened with her and...

Hes doing it methodically and in a timely manner and we should allow him to conclude his investigation. lets remember what were talking about here is a foreign power interfering in our electoral process. that is of the most seriousness to the way our country operates. >> do you see -- >> and the assertions of influence as a result of russian interference are getting stronger, rather than weaker. >> richard, do you see any similarities between what could happen if rosenstein is pushed out in the ...

Difficult stories of trauma which are often affected by factors like alcohol, like the age of the allegations. >> and what about the assertions tonight by judge kavanaugh? he said it repeatedly tonight in that interview that "the new york times" had -- and "the new york times" is reporting that miss ramirez had talked to former yale classmates and tole so expressed that -- saying she wasnt sure if it was kavanaugh. >> we disclosed a very similar language in our own piece that we called dozens of...

For the president to move on this now or avoid the issue and wait until after the mid-terms? how do you read it? >> i think the president has excellent political instincts. i also think that its very inappropriate for us to act base solely on andrew mccabes assertions because we have called him a liar repeatedly. you cant pick the things that you think are honest and discard those that you think are dishonest. this is a bold president that didnt think about the next election. he thinks about wha...
