Their parents. Well dig into that in just a moment. We start with the hand grenade that President Trump threw into an already difficult fbi investigation process.

Shameful. I said yesterday i think this is one of the darkest days for the United States senate since the mccarthy hearings that occurred back in the 50s. You may recall the comments of one of the lawyers who said i never really gauged your cruelty or recklessness before today and asked senator mccarthy, have you no sense of decency . I think this process has been cruel and reckless and indecent for both dr. Ford and judge kavanaugh, and it did not have to be that way. When we learned yesterday ...

In that powder puff interview on fox, and by doing so, he painted himself into a corner, and he spent today fighting himself out of it. I saw it as a he said, three said. Because he had three women against him but only one was allowed to speak. You saw a battle of stereotypes, she was even, fairly unemotional, did he everen shall, you know why . Wom...

Experience, that if unreasonable constraints have been put on this investigation, that he would expect us to hear about it in one way or another. And, you know, weve had all this interesting reporting about whether or not the investigation is constrained, whether its operating under unreasonable bright lines. I dont think we know, just as i dont think we know when this report is going to come out, we wont know until its done. But this is, this is a process that i feel like we have very little wi...

New details this morning on that investigation. And i should say one thing, senator cloklobuchar, which is appreciate our meeting together and what happens next with the seat on the highest court in the land on the the line. Lawmakers waiting on the fbi for some sort of clarity. I thought her testimony was very compelling. Joined on this busy morning by msnbc political analyst and director of programming through sirius xm, and host of stand up on sirius xm and a League Analyst and a former u. S....

I dont think we know, just as i dont think we know when this report is going to come out, we wont know until its done. But this is, this is a process that i feel like we have very little window into. What we have seen with the Washington Post and the New York Times, for example, what a difference every day makes. Every additional day the Washington Post or the New York Times seems to discover something we did not know the day before about Brett Kavanaugh. Yeah. And to the extent that this proces...
