Page 32 - Chuck Grassly News Today

Facilitate and pass along the outright lies of chuck grassly and orin hatch and now all of the republican senators who are all lying about the fact that theres no time for an fbi investigation. the news medias job now is to penetrate and expose that lie. that is a lie. and any member of the news media who accepts that lie unchallenged by any republican member of the senate is complicit in that lie. the chairman of the senate judiciary committee is on his way to committing a crime against the tru...

Did you tell her that? >> hes still on the judiciary committee. senator orin hatch is still on the senate judiciary committee. and the question tonight is what has orin hatch learned in the 27 years since he embarrassed himself and the senate in that hearing? what have the republicans and the judiciary committee learned? the answer might be they learned absolutely nothing. before completely surrendering to democratic demands today they postpone thursdays vote on brett kavanaughs confirmation the...

On the committee most recently. what is your sense of what they have learned how to handle this in the last 27 years? >> i think it indicates republicans have not learned very much from that history. you saw senator grassly this weekend talking about the fact there was supposedly no cooberation. you saw and you played the statement of senator hatch questioning professor ford. and so i dont think that the men who are in the majority on that committee are in any position to cross-examine a witness...

Republicans have not learned very much from that history. you saw senator grassly this weekend talking about the fact there was supposedly no cooberation. you saw and you played the statement of senator hatch questioning professor ford. and so i dont think that the men who are in the majority on that committee are in any position to cross-examine a witness, treat her like they treated anita hill back in 1991. i think what the senate democrats have done this evening in asking for a professional i...

Hearing, but this is such an incredibly fast-moving story. and thats what brings us, as you noted here, in front of senator chuck grasslys office. he faces an incredible amount of pressure, of course, from many democrats on that committee. they have called for him en masse in a statement this morning to delay the vote on thursday and certainly, hes also facing calls from republicans to, at the very least, find out more information. potentially hold new hearings. now, grassley did come out with...

Now, john kennedy, senator from louisiana, who sits on the senate judiciary committee, sat for an hour with the rest of the bu rest of the republican senators, sat on the committee with mitch mcconnell, in his office. afterwards he made that clear. he said, quote, there will be a full opportunity for the accuser and the accused to be heard in public. we pushed them to ask exactly what that means when the hearing would take place, would that delay the thursday committee vote. he did not want to g...

On the narrowly divided committee and his support is seen as critical to move kavanaughs nomination to the full senate. a spokesman for mitch mcconnell did not say whether he would delay any vote on kavanaugh. but chuck grassly appears to be moving forward with the confirmation process. in a statement grassley writes its disturbing that these uncorroborated allegations from 35 years ago would surface on the eve of the vote. if ranking member feinstein and committee democrats took this claim seri...

Acknowledging she did have this conversation about judge kavanaugh. but jonathan swan, what are the options here if you drew the republicans in congress and the demand is, and jeff flake really can hold this up because hes on the committee. they called her to testify, do they call for the fbi to investigate, and theyre going to have to keep it on a tight time line if they actually want to push forward as they say they do. >> i just spoke to a source close to process, and they are of the view tha...

The fbi has since received it from feinstein and added the letter containing these allegations to kavanaughs background file at the white house house. that means the white house and 100 u.s. senators now have access to the letter, in person if they want to see it. although the accusers name, the womans name in the letter is itself redacted. chuck grassly says he has not read the letter even though hes one of the ones that has access to it. if they vote him out on party lines that would mean he g...

And for those that rely on us every day. ♪ judge brett kavanaugh now takes his place in history as one of the very few supreme court nominees to be accused of lying in the confirmation process. but that hasnt stopped senate judiciary committee chairman chuck grassly from scheduling a
