Aclu. everything about judge kavanaugh. he had to come in there as a guilty person and prove his innocence. i have never seen anything like it in my career. >> sean: let me start with something. i have been very critical of republicans when they dont keep their promises and they dont live up to their word and they do stupid things. to their credit for the most part, because i think today was really dumb on the part of a few. but for the most part, they have handled this with the proper seriousne...

People who know or know about person being considered for office and they ask questions along various axis, having to do with the persons background, having to do with their character, reputation, having to do with finances, having to do with use of controlled substances and then they take all of that and they turn it over to the senate because its the senate that has the job of deciding whether a person is fit or not, not the fbi. paul: first goes to white house, general counsels office, the wh...

Background check forms, that could spark a criminal investigation in which law enforcement could use the full extent of its legal powers. joining our discussion now, mimi roca, a former assistant district attorney in new york and a former hs nmsnbc analyst. >> i think there were four categories right off the back the fbi is probably going to focus on with respect to the ford allegation. the first is mark judge. a probing interview needs to be conducted of mark judge. i think kavanaugh said durin...

True. i think the committee did actually have very good investigation here. but, again, the idea that its been put up and i think accepted by a broad number of people that we need an fbi investigation in spite of what joe biden said years ago and what other people have said and what judge kavanaugh and others have said about these are not dispositive investigations as to looking for any kind of criminality or any kind of conclusions, the reality is the perception is out there, and its not good f...

You reach the conclusions. >> no, but they do investigate questions. >> brett kavanaughs angry scolding of democratic senators on thursday was shocking for long-time observers of the supreme court nomination process. but despite his repeated stonewalling on whether he would welcome or cooperate with an fbi investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against him from now multiple women, hes now cooperating after donald trump was forced to give in and order the fbi to reopen the investiga...

Hearings. >> fbi explicitly does not in this or any other case reach a conclusion, period. so when people awe an fbi report before you, understand they do not, they do not, they do not reach conclusions. leland: to that point, some of kavanaughs supporters are spinning this as a good thing saying saying the mere fact of fbi report will take away a key democratic talking point making it worse the week-long delay, jon. jon: all right, leland vittert in washington, thank you. lets bring in former f...

That could provide fuel to those who dont like the judge say im not going to vote for the judge. others to say, all right, now i have the cover to go ahead and vote for him. but is it your sense that whatever happens with this investigation, because it makes no conclusions, we have started a dangerous precedent whether you like the judge or not, now we can go back quite a ways to high school, maybe earlier than that, that its reset, sort of the test for what you look for in a candidate? >> im ve...

Kavanaugh --n he had to come in there as a guilty person and prove his innocence. i have never seen anything like it in my career. >> sean: let me start with something. i have been very critical of republicans when they dontn: kp their promises and they dont live up to their word and they do stupid things. to their credit for the most part, because i think today was really dumb on the part of a a few. but for the most part, they have handled this with the proper seriousness it deserves. professo...

Recommendations. >> sean: period. they do not. they do not. they do not reach conclusions or make recommendations. none of this matters to the democrats now. by the way, same system is in place. they obviously are not seeking the truth. equal justice, equal application of our laws. from day one, no matter what, remember, just hours after judge kavanaughs nomination was announced in july, watch the democrats. they had already made up their mind. it was just a matter of how thed bludgeoned him. >>...

You dont even want one. but, of course, that was then. this is now. take a look. >> the next person who refers to an fbi report as being worth anything obviously doesnt understand anything. fbi explicitly does not in this or any other case reach a conclusion. period. period. the reason we cannot rely on the fbi report. you wouldnt like it if we did. because it is inconclusive. they say he said, she said and they said. period. so when people wave an fbi report before you, understand, they do not,...
