Page 922 - Conclusions News Today

They want to buy two more months, get through this election. they are not interested at all on the conclusions or the results. lets remember that this committee, senate committee has sorely investigated. they have done what they could to depoliticize this process and the republicans as well have done what they could to reach out to dr. ford. even offered to go over to california and she wasnt even aware of it. why? because her lawyers are pro-democrat political operatives. of course, referred to...

Look at chris murphy, for instance, earlier in the week he was saying that we absolutely needed an fbi investigation. and then today the narrative already shifts where he says well, its good that we have an fbi investigation. but, you know, kavanaugh is still the most dangerous, the most dangerous threat to the supreme court. so, this is going to continue. this is going to be ugly. i dont think that anyone really believes that democrats are going to be satisfied. >> neil: what i do wonder about ...

>> thats correct. >> trace: would that shift in this investigation? would they change that? would they maybe reach conclusions or is that just out of bounds? >> i have to say i think its somewhat out of bounds because the rules and procedures for the fbi are very straightforward. in a case like this with a background check they gather the information. they speak to the witnesses. if it went forward here, they would speak to the witnesses who have first-hand knowledge of the alleged incident and ...

Approves this part on the fbi to look into this, presumably just look into the dr. ford situation then what? washington examiner is with us right now. what joe manchin, lisa murkowski, heidi heitkamp and wanted to see. how will it go? will they be satisfied with one week investigation a week from now on the 5th of october wrapped up and only concludes with christie ford situation that makes no conclusions at all. >> yeah. some of those senators will, i think, be satisfied with a summit tri repor...

Have three different allegations and the question that i dont quite understand yet is whether this agreement contemplates investigating just the ford allegations or is there going to be any investigation of the other two which i would imagine the democrats would insist upon. >> trace: you know, we have been told steve, again and again that the fbi doesnt draw conclusions they just issue reports. they would issue a report to the white house. is that kind of how you would expect this to go? you ki...

Investigations are actually useless, as words, and they all agreed back then. take a look. >> the next person that 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. so judge, theres no reason why you should know this. the reason why we cant rely on the fbi report, he would like it if we did because it is inconclusive. they say he said, she said and they said, period. so when ...

Interviewing them. and isnt giving us any facts. so, all we have -- >> youre interviewing me. youre interviewing me. youre doing it, senator. sorry to interrupt. youre doing it. there is no conclusions reached. >> tucker: that was kavanaugh responding to senator dianne feinstein of california in todays hearing. we spoke to retired professor alan dershowitz ahead of the hearing. now that it is over what did he think the outcome? alan dershowitz also the author of "the case against impeaching trum...

Their own conclusions, which is what happened during the anita hill controversy. >> trace: mark judge, brett kavanaughs friend came out with another letter saying as far as the other allegations they are just ridiculous knocking those down. he has also denied the initial allegations. how important as a former federal prosecutor how important is mark judges testimony to the fbi. if he flat out denies it, where do they go from there? one thing to get a written denial mark judge. another to get mar...

And a full public forum to tell her story, but the right thing also requires, and we saw yesterday judge kavanaugh given a full and fair opportunity to defend himself. the american people watched that testimony. they have come a wway with a number of conclusions. and number one, the testimony is in direct conflict. what they said is directly conflicting. judge kavanaugh categorically and unequivocally denied the allegations. and so the question is how do you are resolve that diskrep en -- discre...

Not. you spent two years in a white house office that approved judicial nominees. you turned to the fbi over and over and over again for their work. lets bring them in here and now. turn to don mcgahn and tell him its time to get this done. an fbi investigation the only way to answer some of these questions. stop the clock. >> this committee is running this hearing, not the white house, not don mcgahn, not even you as a nominee. we are here today because dr. ford asked for an opportunity to hear...
