Allegation was unleashed and publicly deployed over dr. fords wishes. this whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit. fueled with a parent pent up anger about president trump and the 2016 election, i fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. this is a circus. the consequences will extend long past my nomination. the consequences will be...

Have. >> personally, do you think thats the best thing for us to do? you wont answer? >> and whoever wants -- whatever the committee decides, you know, im all in. >> the question is -- >> immediately. im all in immediately. >> under the constitution that judges like kavanaugh swear to uphold, it is the u.s. senate that advises and con sense on judicial nominations, which means yesterday you were witnessing the senate as the judge of his promotion. and as you may have noticed, it looked like kava...

Investigation. that kind of paves the road for me saying no matter what you do its thought going to be acceptable. i think well have to see how this all plays out but i know the bureau will have all the resources in place as best they can in order to move with this as rapidly as they can. >> neil: you know, in the end and you were telling me this yesterday as well. there are no conclusions in there the fbi gathers interviews of various players and others who might come up in the process and then...

Judiciary committee. im certainly coming forward to say i am grateful to senator flake. i am hopeful that the president will direct the fbi to further investigate the allegations that are currently before us and that i think this was a significant step and that i am hopeful that the republican majority will embrace this one-week pause for a limited-in-scope additional investigation. its my hope a report will be delivered to the judiciary committee, minority and minority and have an opportunity t...

Examined and that that should be done. we as senators reach the ultimate conclusions about whether we vote for or against judge kavanaugh, but i do think there was another doubt raised yesterday by dr. fords testimony that a number of senators felt that a further investigation was justified. >> reporter: did senator flake mention the protesters this morning? did he say anything about his state of mind and why this came about? >> id encourage you to talk to senator flake. let me say this, senator...

They had met with flake and senator joe mansion earlier in the evening before all the republicans got together to talk about what to do. there werent any conclusions coming out of that meeting. and i have to say the sort of ark you described is exactly how the mood unfolded here on the hill. in the morning i couldnt find anybody who thought this wasnt going to sink judge kavanaughs confirmation as dr. ford essentially gave credible, emotional, authentic testimony to what she experienced. but you...

That has already been interviewed and a report would then be issued. the democrats know it the 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 i...

So, all we have -- >> youre interviewing me. youre interviewing me! youre doing it, senator. im sorry to interrupt. youre doing it. there is no conclusions reached. >> tucker: that was brett kavanaugh responding to senator dianne feinstein of california in todays hearing. we spoke with retired professor alan dershowitz ahead of todays hearing. now that it is over what did he think of the outcome? alan dershowitz also the author of "the case against impeaching trump." and he he joins us tonight. ...

What the ultimate conclusions are is if they know everything that has come out so far, at least theres been some attempt to question the witnesses, question the people who the witnesses say may have information about the matter and also, frank, with the fbi who are trained investigators and interrogators to ask questions again of dr. ford and of brett kavanaugh under penalty of perjury. >> as you know, judge kavanaughs high school friend mark judge is a key figure in two out of the three accusat...

Congress in order to cool things down. if we get an fbi investigation then lets see where we are on thursday or friday of next week but i do think right now were in much of the same position we were yesterday. >> we kept hearing from brett kavanaugh the fbi has no conclusions. its not fbis job to have a conclusion. >> they will gather facts and the senate can come up with their own conclusion. >> so many questions unanswered. at least this we could possibly get that. >> we do need to hear what t...
