Will get past this procedural vote, which will be tomorrow at some point. we think tomorrow morning. final pass aage to put brett kavanaugh on the supreme court is likely to be saturday. theres no signs we have public or private that either of those things going to fail. >> and weve heard from some of these tossup senators, if you will, senator flake, senator collins indicating that they believe that the report was fair, and they believe, according to senator collins that the investigation itsel...

The fbi did not follow up with a single one of the eight individuals that dr. ford had said had corroborating information. they condition follow did not f single person of the 20 that ms. ramirez had corroborating information. so this was simply done to talk to a few individuals who they knew had no new information. it really is -- this is not the fbis fault. the fooishbi followed instructi from the white house. the white house gave instructions that made it so limited that the fbi could got fol...

Thorough investigation. jeff flake saying he didnt see additional corroborating information of doctor fords claim and says the report is reassuring. that is one persons opinion. were reporting on something we havent seen. we do know whats not in there. investigation set on a pretty artificial timeline has ignored dozens of potential witnesses. want to walk through the site because its important. fbi had spoken to nine people. includes mark judge. who doctor ford said was in the room. about what ...

People who could corroborate my account. >> we have yet to see the full sense of what the fbi has come up with, but the last time i checked, democrats really liked the fbi and wanted to give credence to the fbi, not undermine the judicial department, the justice department, so i think lets wait. lets not preemptively decide the fbi screwed up here in order to serve our own political purposes. what everyone wanted was a fact finding mission. we wanted facts. not everybody wanted it, but democrats...

Was a very limited process that would constrain the fbi from getting all the facts. having received a thorough briefing on the documents, those fears have been realized. >> but again, to reiterate, a lot of that is partisan noise because it is jeff flake, susan collins, lisa murkowski, joe manchin and heidi hide camp are the only names that matter. how they interpret the documents will determine brett kavanaughs fate. lets go straight to phil mattingly and talk again about what we heard in the l...

Committee say they must now settle. >> we are dealing with the demolition derby and they just about destroyed a good person. >> democrats argue the fbi review was incomplete and suggested they didnt completely exonerate kavanaugh. >> i disagree with senator grassleys statement that there was no hint of misconduct. >> a north dakota senator heidi heitkamp up for democratic demc reelection says no. >> this will be very close vote and will hang on if you democrats and republicans. if i were to gues...

Report showed no additional corroborating information. neither senator revealing yet how they will vote, but their words boosting the confidence among republicans today. >> theres absolutely zero corroboration. zero corroboration to any of these allegations. i think, obviously, it makes people feel really good coming out of there. >> collins and flake are two of the four senators who now hold kavanaughs future in their hands after senator heidi heitkamp told cnn affiliate -- >> i will be voting ...

Nomination. >> but thats not -- >> shes talking, for crying out loud. >> there was never any public assault allegations. that is very, very important in sexual assault and sexual harassment cases. whether you have corroboration, whether you told someone about this prior to it becoming public, and she has given the name of six people who she told prior to it becoming public, and the fbi chose not to use it. and the reason this matters is because senators are using this talking point. theres no co...

Mitch mcconnell has scheduled the first critical vote tomorrow. and the democrats are hoping to peel off two or three of the undecided republicans, lisa murkowski, jeff flake or susan collins now seems bleak. senator collins moments ago call calling the investigation thorough, and senator flake saying that he found no additional corroborating information. a source briefed on the fbi probe says that nine people were interviewed and not including kavanaugh or ford, and nor did they interview 40 ot...

Should be made public? >> good afternoon, ana. yes, it should be made public, but it should be a much bigger report. its concerning that they would limit the scope of their investigation. and the fact that the white house had limited the scope of the investigation to me represents a consciousness of guilt, a fear of what they would find if they had heard from other potential witnesses provided by debbie ramirez, of what they would found if they had interviewed judge kavanaugh and dr. ford. >> wh...
