And now donald john trump. and something is awry. each president understood that reporters, those presidents prior to this, understood that reporters were part of the underpinnings of this nation. the white house correspondents are the first line of questioning american presidents. and yeah, sometimes we ask questions that they did not like, and maybe there was a bit of retaliation or fight back, but guess what. at the end of the day, it was part of the american process. part of what our foundin...

The accusation proves itself to those who want to ask questions, you hate women. god help us all. if the new standard for the committee is that there is no presumption of anything, that you have to prove why somebody would accuse you, not just to say i didnt do it, heres why i didnt do it. but youve got to prove the motives of your accuser. god help us all. that tells you what is going to happen if we keep this farce going. plenty of time, plenty of opportunities to get to the truth. this has ne...

Histories. at times she was in tears as she encountered recounted an alleged assault. judge kavanaugh then came in and defended himself, calling this a national disgrace. >> the details about that night that bring me here today are the ones i will never forget. they have been seared into my memory and have come back to me episodically as an adult. >> i have never done this. to her or to anyone. its not who i am. it is not who i was. >> with what degree of certainty do you believe that brett kava...

Vote. remember, 11 republicans, ten democrats, and we dont know how this is going to go. they may all speak at some point, which could be a long affair, and we get a vote in the 10:00 or 11:00 hour, but the bottom line is this is about a recommendation from the senate judiciary committee to the floo floor. and they could say we recommend brett kavanaugh to be a supreme court justice. they could say we dont recommend it. either way, mitch mcconnell is taking this nomination to the floor and is go...

I think it is either that she found the letter not credible and a decided not to act on it, where she and her staff deliberately withheld it in an effort to play a last-minute sandbag. neither looks good. >> bill: thank you for coming in. does he get through this committee, yes or no? >> yes. i think so. >> bill: thank you so much for your contribution. >> martha: interesting. we are moments away now. we are waiting for the senators to file in and take their seats and a showdown on capitol hill....

Joe manchin from west virginia, donnelly from indiana. those are two who have said that they may vote for kavanaugh. but jeff flake statement, the system of justice affords a presumption of innocence to the accused, absence of corroborating evidence, that is where it is going to come down to. at the end of the day, where people are giving prosecutor mitchell some grief about how she laid it out, what she did do is lay out the reasonable corroborating evidence for christine blasey ford, absent wh...

Smears to damage judge kavanaug kavanaugh. his family, his reputation, the reputation of the court. of course, the reputation of the country. we cannot allow more time for partisans on the left to bait him into submission. we can prolong this process, knowing that in the meantime, we shouldnt prolong it, is what i am saying. knowing that in the meantime, judge kavanaughs family and our country will be dragged through the mud. but we can end the circus. frankly, we have reached a point where it i...

All it is this politics, the speeches are political, there is very little concern for the judicial temperament, dianne feinsteins comments notwithstanding. and he would would be angry if they experience what kavanaugh has experienced, and i think most of the country watching us understands that righteous indignation. >> bill: lets put that question to marie harf. what is your opinion? >> well, i did think that there seem to be a moment for judge kavanaugh. we are still waiting on collins and mur...

Overplayed their hand and this one. had they not held to this letter, had they privately dealt with it, i think it might have been actually more effective. but the fairness of the delay really tainted the entire proceeding, and then when they finally got to those questions with judge kavanaugh, they really seemed to be flailing around for anything that could get traction. >> bill: rachel mitchell, the prosecutor according to politico him as she briefed lawmakers, and they are reporting that she ...

Monologue, fax versus motion, it is human nature. whether the accuser, dr. ford seems like a nice person, or brought seems like he was too indignant, to some extent, the senators were doing their job by putting that aside and thinking wait a second, what did we learn yesterday? that gives us a better son, factually, of what happened 36 years ago, given the fact that judge kavanaugh has no pattern of this type of behavior, no contemporaneous corroboration. it we are left with well, we want to tal...
