Sounds like in her comments shes frustrated by the antics theyre seeing in the hearings and i think she knows that what weve seen brett kavanaugh as a judge with bipartisan appeal. liberal law professors and supreme court advocates, also, pro choice and think roe versus wade was correctly decided, but who stand up and say that judge kavanaugh is so responsible as a judge, independent, even-handed, this is kind of person we should want on the bench and i think at the end of the day, thats compell...

Thats brett kavanagh. mcgahn has been charged with shepherding his nomination through the senate. it does seem that republicans right now are content to say if you throw a trump tweet of the day in their face, they say, judges, judges, judges, you know, it does seem that he is on a relative glide path. >> and it has seemed that way for i think basically almost evening he was nominated by the president. i think you talk to folks on the left and they are discouraged by the lack of traction they ha...

Phil rucker, quickly before we go, whats your sense, the democrats have said they want to call john dean of watergate fame into this. is the white house worried about that at all? >> theyre concerned about the kavanagh hearings obviously because its such a high risk. its unclear what kinds of lines of questioning there could be, what the dynamic could be in the hearing room. but theyre practicing really hard. theyre confident in the nominee they have. they feel like theyve worked out a lot of th...

He doesnt have going back to the bush administration and stretching back to ken starr. he has much more experience than amy barrett. hes been on that sixth circuit for ten years now. he could be sort of on the glide path to confirmation if hes the pick. again, the rumor, the buzz, is that as of now, today and this can change, the president really hit it off with kethledge and he could be the new frontrunner. >> molly, a lot of it is personal with the president and how he relates to somebody, bot...

Program at the time. thats important because many cia officers were out in public defending this post-9/11 program in part by saying congress knew about it and cheered it on. very few members of congress were briefed on it initially after 9/11. according to the senate report the briefings they got were cursory and inadequate and gina haspel affirmed that today in her letter. >> what do we know, now that she is on a glide path to nomination here. what do we know about her relationship with presid...
