Keep up with that for the next 29 days? hard to imagine. >> jon: how do you not argue that senator dianne feinstein who sat on the kavanaugh information, this allegation from christine blasey ford, that she didnt somehow or someone in her office didnt somehow leak it for political purposes? >> she was honoring her request to be kept anonymous and didnt want to come forward. we have a lot to learn about that letter. christine fords email was hacked. all of it. people went through her email. we do...

And we know his track record on issues and what he says. even he says, you have to go through the process of figuring out the situation and give people a chance to be heard. and luckily, that notion prevailed. and both ford and kavanaugh will testify on monday. at least theyll have that chance. now, heres the critical part. whats going to happen now? i just have this one point for you, because thats really where it begins and end. theyre going to testify under oath, okay? but they will do so in ...

Mechanism to review accusations of misconduct. that is the office of nrmt general. that would be one avenue. the other is that congress could review these documents in camera, which theyve already done. there are ways you dont need to spill it out to the public, which they dont really understand how to evaluate these things. and you know, this kind of misinformation from ken doesnt help either. >> asha, youre a former fbi special agent, yes? yes? >> whoa, whoa, whoa misinformation -- >> you just...

Concerning this confirmation, and they sit on it for six or eight weeks? thats unacceptable. dianne feinstein is responsible for that. theres absolutely no excuse. it is one thing to -- >> right. >> -- to keep our identity private and not go public with it. but theres no reason it should not have been divulged to that committee. no reason. >> a couple follow-ups. one, why doesnt the president open it up to the fbi? youll get your wish if its behind closed doors, and you get somebody to vet the i...

Court and his nomination should be pulled. >> well, look, i take your point on that. i do think as a middle ground, they could have given it to the fbi and taken it away from the senators. at least give the senators a basis of information for what their questions will be coming from. otherwise, theyre just really going to be shooting in the dark here. and the fbi could have done that. it doesnt seem that theyll be allowed to. the white house could ask them to do it. there hasnt been any move the...

Court, dr. ford reaches out to "the washington post" and to her congresswoman, democrat ana eshoo. but she didnt want her name in the press, thats a key fact. later that month, after president trump nominated kavanaugh, ford contacted the ranking democrat on the senate judiciary committee, dianne feinstein, but still insisted she wanted to remain anonymous. that created a twist here, a tension. early august, she took a lie detector test at the suggestion of her lawyer, not the lawmakers, and "th...

Here. the white house should go to the fbi and say, open up the background again. take this information. take a look. do some digging. what can you corroborate? what can you find? what should we know? at least at that point, the senators could ask educated questions about this, know what theyre talking about, other than just spewing questions that reflect self-interest, as opposed to the interest in the truth. now, why do i have this up here? because although i dont love it as an analogy, this i...
