Seen below that level in letters back and forth. what weve seen is steps forward like this followed at some point by a step back. and thats been the pattern thats been going on ever since january when he started to express some detaunt with south koreans. this would go beyond trumps first term in office. the president doesnt want any part of that. >> real quickly, theres rumors about this about shakeups in the white house, firings after the mid-terms. that happens in a lot of administrations. on...

Emotional is going to be a real problem for them, and so i think that they are potentially from the political standpoint encouraged with this idea that she may not end up testifying, and they can try to use that, but if you are watching the way that the white house especially has been very careful and the inclination is always to fight, and to support kavanaugh, but you have seen the president do that, but even within that, he is not going out and attacking dr. fords credibility. the president t...

I wanted to show all of us member of the committee and her reaction yesterday. >> guess who is perpetuating this? it is the men of the country. i want to say shut up and step up and do the right thing for a change. >> and ley parker, there is a gender distinguishing factor when you have 11 women on the committe committee, and many women voters may be reacting differently to this than the republican leadership in the senate. >> you are absolutely right, and no matter what, this is an optics probl...

President. the president there also saying he doesnt believe the fbi should get involved in all of this. thats what democrats are calling for. senator feinstein called for a delay because she believes the fbi should be investigating this womans claims about judge kavanaugh. the president there standing by him and defending his nominee once again, saying he has an unblemished record and he is okay with a little bit of a delay, but you heard him there at the end, saying only a little bit of a dela...

The fisa. >> well, this was always an investigation in search of a crime. i supported mueller when he was first appointed because i thought, great, we have a good guy that was there before, he will come in and see there is no evidence of collusion except maybe collusion between the democrats and the russians which there is which the special counsel has done nothing about and nobody has investigated it. now this thing has gone on so long it is scary to see the mainstream media, many americans who...

Feinstein rolled this out was actually unfair to the accuser as well. not only am i a democrat but social worker who trained with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. when something like this happens and a credible allegation comes forward and is now tarnished because it has been basically utilized as a political stalling tactic it discredits the entire situation. i think its really unfortunate. its important for the american people and the senate judiciary committee to have both the...

To the other side the second thing that hes said that is true is that, you know, voters get a chance to weigh in on this in november. and that you know this should be on voters minds in the mid-terms. >> greg, what are the risks the dangers in making this kind of information public? >> this has been troubling for more than a year now this pressure on doj to produce highly classified, highly sensitive materials and what concerns i think most observers about this latest order, if you will, from th...

Criminal investigation into these allegations, there doesnt seem to be an allegation of a crime, it wouldnt make sense to open a criminal investigation. what the white house the president could do is ask the february fib to do additional supplement am work to supplement the background it did into brett kavanaugh with respect to this nomination. so thats something the fbi would do if the president asked. >> then lets turn to the release of this classified information. president trump commenting o...

Really play out. this is the only other avenue that an orderly process. >> or an effort to regroup. especially with senator flake on the committee. they will decide. senator collins and senator corker and we assume saying senator murkowski saying i have pause here. at a minimum, we have a delay, dont we? >> at a minimum, i would think. >> its extremely difficult to adjudicate as it stands. after an orderly process, there will be facts on the table to make it slightly easier to adjudicate this. a...

Message to everyone in the presidents orbit and supporters to not play hardball, if you will and say she should be heard. republicans think the best opportunity to have all of this be heard and go away is to in fact volunteer to have a hearing. the stakes of this moment are far too high for the mid-terms as well to denigrate this womans story here. one thing we have not heard it from the president himself. he has been unusually silent. he is upset by all of this and thinks someone is trying to s...
