Multivote Process News Today

Communities, that is not the truth. it does not bear itself out in at a least common sense, and let me say, craig, going back to the process and i wanted to shift back to the question that i asked my dear friend, elise, there is objective truth of whether the process is fair. we have to the avoid the spin, and we are going to be falling into the hyperpart sanship that the democrats are going to say it is not the fair process and the republicans will say that it was a thorough process, and there ...

>> that is what i have been hearing for quite a long time for the republicans of why it is so crucial to stick with brett avenue and not abandon him or cut bait -- brett kavanaugh, because they should not abandon him or cut bait, because they wanted to see him as falsely accuse canned of something and see it as democratic smear whether it is the case or not, and it is a big motivation particularly coming out of the white house and headed into the midte midterms and important headed into 2020 tha...

We speak. it was released in the wee hours of the night, a report that you and i are blocked from seeing, at least for now. all of this, all of this as the wheels are already in motion for a final vote on the supreme court nomination. any moment the democratic leader and judiciary democrats are expected to take to that podium that you see right there and speak to us from the capitol. when it happens, we will take you there. to say that they are unhappy about this process and the quick march towa...

Case and state her case has been living in a cave. she sat before for hours to the very individuals that have to make that decision and answered every question that was put in front of her. if a question wasnt asked of her, thats at the hands of the senators who asked those questions. >> and of course there are democrats who argue there are other relevant witnesses about aspects of the testimony given by judge kavanaugh and dr. blasey ford as well as deborah ramirez who could have been interview...

Frank, let me come back to you here really quickly. what seems to have happened, perhaps predictably now. youve got democrats who are questioning the process by which this investigation was conducted. theyre questioning the directive that was given to investigators by the white house, and youve got republicans saying that the process was fair, the investigation was thorough, and that theres no corroborating evidence thats likely going to be a phrase were going to hear a lot of over the next few ...

We have heard from the press secretary on this process just a few moments ago. what are we hearing from sarah sanders? >> reporter: we had an informal question ask answer session with sarah sanders as she was here on the north lawn driveway, and she is taking the position that the work is done. its time for a vote. the president has also tweeted its the seventh time the fbi has looked at brett kavanaugh. he says if there were 100 that would still not be enough for democrats, so we had a chance t...

Be briefed by staff who have looked at the raw data, which is what you really find in this report, individual interviews, and then trying to kebt tconnec dots. what does it all mean. thats kind of what the select staff whos in a position to brief members can help them do, especially those not on the judiciary committee who were not a part of all of the behind the scenes work to prepare for this confirmation process. remember, its gone from the committee now. the responsibility is on 100 senators...

So mr. president, lets not lose sight of the opportunity before us. this process has been ruled by fear and anger and underhanded gamesmanship for too long. time for us to stand up to this kind of thing. we owe it to the american people not to be intimidated by these tactics. we owe it to the american people to underscore that youre innocent until proven guilty. its the senate thats on trial here, mr. president. what kind of image will we convey to the public. can we be scared by all these peopl...

Still on track for that vote, but it really does depend all entirely on those same three folks weve been focused on. >> i want to play that sound from the senior senator from south carolina, lindsey graham, this is a few moments ago. take a listen. >> weve humiliated this guy enough, and there seems to be no bottom for some of you. >> if he took a polygraph -- >> why dont we dunk him in the water and see if he floats. >> theres senator lindsey graham, a member of the judiciary committee. hes bec...

That public testimony in last weeks hearing is a substitute for interviews by fbi agents. not only do senators lack the expertise of fbi agents, we were only given five minutes to question judge kavanaugh, so in my view from what i saw, the investigation was very limited and it will be interesting after all of the members have an opportunity to read the documents, and we have an opportunity in public to discuss our conclusions what the findings are. >> thank you, senator feinstein. i just have t...
