Due diligence. i think this committee has done a good job, but i do think that we can have a short pause and make sure that the fbi can investigate. >> the investigation that flake requested into credible sexual misconduct allegations against kavanaugh is now under way. the white house has said it will be, quote, limited in scope and completed in less than one week. but on that scope question, its not entirely clear what that means. will the investigation be confined to the allegations from dr. ...

Your position, and you appear to be, why arent you also asking the fbi to investigate these claims? >> senator, ill do whatever the committee wants. the committee investigates. its not for me to say how to do it. just so you know, the fbi doesnt reach a conclusion. >> if there is no truth to her charges, the fbi investigation will show that. are you afraid they will not. >> the fbi does not reach -- you know thats a phony question because the fbi doesnt reach conclusions. >> calling for an fbi i...

Country. for the court to be in this vein, to be another super house of representatives, how depressing is that. thats not a question but a statement. >> i have so many things to say but let me focus on your question. it does get back to some of the things carrie was saying. this is not a political campaign. brett kavanaugh is not running for office. you wouldnt have known that from his statement when he sat down. that is part of whats shocking, his behavior, hostility, anger, judges are allowed...

That support a version of events very similar to my client. and now let me say this. if the fbi investigation is not curtailed by the white house or others, if they are permitted to do their job as they do every day in this country, brett kavanaugh will not survive this process. he will not. if they are permitted to interview witnesses that know of these allegations, there is no way that brett kavanaugh will be placed on the u.s. supreme court, nor should he. >> im going to bring a panel in a se...

Appropriately pursuant to a proper fbi investigation. >> just to be clear, i was certainly not saying that i dont believe it and i just want a clarification and your explanation makes a lot of sense to me actually. >> you know what, i want to go to maya on a question about this. the montgomery county district attorney has indicated an openness to hear a criminal complaint related to these crimes. i dont think theres a statute of limitations on rape, right? >> theres no statute of limitations on ...

Waiting for the fbi to contact her. now, i was pleased to see what happened yesterday afternoon, that the committee vote proceeded. however, theres a one-week delay. but i want to tell you this, im very concerned about this scope question. when i hear people throw around things like, well, the fbi is going to investigate credible allegations, well, hold on a minute. the fbi is supposed to determine whats credible or not. if they dont get a chance or if theyre told not to speak to certain individ...

Play, im start with you, mimi, and how they might play into this fbi investigation. >> id like to start with a question to michael if i could, because i think its important to clarify something. michael, youre a great lawyer and im sure this affidavit is worded very carefully. theres a statement in there that ive heard some people debating. she says, i think its paragraph 13, in approximately 1982 i became the victim of one of these gang or train rapes where mark judge and brett kavanaugh were p...

Charges, the fbi investigation will show that. are you afraid they might not? >> come on. you know thats a phony question, because the fbi doesnt reach conclusions. >> judge kavanagh, will you support an fbi investigation right now? >> i will do whatever the committee wants. >> personally do you think thats the best thing for us to do? you wont answer? >> look, senator, i -- ive said i wanted a hearing and i said i would welcome anything. im innocent. >> kavanaugh also got into it with several s...

Say. look at ruth bader ginsburg. she will talk to you all about the fact that she got confirmed with such a wide margin. she was a lawyer for the aclu. kagan was in the white house. >> she didnt go after senators and talk about very specific political conspiracies. the clinton comment. and i just thought it was very interesting that he clearly understood or was told that. he took it many steps too far in being belligerent to the senators when he went after amy klobuchar when she was asking him ...
