I thought it would be really smart to have somebody come in that knows what the hell theyre doing to ask the questions, to be respectful. you know, i dont know what dr. ford expected us to do with an anonymous letter. if she wanted to stay anonymous, those who betrayed her need to apologize, but she will be treated respectfully, but she will be challenged, just like judge kavanaugh. >> all right. so this is clearly an attempt by some to avoid a repeat of the optics of the anita hill hearings. do...

Consider, if all brett kavanaugh has is his credibility against dr. fords, his credibility is the thing that needs to be impeached. >> somewhat unnenergetic start o our hour. we will continue this conversation throughout this hour. who will question christine blasey ford? we were just talking about that. all the republicans on the senate judiciary committee are men. the strategy they are considering to avoid a repeat of the 1991 anita hill hearing. lowt trades and high-yield savings. but if that...

Christine blasey ford announced she has agreed to provide her firsthand account of her allegation of sexual misconduct involving kavanaugh in high school, an allegation he categorically denies. details of how or when she will provide that account to the judiciary committee are being worked out. republicans on the senate judiciary committee hope to head off a repeat of what happened in 1991. thats when anita hill sat there, facing rough treatment by the committee after she raised allegation of se...

Repeat, you want to be respectful. remember, this isnt a court of law, this is advice and consent. the manner of the questions, they have the ability to investigate, to have information and memos. it is not necessary to ask these type of questions because were not in a criminal trial where the burden is beyond a reasonable doubt, this is advice and consent. >> senator hatch and grassley sat on the senate judiciary committee in 91, also still sit on the current senate judiciary committee. im goin...

That sexual allegation charge in a political debate i think is highly inappropriate. what is the sense you get on the hill in terms of how serious a moment this is for judge kavanaughs confirmation? >> very serious moment, because the best possible outcome here frankly for republicans was that dr. ford simply didnt show. now within the past 24 hours weve learned that is not the case, that shes simply trying to set the terms of her appearance such that this is not a repeat of 27 years ago with an...

>> i dont know how an fbi investigation would help unless they locate witnesses that corroborate or contradict. there are no forensics to analyze. the fbi cant interview her and brett cavanagh and repeat what they say. you cant determine credibility that way. i hope she will testify. i think she will be treated fairly. >> reporter: democrats on the committee say republicans on the committee are not treating her fairly. >> they are giving her an option. the option is show up monday or dont show u...

Life. >> david jolly, i feel the need to just go back and remind everybody, just take a moment. the president this week called the fbi a cancer in our country. there are agents tonight all over this country preparing for court cases in the morning, serving warrants tonight with their fbi jackets on, needing to enforce the law. this cant help their lives. >> you cannot undo the damage that donald trump has done to the law enforcement community and to career law enforcement agents, both at the fbi...

Do, just saying, you know what, were just going to say, the floor is yours, lawyers, and not do their job in asking questions, what do you think? >> dana, i agree. at some point in senattime, the senators would have a role to play. but it would be great if the bulk of the questioning were done by not just lawyers, but people who are really experts in this kind of matter, people who understand how to deal with a witness who has been through what dr. ford says shes been through, and how to do it i...

Agents, both at the fbi, but in other court of law enforcement agencies as well. these are public servants who protect us and frankly protect the president of the united states himself, and while we can have discussions about it, the reality is the presidents words matter particularly to his base, and they get repeated on other networks that are happy to defend the president and repeat whatever he suggests. the reality is for a president who enjoys wrapping himself in the law enforcement communi...
