Bernstein, cnn political analyst. good to see both of you. thank you for coming on this evening. so, dan, republican senator susan collins tweeted this today. i am very concerned by reports that deputy a.g. rosenstein will either be fired or forced to resign. so it seems like republicans are very concerned about a variety of things. why aren't they acting on that concern, though? >> well, it's a little lack of courage, but i think we're ahead of ourselves. i will say, don, oscar wild once wrote that the truth is rarely pure and never simple. and so it is with so much in this case, the kavanaug...

Obstruction. i'm saying that as a layman. and i suppose if rosenstein were fired, you know, that could be the case. now, if rosenstein ostensibly, in air quotes, voluntarily resigns, then maybe that's -- you know, that casts a different light on this issue. >> i think that might be tough because then he gets to determine what he can and cannot say. if they fire him, maybe they can set the terms. maybe if he just quits, he'll say, look, i can say what i want. i'm a free agent. who knows? who knows? who knows? thank you. >> exactly. >> go on. >> well, no. you're right. i'm just agreeing with you...

>> because they have lived it. it's what happened during trumps election campaign. >> in this case the latest revelation, there's nobody to corroborate it. it's always something that jurors consider. this is a political exercise i realize but, we do borrow some principles from the law. while that's a foundation of democracy is presumption of innocence. when you listen to people like senator jell-o brand of new york who stood in front of the cameras and pronounce that the accuser was telling the truth and she believed her without ever talking to the accuser, jell-o brand must've slept through t...

Bit. we have really good stuff for that later in the show. she think at the end of this time it's not provable is it? >> there is not a prosecutor in this country that would take these cases to court. it's not a criminal investigation. but there is little to no evidence. you want to hear from this and they have bent over backwards and adjusting the rules of the senate to accommodate her. private do we do it in california or washington, d.c. but you don't come into the negotiation and start to say this is who can ask questions and who can't. >> i'm fairly familiar with the statute of limitation...
