and brett kavanaugh's nomination still hanging. not sure if it's by a thread. but something. we will be on it monday. have the best weekend. "hannity" is next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity."s an incredible breaking news night on all fronts. rod rosenstein is in big t trouble tonight as are others as we are witnessing a deep state coup. i'll explain in detail. there is no doubt any longer. by the way, we have a veryth special message for thege president of the united states. he needs not to fall in a trap. according to breaking news from the "new york times" today in the spring of 2017, the deputy attorney general actually plotted to secretly record his conversations with president trump. but there is also more. the "times" is reporting that rod rosenstein floated an idea to invoke the 25th amendment. to remove a sitting president. this president, from office. for months we warn about the deep state characters.

people empowering on the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. and elsewhere. we told you about the conflict of interest surrounding the russia probe. we slammed role in committing fraud on fisa court.t. this is all now going to be proven and told we have been right all along. tonight we have more evidence. it's scary but it is also we are getting close to resolution. we have long said that mueller's witch hunt should never have happened. the investigators needed to be investigated. especially those overseeing the entire mess. in this case, rod rosenstein's blatant anti-trump bias, including andy mccabe, a known liar, and the efforts to take down the president you voted for our now tonight in full view. we have a full cast of characters, sara carter, alan dershowitz, sebastian gorka all weighing in tonight. plus the latest on the confirmation of judge kavanaugh. negotiations are still underway to this hour. for his accuser, professor

ford to appear under oath. there is now a 10:00 p.m. deadline. one hour from now professor ford has to tell the senate whether or not she plans to appear. they have tried to accommodate in every way imaginable. you should hear from dianne feinstein is saying. we'll explain. democrats don't seem to care at all. they have convicted brett kavanaugh in the court of public opinion. no presumption of innocence. no due process. we have a lot to break down. we'll go slow. a lot to get in. stay tuned for the friday night breaking news opening monologue. >> sean: there is one man at the very top of this russian collusion witch hunt. after attorney general jeff sessions recused himself fromt all things russia, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein assumed responsibility after massive conflicts of interest.y remember, it was rod rosenstein who drafted a report detailing

why james comey should be fired. it was rod rosenstein who signed off on the third fisa renewal application, the fourth fisa warrant against carter page. all of this as the nunez memo says the bulk of informationf came from the phoney russian dossier that hillary paid for. the dirty dossier with russian lies. for months, we have literally been shouting from a mountain top. as a matter of fact, well over a you know, that this whole process is and has been corrupt. nobody in this equation can be trusted tonight. now, we have confirmation. "the new yorktr times" reportig today that during meetings with top doj fbi officials, including lisa page, andrew mccabe was a known liar. we know a grand jury has been convened in his case. rod rosenstein planned to push a, quote, according to "the new york times," secretly to record the president of the united states in the white house to expose the chaos consuming the administration and discuss

recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment so they would remove president trump, your dualui elected president from office for, quote, being unfit. this all took place during rosenstein's second week on the job after he fired comey based on rod rosenstein's recommendation. by the way, under article two of our constitution, he didn't even have to like james comey's shoes and he could have fired him for that. rosenstein thought he might be able to persuade kelly and the white house chief of staff to invoke the 25th amendment. two weeks into the job, rod rosenstein wanted to wear a wire, secretly record a sitting president of the united states, invoked the 25th amendment. in otherer words, a silent coup against his boss by him, mccabe, others, all against a

duly elected president. we are experiencing tonight a massive constitutional crisis and, frankly, this is designed to set up the president. i'll explain what this is about in a minute. tonight, rod rosenstein, he is publicly denying this report, calling the story inaccurate, factually inaccurate. he wrote, quote, i never pursued or authorized recording the president.y any suggestion that i have ever advocated for the removal of the president is absolutely false. given the numerous sources, "the new york times" remains adamant in their reporting. two of their sources, one is andrew mccabe and another is lisa page, although, lisa page is not on the 25th amendment side of this. we know mccabe is a known liar. we have other sources telling fox news that rod rosenstein's remarks were made sarcastically. "the new york times" is standing behind the story and the seriousness of rod rosenstein's remarks. take a look at this.

>> this wasn't a flippant remar remark. he was, in fact, very serious. the circumstances are very different than what's being put out by the government. it is important that your listeners understand something, as i was pursuing this story for a very long time people were reluctant to talk about it because of the gravity of the story, that there was concern that if it got out, that rosenstein had wanted to t actually wear a wire and suggested to andy mccabe, the deputy director at the time wear a wire, that rod might get fired. people were sincerely concerned about this, not because he made a flippant remark, because of the seriousness surrounding the remark. >> sean: rod rosenstein, "the new york times" is standing by their story. andrew mccabe is one of the sources. he admitted that today and he said rod meant what he said.

we are going to have a lot more information from "the new york times" report. before appointing mueller to lead the special counsel investigation, rosenstein floated another candidate we find out from "the new york times." his name is james m. cole, well, that is problematic, because while he was deputy attorney general, he was also the private lawyer to blumenthal. neither rod rosenstein, andrew mccabe, lisa page, peter strzok, bruce ohr, are friends of the president. this has been corrupt from the beginning, before the election, after the election. they wanted to take down donald trump. now, it is time tonight for the attorney general to now do his job. mr. sessions, this is your department of justice. under no circumstances, i have a message for the president tonight, under zero

circumstances should the president fire anybody. these actors tonight, and i have multiple sources confirming this, and more information coming, they are hoping and praying that the president does just that, that he gets mad, sick and tired of that and that they can turn this politically into their equivalent of a friday night massacre. the president needs to know it is all a setup. he needs to know that. regardless of whether he steps in or not, and i would argue he should definitely not, the deep state tonight is crumbling from within at this very hour. they are now turning against each other. the president's job and duty of course is to remove all enemies from within. of course, democratic senator, chuck schumer, is in meltdown mode. you would think they care about the truth and would care about fixing and rigging and attempting to rig elections an lying to the american people and propagandizing the american people and misinforming the

american people and having real russian information bought and paid for by one party to destroy another candidate and that fisa court judges are all lied to. chucky doesn't care about that at all. all he cares about isto friends in the deep state. tonight, he released a state that proves just that. this story must not be used as a pretext but the corrupt purpose of firing the deputy attorney general, rosenstein, in order to install an official who will allow the president to interfere with the special counsel's investigation.n. generals kelly, mattis and other white house and cabinet officials have been reported to say critical things of the president without being fired.o hey, chuck, none of them have talked about literally trying to set up a president and tape-record a president and invoke the 25th amendment, chuck.t of course, we know what would happen if rosenstein and others are fired by jeff sessions. jeff sessions actually has-- that's his department. jeff sessions, where are you

tonight? solicitor general would likely take other the job. he doesn't have the baggage or the anti-trump bias that so many others have had from the beginning. with that said, i don't know at this hour who to trust in the fbi or the doj, the rank and file. the people that do their job in the field offices every day, i trust in them. those that are upset about this, the most corrupt abuse of power in this country's history, i believe in them. they are as upset, rightly so, as we now are. the president's decision, monday, do declassified documents, 302s, late into the

fbi-doj handling of the so-called russia probe. today, the president tweeted ou out, concerning the declassification of documents, they release them, but so doing, they have negative impact on the russia probe. key allies, what allies, what countries? they a called to not release th, and therefore the inspector general has been invited to review these on a case-by-case basis. in the end, i can still declassify it if it moves necessary. speed is very important to me and toat everyone. other allies, there has been a lot of chatter. we have allied countries? fourth amendment protection against unreasonable search ani seizure, against using wiretapping against american citizens? is it possible some of their friends in other countries might be thinking tonight that they are going to be exposed?

doing the dirty work and sharing the information that they got that would otherwise be gotten illegally in this country with some of our deep state actors, it raises a lot of questions tonight. l these documents the president requested monday must be released, must be declassified immediately.y this same routine has played out well over a year now, about two years. we have the doj, deepd state actors have done everything in their power, including lie that this will impact sources and methods when it doesn't to prevent them from releasing the information that we, the american people, deserve to see. these actors know they willea e exposed, their corruption, the serious misconduct, mccabe, strzok, page and james comey, himself, the dojdu has delayed, delayed, delayed the release of these important documents over again and again. they have defied congressional subpoenas, obstructed just sis, defied the oversight constitutional authority of congress.

the president cannot let this go on any longer. as we wait, the deep state is winning. they are trying to set up traps even for the president himself. these documents must be made available to you, the americanu people. where is cory booker, spartacus, when we need him? we deserve full transparency for the american people. no more delaying, hiding, lying, obstructing. you, we, the people, deserve to know what these top upper-level people in our government were doing to undermine the people's pick for president. the damming revelations today's surrounding rod rosenstein, it is not the only time the deep state has been caught trying to sabotage president trump. far from it. let's look at this time line we put together. let's start in 2015, the fbi opening a criminal investigation into hillary clinton. we know she violated the law, committed multiple felonies, mishandling top secret, classified special access

program information on her private e-mail server in a mom and pop shop bathroom n a very rare move, the fbi director, james comey, he rips the case away from our honorable fbi field agents, the guys we trust. he took it in house, politicized it himself with the help of andrew mccabe, peter strzok and others. they couldn't fix it despite overwhelming evidence of guilt. they end up exonerating hillary clinton. they were writing and that a exoneration in may of 2016. they never interviewed her or 17 other key witnesses until july. remember, it was strzok and comey. they worked on the draft in may before the july exoneration. they were changing it from the gross negligence legal term to the more innocuous just careless, just like sandy berger, puts documents in his pants, socks and walks out and says, i'm just being sloppy. really? inople put private documents

their pants and they are sloppy. the very same time, the clinton campaign along with the dnc funneling money through a law firm. it wasn't a legal expense. they hire fusion gps to do op research who hired an ex-foreign spy. i thought they weren't supposed to influence our elections. his name is christopher steel and the wife of a high-ranking doj officials, nellie ohr, to put together a campaign op research document against donald trump filled with lies and rumors, never verified norh corroborated. none of it. even steele himself said, i don't know if any of this is true. maybe 50/50. that dossier was spread throughout the highest levels of our federal government. all these deep state actors like nellie ohr's husband, who became

the conduit for christopher steele, bruce ohr, the fourth highest ranking official at the doj, that dossier was leaked to the press. why? to lie to you, the american people, and influence an election. to help hillary. this is kind of like what she did to bernie. it was used as the basis of the fisa warrants against the trump campaign associate, carter page, signed off on byra multie officials, including comey, including mccabe, including yates and rod rosenstein himself. after the election, the dossier the then used again as basis, the fundamental basis for what we now know to be mueller's witch hunt or even brief mueller deputy, andrew weissman. he made his way right into special counsel mueller's office, andrew weissman. he got the contents from the dossier from hillary through steele to robert mueller's office, all in an effort to take down the president you elected.

we have a lot more throughout the show tonight. we have other top breaking news tonight. for a week, the republicans have tried to accommodate in every way imaginable judge kavanaugh's accuser, professor christine ford. clearly, one of her liberal lawyers, debra katz, and senator dianne feinstein are playing politics. the sad thing is, this is such a serious accusation. it should be handled in a nonpartisan way, pursued just for the sake of pursuing truth and justice and as susan collins has said, and she is absolutely right, it is unfair what dianne feinstein and others have been doing. i i have sources telling me that professor ford's attorney keeps moving the bar. all over the place. at this hour, no deal has been struck with professor ford's attorney to testify. senator grassley has had to extend the deadline. it is now 10:00 p.m. tonight. senator grassley released a statement earlier.

this is what it reads. quote, despite the fact that the july 30th letter remains hidden, my committee has been investigating the allegations and has heard from multiple witnesses since sunday. miss katz has discussed dr.ford's allegations inn numerous media interviews and said on tv monday morning that dr.ford wants to share herat account with the senate judiciary committee. it is friday night. nothing has been agreed to despite our extensive effortss to make testimony possible. i'm extending the deadline for response yet again to 10:00 this evening. i'm providing a notice of a vote to occur month in the event that dr.ford's attorney doesn't respond or dr.ford decide not to testify. we can come to a reasonable resolution, as i have been seeking all week, that i will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony.

we can not continue to delay. senator grassley has been gracious, rightly so, in accommodating in multiple ways. if her lawyers keep moving the goalpost and don't give answers and keep making new demand and they don't show up, what are lawmakers to do? by the way, isn't it really unfair for the accuser to be heard literally after the accused? no. i think the accuser should have the right to respond to the accusations that are made. senators grassley and grahamam said they will not concede that point. my sources are telling me the conclusion of many republican lawmakers is that professor ford's liberal attorney, not in any way, i want professor ford to be heard. i want her story told in a fair manner. she has been offered all sorts of opportunities, in private, in public. they will come to her. she doesn't have to ever go before a television camera but her attorney has adopted a strategy.

it is called running out the clock. by the way, the republicans see it for what it is, to blameun e gop for not making proper accommodations when they have done just opposite. it shouldn't surprise anyonene that republicans think this.ne after all, this lawyer, debra katz, is highly partisan, long-time democratic activist, tens of thousands of dollars in donations, clearly has a political agenda. her views on sexual assault and misconduct allegations have been inconsistent. to put it mildly. here are a few examples of what i mean. she said about paula jones, her suit is very weak. she has alleged one incident in a hotel room that lasted 10 or 12 minutes. she suffered no repercussionss in the work place. she said of jones accusations, clearly a one-time incident that took place in 10-12 minutes. she was not forced to have sex. she left of her own volition. the courts are finding that is not enough to create a sexually hostile work claim.

then, she defended al franken. context is relevant. he not do this as a member of a senate but in the capacity as someone who was still functioning as an entertainer. excuse me. al franken was a senator when this, in fact, occurred. that's issue one. issue two, we are going to talk about what it is bill clinton did the paula jones. he dropped his pants, exposed himself to a woman he didn't know, and said, kiss it. now, paula jones won a settlement agreement of $850,000. but, the point here is that the lawyer for professor ford while clearly she has a political agenda, inconsistent views on this topic. the daily caller todayay uncovered that back in 2017, this same lawyer vowed to resist president trump. take a look for yourself.

>> finally, over the finish line, the new attorney general this morning grateful to the colleagues who fought for him. >> i can't express how appreciative i am for those of you who have stood by me during this difficult time. >> it was a better feud to the very end. >> we are going to fight back. we are going to resist. >> sean: that's her resisting. why does this attorney keep moving the goalpost for an interview?ha on monday, she said professor ford will be willing to testify and do it publicly and under oath. then, demands they start to w change throughout the week making it almost impossible for professor ford's allegation to be heard. she does deserve to be heard. tonight, things have even gotten worse. senator feinstein, who has been delaying and obstructing, why hasn't senator feinstein turned over the full letter to republican senators on the

judiciary committee, like grassley? feinstein knew about this o allegation back from july. it is september. senator feinstein never bothered to raise any of these allegations with judge kavanaugh privately or in public hearings. there were numerous opportunities for her to do so. the democrats have turned this into a political circus. we saw it at the hearings. they have rushed to convict judge kavanaugh without even a hearing, not hearing either side of their story. c dianne feinstein took it to the next level tonight after all the accommodations offered byte the republicans and charles grassley and the president being accommodating on his end, saying he wants her to be heard. well, it was entitled feinstein on republican bullying of sexual assault survivor. well, obviously, there is no point in her having a hearing. she has already decided who is guilty, who is believable and who is not. they are offering to speak with her.

listen what democratic senator whitehouse had to say just yesterday. listen to this.at >> if the democrats win back the house and or the senate, democrats will investigate whae happened, the charges that professor ford is laying out, even if that means investigating a supreme court justice at this time. >> i am confident of that. i think we will also be investigating why the fbi stood down its background investigation. t when this came up in this particular background. >> sean: another senator has made up her mind, senator kirsten gillibrand of new york. she says, she believes kavanaugh's accuser. she has made up her mind. denying dr.ford an investigation is silencing her. the fbi said it is not in their purview. there is no crime within their jurisdiction, forcing her into a sham hearing. now, senator gillibrand made up her mind. she said it is silencing her,

to offer a hearing and pushing brett kavanaugh's confirmation through. if you allow in every single accommodation private, notot private, we'll go to you, you can come to us, moving the days and dates. the person doesn't want to talk. that was the right thing to do by the republicans. offering a platform to tell your story is not silencing somebody. unfortunately, that is not all. democrats are convicting judge kavanaugh before any side has been heard. forget about due process and the presumption of innocence. take a look. >> the senate shouldn't rely on hearing two conflicting accounts and decide, well, we are okay with not knowing. we are okay with the fact thata we might be putting someone whe committed attempted rape on the supreme court of the united states. >> i believe her. anybody who comes forward at this point to be prepared to

testify in the united states senate against someone who is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government, that takes an extraordinary amount of courage. >> not only women like dr.ford who come forward need to be heard, but they need to be believed. they need to ber. believed. >> to the men of this country, justice shut up and a step up. do the right thing. >> let me say right at the outset, i believe dr.ford. i believe the survivor here. there is every reason to believe her.d. she has come forward courageously and bravely. >> i believe her. i stand with her. >> you hope she shows up on monday? >> i don't think she should be bullied into this scenario where it is a he said, she said. it is a sham hearing. i don't think she should participate. >> i believe professor ford. i think she is credible. when the investigation is finished and when she testifies

and judge kavanaugh testifies, i think a majority of senators will find her credible and i don't think-- i never thought kavanaugh should get appointed. >> sean: all of these democrats say they believe her. they have already made up their minds. interestingly, it is the republicans that are being fair and open and offering opportunities for both sides to heard. can you imagine if republicans came out one after another, they believe judge kavanaugh? they would be eviscerated tonight. the double standard is so blatantly obvious. where's all the outrage from the left, allegations made against keith ellison? this past month in august, accused by his longtime girlfriend of repeated domestic and verbal abuse. this is the bottom line. what is happening right now is not fair to professor ford. it is not fair to judge rkavanaugh. the allegations arefo serious. this shouldn't be about

politics and rushing to judgment and no due process and no presumption of innocence, they should not be about hiding letters and lawyers not getting back to a senate committee after so much accommodation. this should be about getting to the truth. this should be about justice. this should be about putting good people on the supreme court. s this is too serious an allegation, too serious an issue to be playing politics. now, the families of judge kavanaugh and professor ford, they are all receiving death threats, which needs to stop. enough already. this is becoming a sick, twisted, ugly partisan, one side cares about only one side, power.si that is why and 46 days, this election matters on so many levels. here with reaction to all of this breaking news, the author of the number one "new york times" best seller "the russia hoax, the illicit scheme to frame donald trump,"

fox news contributor. sara carter, the author of "the deep state," fox news contributor, jason chaffetz. i have had multiple sources telling me when all this information is out, it will all be clear and apparent to everybody. >> absolutely. >> sean: what the left was hoping for with rod rosenstein, the president would jump in and they would get a friday night massacre and flip it on the president. >> what you are hearing is what i am hearing as well, sean. people need to put this in perspective. let's go back to may, 2017. rod rosenstein's letter to have comey fired to the president. rod rosenstein, everything that happened back then happened for a purpose. he sent that letter according to my sources, it goes right

with "the new york times" story. he was very adamant. he was on the president's sidet now we have mccabe. remember, mccabe wrote these then. he didn't write them now. i don't buy the department of justice's explanation that he was just joking around. i also believe that they are trying to trap the president. they are trying to corner him. remember, mccabe is facing a grand jury.he he is a liar and he has been caught lying and he leaked to the media. that's a fact. he is facing the grand jury now. he doesn't want to be the only guy to go down. he wants to take everyone else with him.'t i think the president has no other choice here and the department of justice but to launch a full investigation according to my sources, a complete investigation and thei make his decision after that investigation or if evidence arises that this is what rod rosenstein asked people to do, wiretap the president, or he, himself, would wiretap the president and try to push people toward removing the president from office citing the 25th amendment.

the president eventually needs to fire him.si that absolutely must happen. >> sean: but not the time, congressman chaffetz. by the way, both of your books have done so well because of the truth that is in it. the president on both issues needs to stay out of it. they set a trap for him today. they wanted him to fire rod rosenstein. now, andrew mccabe and lisa page and strzok have contemporaneous notes from this meeting. we need to examine them, but it really shows the need for two things. one, what the president called for to be released needs to be released. number two, we need a special counsel like yesterday or year ago. >> first of all, attorney jeff sessions is there in name only. he is absolutely worthless.ns instead of running that agency, he goes around and gives speeches. he is worthless there. i do believe in michael horowitz. he uncovered it.

>> sean: it took him 18 months. >> he is the reason we have a lot of these text messages. at the same time, we absolutely need all of these documents to go to congress. i don't buy into this delay. we are going to come back aon month from now, at the heart of this, a few months into the presidency, you have seven people, i believe it was six, sitting around months after donald trump has taken the presidency discussing how to take down donald trump. that's how serious this is. i wish that all of them would be wiped clean and get rid of all of them. >> sean: let me ask, hands out, yes or no, was this an attempted coup? first to stop the president from getting elected, and then to destroy him by the upper echelon paul as of doj and fbi? >> i say yes. >> yes. >> it has all of the markings of it, sean. it has all of the markings of it.

>> sean: sara? >> i don't totally trust "the new york times." >> absolutely. >> sean: based on everything we know about mccabe, comey, strzok, page, ohr, steel? you., we will throw it to >> it is the equivalent of an attempted coup. saboteurs within the department of justice and the fbi working furiously to undo the election results and frame trump for colluding with russia to win the election, even though they had no evidence at all. the only thing they had was a phoney dossier they knew washa fabricated and written by a liar and funded by hillary clinton's campaign. rod rosenstein certainly deserves to be fired, even suggesting what the president--es >> sean: the president needs to stay out of it. >> i didn't hear you. >> sean: you disagree.

it needs to be jeff sessions. the president, if he does it, the deep state wants him to do it so they can bludgeon him. >> i don't care who fires him, whether it is sessions or the president, it may not be politically expedient at this time. he certainly deserves to be fired. by the way, as a consequence of his actions, the special counsel investigation should be terminated because he has corrupted and tainted the integrity of it. >> sean: that i agree with, too. sara? >> sean, this was a silent coup, a bloodless coup. they were trying to do it. they got caught. they didn't know how to do it. everything is coming out now and we need an investigation, a special counsel to take over and find out the truth. >> sean: the last word, jason. >> find out everybody in that meeting and one at a time under oath bring themve before congrs and make them explain what was going on there. it certainly has all the suspicions and markings. >> sean: and release the documents. demand the documents. the people deserve to see them yesterday. thank you all.

this friday night, the a.p. now reporting that the lawyer for ♪ >> sean: this is a fox news alert. the ap now reporting thatin professor ford is requesting one extra day to consider the terms given to them by senator grassley. i am going to offer some unsolicited advice. senator grassley and lindsey graham, you have been very accommodating. you have extended every deadline. i would give professor ford's attorney one more day. let them have it. v one more day.co for the very latest, we go to kristin fisher in our washington bureau tonight. kristin? >> this deadline has been moving all day long. it started with close of business and then pushed back to just 25 minutes from now.

now, with just minutes closing on what kavanaugh's accuser's legal team is calling an arbitrary deadline, they finally got back to senate republicans and ask for what you just reported, an extra day. they, also, as i have said, they have called this an arbitrary friday deadline. i want to go through exactly what senate republicans were offering in regards to this hearing that was set to take place or that they want to take place on wednesday. they want it to take place with a female attorney doing they questioning and they want ford to testify first and then kavanaugh. ford's legal team wants a thursday hearing with no outside attorneys asking questions and they want judge kavanaugh to go first. democrats are blasting that offer. senator blumenthal says the arbitrary deadline is a rush to silence a survivor, no basis in law or fact or simple humanity. republicans remain confident that judge kavanaugh will still

be confirmed. listen to what h mitch mcconnel said to conservatives just today. >> my friends, keep the faith. don't get rattled by all of this. we're going to plow right through it and do our job. >> now, the senate judiciary chairman had said that if ford's legal team had not gotten back to him by this 10:00 p.m. deadline, they werei going to go ahead and vote on monday. now, ford's legal team has gotten back to him. it wasn't the kind of response i'm sure he was hoping for. it remains to be seen exactly how senator grassley is going to respond. sean? >> sean: kristin fisher in washington. thank you. withth more reaction, the author of the best-selling book "the case l against impeaching trump" harvard law professor, alan dershowitz, and fox law contributor, tammy bruce. i know that senator grassley has given every consideration, private, public, move from monday to wednesday, et cetera.

i do believe that judge kavanaugh should go second. my advice is this. give them the extra day. 24 hours, if that's what they are asking for. 10:00 tomorrow night. fine. give them another 24 hours. this has to be the last time. >> i don't know what really the drama is, another 24 hours, that's fine. she has known this process has started all the way back in july. she has been in control of this timeline. from the beginning. if this was handled properly, when senator feinstein had this letter, we wouldn't be at these kind of time lines. this could have been addressed through the natural process. the request she made also waski literally set up an actual kangaroo court, where youue change the rules, the principals, the process of a court hearing or just a hearing in general when you are dealing with accusations like this. clearly, it is absurd when you see those demands.

it almost seemed as though they wanted them to be objected so they could say the committee didn't want to hear it. >> sean: i am told that is the democratic strategy. so many democrats have already said they believe her. >> it is absurd for anybody to say at this point i believebe r or i believe him or i don'tur believe her or i don't believe him. we haven't heard them. we haven't seen the evidence. people aren't born with a sex-linked gene for honesty or dishonesty. some women lie. some women tell the truth. some men lie. some men tell the truth.sh one thing there should be no compromise on, and every civil libertarian and every democrat should demand she must go first. the tool of the inquisition was to always call the accused first. make him testify, make him a ly out his whole case and only then tell him what the accusation is by the accuser. l

>> sean: it has to scare the living daylights, you agree with me as much as you do lately but i am a civil libertarian at heart. >> not everything. >> sean: i know. this is too serious to me. i am urging the republicans to give the extra day but all these democrats have made up their mind. if any republican had said, professor dershowitz, i believe him, you and i both know there would be a very different reaction in this country. >> and they have said it. t they have said it when it comes to the newly elected attorney general, keith ellison. they are not opening up an investigation as to him and there is very credible evidence. look, we can have one truth for republicans an one truth for democrats and one process for republicans and one process for democrats. we all have to pass the shoe on the other foot test. i ask myself, what if this were a liberal democrat who were nominated by a liberal president. what would i be demanding? exactly the same.

due process, civil liberties, the rule of law. >> if i could just add, if people think giving this extra day is going to complaining what the democrats say after he is confirmed, they are wrong. no matter what happens, the rhetoric and argument is the same, that the gop are misogynists andt racists. it won't matter what you do. at this stage, they simply must do the right thing. a "huffington post" found on the issue of credibility of the accuser, which is what i was afraid of, about 25% of women found her credible and 28% of men found her credible. so the majority, the vast majority of people aren't believing her because this charade has been unfolding in front of us. we have got to get on with the country's business. they have to take that seriously. there is no appeasing the people who are behind this.

>> she has an opportunity to make her case. she has to be given a full opportunity to have witnesses subpoenaed. judge, the other man, anybody else who was there, they have to be given the opportunity to testify, as well. >> sean: especially all those people that have spoken out in favor of judge kavanaugh knowing him in college and high school and the bush administration. >> and professor kavanaugh himself. he needs to be heard. >> and everybody benefits if you have real lawyers examining. >> sean: that's fair. don't rush to judgment. due process. presumption of innocence. this is core to who we are as a country. >> exactly. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, sebastian gorka, much more this friday night on "hannity." ♪ benjamin franklin captured lightening in a bottle. over 260 years later, with a little resourcefulness,

>> sean: after the accused. >> yes. no, it is not happening. >> sean: he has a right to respond to his i accuser. >> right. that's the basis of our law. you have the right to respond to the person who accuses you and respond to them in real time. after that, the theatrics have to end. nothing is going to change whatever the outcome is.s. this is just a ploy, a tactic. it is a very clever one. the idea that you accuse anybody of a potential crime without giving the date or the location means it is almost impossible for the accused to refute that, because yout can't substantiate that. >> sean: we don't even know the year, dr. dr. gorka. we don't even have a year. >> how do you build an alibi? you listen to the accused, the person who has been accused gets to address that accusation but then it ends and we move

forward. >> sean: doug? >> i must tell you i would give dr.ford more than a day or two. >> sean: she is asking for one more day.. they have moved the deadline repeatedly. they have accommodated her. >> i am trying to help you, trust me. the republicans are already polls. on water in the if there is not more of an effort to hear dr. ford, and if the nomination is pushed through without hearing her, the republicans will lose. for our politics and country, i would give her until monday. it will benefit the cause you believe in. >> sean: they have asked for one more day. to their credit, i think they have handled it perfectly. we see a different political view for the attorney for professor ford, number one. putting that aside. especially with paula jones and al franken. what did you make of "the new york times" blockbuster about

"the new york times," why aree they burning rod rosenstein right now? martha may be right. this may be a political trap for the president. but doug is also correct. this guy is so conflicted from the get-go, the man that signed the fisa warrant and escorted his best friend, escorted mueller to the interview with the president that he failed when--
