kavanaugh? a former director of national intelligence james clapper has a lot to say on that next. why bother mastering something? because when you want to create an entirely new feeling, the difference between excellence and mastery, is all the difference in the world. introducing the all-new lexus es. a product of mastery. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if

kavanaugh. she claimed the activities of democrats and dr. ford's attorneys likely affected her testimony. she does point out a senate hearing is not a trial and especially not a prosecution. >>> fbi director james comey calls the one week deadline for the one week deadline for the kavanaugh investigation i hdiot. he does not like the idea of a shot clock on the fbi. he knows agents know time has low lev little to do with memory. significance drives memory. they know that little lies point bigger lies. they know that obvious lies by the nominee about the meaning of words in a year book are a flashing signal to dig deeper. >> with the kavanaugh nomination in limbo and 36 days until the midterms, democrats are using the issue to the pitch to voters. former vice president joe biden rallied the faithful in providence, rhode island last night. >> just last week, we witnessed from the republicans on the senate judiciary committee a degree of invective blind rage and brut partisanship that threatens the senate, but the basic faith the american people have on the institutions. ♪ vote them out ♪ when we're done we'll sing and dance and shout ♪ >> vote them out. willie nelson debuting a new election theme

kavanaugh. for both parties. that's what came down to. i don't think anyone anticipated at all that it would turn out this way. 2016, james comey, who we willt, made it all about the hillary clinton investigation. russian emails, 2014. other times we are running against obamacare. this is all about kavanaugh. movement to motivates both sides. what i think was missing for republicans in this midterm election was a motivating factor, and this has done it. the one thing i disagree on democrats is that for heidi heitkamp, for tennessee, for arizona, for missouri, as we do so and the polling that melissa mentioned, these key senate races that democrats are having to fend off -- i think this whole thing, no matter what happens at the end of the week or next week, i think it's a motivator for republican voters. >> melissa: harris? >> harris: real quickly, i think kevin mccarthy was on to something. what he's talking about isn't just where republicans should be focused. democrats have be careful, too. former president barack obama, just this week, has endorsed alexandria across the el cortez. the democratic socialist in their party that kind of lit

when it comes to brett kavanaugh, he emphatically denied it. >> your reaction, james? an fbi investigation is appropriate and conducted unfeetunfeet -- unfetered political influence. i could see the political process averted here. this should have been handled in a different way from the onset of the allegations coming to the attention of senator dianne feinstein. >> the republicans control the senate and senate judiciary committee. this is a republican party who would not hold meetings on merrick garland. the process has been broken for a while. this investigation should have happened before the hearings so they could have been material for the hearings rather than now which i still don't really see what this is going to do. you need questions. you need testimony. you need the public to ultimately see what all this means. i think the process is broken. i would put more blame on the republicans who ultimately have control. majority has the power. not the democrats. >> do we get through it because last week was exhausting and emotional toll for americans this weekend. e

kavanaugh. ainsley: james comey is weighing in on it. he wrote a op-ed in the "new york times" he's back.o clock and the investigation wouldn't have been sought after the senate judiciary committee already endorsed the nominee. although the process is deeply flawed and apparently designed to thwart the fact-gathering process. the fbi suspect for this. it's not as hard as republicans hope it will be. brian: by the way, just so unbelievable that james comey, the man who led the hillary clinton investigation and then had agents plot and plan to take down president trump before he was president trump, would actually be looking -- people are seeking his advice on how to conduct an infinite investigation. meanwhile, not to brag i spoke to chris schweikart earlier fbi special agent he says enough with keith olbermann. with comey, listen. >> i talk to retired agents and current agents all the time. i have dealings with them. jim comey has lost any support he has ever in that community. he think he is off the rails and become a partisan political commentator. that has never happened in the history

kavanaugh. she is defending him. first we start with james roche. his strongest memory at yale during 1983 was his drinking. roche said he was stunned to hear his old roommate testify last week that he was a moderate drinker with no capacity for disrespecting women in his college days. >> brett stood out for his drinking. people drank a lot then. i drank a fair amount then. but brett's drinking was unusual. >> he's not that guy. i'm telling you. did he drink, yes. did he take take it too far, no. he had aspirations even back then to get into an ivy league school, go to law school, follow in the footsteps of his mother and be a judge. he was smart enough to know the consequences of doing anything that would jeopardize his dreams. >> he said he knew deborah ramirez and that he believes her allegations. you heard from kavanaugh's friend suzanne mat ton. she said kavanaugh is not that guy. she does not believe he sexually assaulted dr. christine blasey ford back in high school. cornell bernard, abc 7 news >>> the saneeo county district attorney's office

former college roommate who says kavanaugh committed perjury under oath when it comes to his alcohol consumption. >> i knew he knew he wasn't telling the truth. >> that was james roche the san mateo software company's ceo and former college roommate of brett kavanaugh. last night on cnn, you publicly contradicted kavanaugh's testimony in front of the senate judiciary committee when kavanaugh said he likes beer but denied becoming blackout drunk. >> i can tell you that -- that he would come home and he was, um, um, incoherent, um, stumbling, um, he would sometimes be singing. he occasionally would wear this i think it was an old leather football helmet and, um, um, he would throw up. >> kavanaugh's testimony came as he denied any sexual misconduct against palo alto professor christine blasey ford when they were in high school. earlier white house press secretary sarah sanders defended president trump after he mocked dr. ford's testimony at a rally in mississippi. the president's speech drew criticism from key undecided republicans and from the first law enforcement to hear dr. ford's story, palo alto congresswoman anna eshoo. >> the president of the united deni

kavanaugh is guilty of this charges. he's just the same as the democrats. >> as joe pointed out, james, is a hack. i think it's laughable that the people who are praising him or thinking he's anything of substance of the same people that have been attacking him attacked him throughout the hillary clinton investigation. he's basically irrelevant here. with new development, what they need to do is take a step back and realize the fact that all this, what are the underlying facts of the issue. the facts remain none of these three stories have any corroborating witnesses or anyone stepping forward saying these events actually happened. all the stories that will ultimately pop which was the desire of the democrats wanting to have the fbi investigation to further delay things can we have to look at the underlying fact in the fact remains there's nothing to corroborate the story from christine ford, deborah ramirez or julie swetnick. >> you agree with that. >> i do and quite frankly, her testimony the other day was far from credible. she's a very, very disturbed woman with clear emotional and psychologic

these concerns shared by kavanaugh's freshman roommate james roche. >> that if i were looking to understand the facts i would look for people who had firsthand information about it and try to determine what they know and didn't know and that hasn't happened. >> reporter: roche says he was stunned to hear his old roommate paint a picture of himself as a moderate drinker with no capacity for disrespecting women in his college days. >> you're asking about blackouts. i don't know. have you? >> reporter: roche said that testimony drove him to come forward. >> it surprised me a lot to hear him say that he never blacked out, because, you know, i would be in the room and he would come down and he was slurring and he was yelling and making loud noises and, you know, yeah, very drunk. >> reporter: it was always going to be a challenge for investigators to find corroboration for allegations so old and where some of the key possible witnesses were admittedly drunk. but the speed and the political pressure on the fbi here seems to have left some possible witnesses unheard and perhaps some stones unturne
