why did they not speak to christine blasey ford or kavanaugh? that must be the first investigation the fbi never talked to the accuser or the accused. >> tucker: i can't answer that. i think in the case of christine blasey ford, she didn't want to talk to them. she was clearly -- >> that wasn't a choice of hers. >> tucker: i agree with you. i am certainly not here to defend the fbi on many levels.

. >> for context, the christine blasey ford story came out in the "washington post" with her name onhe record into the descriptioand thedescription ofs on september 16. i think it was days before that, i'm not sure if it was 14 or before that, the intercept reported on the existence of a letter that we would later learn to be the christine blasey ford allegations that there were o nt a lot of these known at the time. >> so those from yale were talking and it was floating around come and we definitely heard that in the course of mine reporting that there is a whole part in our bob where we talk about there were some parts that made the theory that i should say justice kavanaugh now, but we called him brett but he was trying to preempt these obligations in advance. as far back as july, there was a kind of communication about don't say anything bad. >> don't say anything bad about brett, among the people at yale? just answer the question how i came to the story which would seem a little out of the blue. i grew up here. this is b my hometown. and i was national cathedral school class of

leland kaiser was a woman who is alleged to be at the christine blasey ford gathering.make a long story short, she has said consistently she doesn't remember that evening and can't say based on any clear memory whether it did or did not happen or anything like it happened. but upon reflection she's become dubious of the accuracy of the blasey ford per trail. she told that to the fbi in a second meeting. >> that she sought out. >> that's right. after reflecting at the matter looking at old photos of younger brett kavanaugh and thinking back to those times. she had a number of reasons why she wasn't confident in the story including just the circumstances like ford had talked about living in the columbia country club on that day. i think we as a public last fall had the impression that the party started at the club with the six people had migrated to a house in the events unfolded. kaiser said, i was a member of the columbia club and i did go there and christine was on the diving team i would occasionally go by and actually critique her diving, leland was a real athlete an

well, let's talk about the mystery woman, christine blasey ford. there were rumors about her in the middle of the hearing, i believe, and apparently as you said, dianne feinstein's office had gotten this complaint. at some point her name came out, and there was a long procedure about would he or would she not testify. she came and testified. i think a lot of people who watched it on television said, my goodness, she's got a very vivid memory of a painful experience in high school. she was about 15, she says. brett kavanaugh was then about 17. she says she was sort of grabbed or attacked in this room and roughed up or something, and it lasted 5 or 10 minutes. but to this day she has seemed to have a particularly vivid memory of it. and judge kavanaugh said it never happened. he didn't know this -- he knew, i think had a heard of her name somewhere but didn't know her. one of the other people who were in the room had any confirmation of it. but what grow make of christine blasey ford, and how do you understand what she said, and what do you believe a

why did they not speak to christine blasey ford or kavanaugh? at must be the first investigation the fbi never talked to the accuser or the accused. >> tucker: i can't answer that. i think in the case of christine blasey ford, she didn't want to talk to them. she was clearly -- >> that wasn't a choice of hers. >> tucker: i agree with you. i am certainly not here to defend the fbi on many levels. my point is that the newspaper itself has conceded in a note amended to the piece that the piece is a crock. the newspaper tells us that she can't remember. so, like -- >> the newspaper friends of a, quote, friends of hers who were unnamed. she hasn't talked. we don't know what she said. >> tucker: the newspaper is telling us as far as they know, she doesn't think she was a victim. so, on the basis of that shouldn't beto o'rourke and the rest of these morons say wait a second, i guess we shouldn't impeach until we know more? how reckless can you be? >> the reason the democrats are talking about doing something, i agree that impeachment is absurd, is to ba

we were told leading up to the second reopening of the hearings that christine blasey ford cannot make it to dc because she was terrified of flying. that was the message conveyed through her attorney. rachel mitchell starts asking her about it and gently pursues whether that's a true statement or not. how did you get here? you flew but how did you get here earlier this summer when you're visiting your family? she flew. do you fly regularly? yes. she explores whether she's flown to australia and says that would be too difficult for me. it turns out on her resume she lists one of her interests is surf travel and she flies all over the pacific island hopping, not something that matches with the claims we were told she was so terrified of lines that they had to delay the hearing for days and days. laying out these pieces of information is important and you say why would someone not tell something that's true? it's also true sometimes people leave themselves to be telling the truth or have a vivid memory as he put it that is not necessarily reliable and we speak with memory experts who said

the christine blasey ford allegations are now being called into question by her own attorney. ust that appears she violated the attorney-client privilege. it's more significant than that. she was actually saying that christine blasey ford was not telling the truth when she told congress that the reason she came forward was to do her civic duty. now it appears as though, through her attorney, that her motivation part was purely political to undermine the credibility of the supreme court in abortion cases. that begs the question, was her testimony truthful overall? did she embellish some of it or at worst, did she invent some of it? senator thom tillis who has called for an investigation, i think he's absolutely correct. when you make a serious allegation like this against a proposed supreme court nominee, you must tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. the attorney is suggesting she did not do that. >> sean: that may change gears. sarah, let me ask you, we have jay sekulow breaking news last night, the acl jay, the fbi, did comey have spies in the trump white house from

. >> yeah, and sean, the lawyer who represented christine blasey ford during the kavanaugh confirmation is deborah katz, ais progressive wo was vocally anti-trump and now we know that during a speech this year at a feminist conference at the university of baltimore, deborah katz said part of the reason christine blasey ford came forward with accusations against kavanaugh was to tag his reputation with an asterisk. watch this. >> he will always have an asterisk next to his name. when he takes a scalpel to roe v. wade, we will know who he is, we know his character and we know what motivates him. and that is important. it's important that we know and that was part of what motivated christine. >> part of what motivated her. some in the audience were stunned, thinking it was a breach of attorney-client privilege, and although blasey ford's story had numerous changes, disparities and zero corroboration, she never once mentioned roe v. wade. it's also notable that deborah katz is known for representing victims of sexual misconduct, apparently unless they accuse democrats. for example, deborah

not christine blasey ford or debbie ramirez, names we heard about during the confirmation process, yetone that sort of involved an allegation of other disgusting drunken behavior by brett kavanaugh. but the woman who it allegedly happened to wouldn't speak to you both as far as i understand it. and her friends say she doesn't remember it happening. so why did you include it in the book? >> so what's interesting about this one is that you have a witness to this situation. a very respected, good governance advocate in washington named max steier. he went to senators last year and the fbi to tell them about his recollection of this incident involving the woman you mentioned and allegedly justice kavanaugh. because of stier's respected stature we deem it to be credible information and it was not followed up on. in that sense we thought it was a credible incident worth reporting with the details we had in the book. there's nor context in the book, although it's not a focus of the book. >> did you talk to stier? >> we can't address our sources. there are people quoted on the record in the bo

for me to breathe, and i thought that brett was accidentally going to kill me. >> reporter: christine blasey fordas kavanaugh who attacked her decades ago, though kavanaugh deniy ies it all. blasey ford said she detailed the incident in 2012 in couples therapy with her husband, who has said he remembers her voicing kavanaugh's name and about kavanaugh already a federal judge going on to the supreme court. >> we reported president trump has been blistering in his attacks against the authors, who also reported for "the new york times" and against "the new york times" for their failure to point out that the woman, according to her friends, does not remember the alleged incident, especially in the wake of that editor's note that randi referenced, which, again said that the woman did not decline to be interviewed and told friends she doesn't have any memory of what took place. the president certainly is not mincing any words in this tweet. quote, i call for the resignation of everybody at "the new york times" involved in the kavanaugh smear story. and while you're at it, the russian witch hunt hoax, w

they never interviewed christine blasey-ford. they never interviewed 25 names deborah ramirez gave them to corroborate her claims. reporters now later, less than a year later working on this, are able to, in fact, find seven different witnesses to corroborate her claims. fbi never bothered. all of this is prompting a revisitation of the kavanaugh confirmation debacle which happened roughly this time last year. it's resulting in new calls that kavanaugh should, perhaps, be impeached from the high court. for among other things lying under oath during his confirmation process including about some of these sexual assault allegations. one of the prominent democrats who's now making that call that kavanaugh should be impeached for lying under oath is california senator and democratic presidential candidate kamala harris. and she joins us next. saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven better on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. you wanna see something thatamazing?ing. go to hilton instead o

>> i think, i mean, in the case of christine blasey ford, this experience is one she may have regretted coming forward given what she's been through personally and continues to go through just in terms of her family and how this has upended her life. perhaps because deborah ramirez didn't publicly testify she got the same outpouring of support that christine blasey ford got but without the downside as much. certainly there were threatening, you know, e-mails and texts and that kind of thing, but generally, you know, she was very much sort of buoyed by people coming out of the woodwork saying you made me feel validated, my experience, i went through what you went through. you're a hero for coming forward. men who are talking to their sons in a different say said she made them sort of newly sensitive to this kind of an experience. so i think that's been her takeaway. people have started to talk about these issues and started to be more sensitive to them in a way hopefully that will be la lasting. >> kate, it also reads that she felt more connected to her yale classmates in their flow of s

in high school or otherwise. >> that interview was three days before both kavanaugh and christine blasey fordate judiciary committee. democrats ask their own questions. most republicans past their 5 minutes to a sex crimes prosecutor. through it all, blasey ford said she was 100% certain kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. >> i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. >> blasey ford's testimony also included several lapses of memory, inconsistencies, and straight up contradictions. and when brett kavanaugh addressed the committee, his anger was evident. look. >> this whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit. my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed. >> and the nominee wasn't the only one frustrated. democrats pushed for a wider investigation, and failed to get it. at one point, g.o.p. senator lindsey graham turned to kavanaugh and said, if you're looking for a fair process, you came to the wrong town. at the wrong time. ed? >> ed: trace, appreciate

as christine blasey ford's lawyer that christine blasey ford was ambivalent about all this.as in fact motivated trying to taint justice kavanaugh, for what purpose was that? secondly as you mentioned this video has been available publicly for some time, no one in the press has paid attention to it. i really think it starts to show some of the negligence that went on in terms of the coverage of this story, really investigating, getting to the bottom of all the intent an motivation what happened. steve: ryan, had people known about this motivation comment, perhaps the senators would have directed their questions differently? >> absolutely i think they would. i think when we were watching the hearings at this time last year, one of the things that we saw was rachel mitchell, the questioner for republicans asking sympathetic probing questions but not adversarial. perhaps if they knew that the motivation as described by debra katz differed from what christine blasey ford said, if they knew about the things that after the hearing happened there would be different questions. brian:

lou: an attorney for christine blasey ford admits ford was motivated at least in part to go forward against supreme court justice kavanaugh in order to damage his reputation before he could be put on the high court and before he ruled on abortion-related cases. ford's attorney saying, quote, he will always have an asterisk next to his name when he takes a scalpel to roe v. wade. we will know who he is. we know his character, and we know what motivates him. joining us tonight is molly hemmingway, senior editor for the federalist, fox news contributor, author of the very important book "justice on trial, the kavanaugh confirmation, the future of the supreme court" and great thinker and we're always delighted to have you on the show, molly. >> pleasure being here. lou: let's start with this news from debra katz corroborating one of the tenets of your book precisely, that it was a politically-driven circus. circus doesn't describe the viciousness. it was also an attempt at rather public lynching of a great american. >> yeah, it was a stunning admission for an attorney to make and probably not i

however, we still find christine blasey ford credible in the end and you will see why. rebut blasey ford's claims and kaiser has memory issues discussed which relate to the way memory functions for all of us and because she has a history of substance abuse she acknowledges. i think it's important for all of these things to be seen in the full context. we wanted to share it all with readers. >> trump is using the misstep against a battery round against the no times and people on fox news. >> what does that feel like? >> it's kind of amazing because you hear about it all the time and certainly our colleagues have been subject to it, but it really points out how all of these facts are kind of taken out of context and weaponized for people's own political ends and we think it's really unfortunate because it obscures the hard work we're doing to put the facts out there so people can make an assessment on the merits. >> one thing that's become clear, brian, the fbi investigation in the view of many americans and many people who care about fair process was too short and too li

what is it that christine blasey ford's friend now doubts her claims that he kavanaugh ever sexually assaulted her. that's not all. kaiser also told the author she felt pressured by ford's friend including a former fbi agent to change her story. otherwise, they publicized her past problems with drugs and alcohol. can you imagine that? now, we've seen this type of smash and smear job before when the deep state employed similarly sleazy tactics in an uncorroborated allegation against president trump. all the while media lapdog supporting it all without a hint of skepticism. and when all turned out to be hogwash, talk about the dossier et cetera, the left just moved on. nothing to see here. but even after all the backtracking and the corrections, democrats are still using this fake news for political gain. >> the call for kavanaugh to go is now growing. six of the democratic candidates say kavanaugh should be removed from the bench. >> what should become clear is that he should be impeached. the house absolutely has the ability to impeach him. >> i think he has disqualified himself for
