the ranking member thought this accusation was credible, she had an absolute responsibility to disclose it to the committee or to the f.b.i. immediately. she also had an obligation to ask judge kavanaugh about it. she did neither. if eernd she thought it was false, which is the only excuse for her silence, then democrats' decision to exploit this accusation for political gain is appalling. in either case, democrats have behaved with a total lack of responsibility throughout this process. not only have they shown not the slightest concern for the possibility of tarnishing a good man's name, they have also displayed no real concern for dr. ford. clearly, they had no particular interest in giving her or her allegation a hearing until it became politically expedient to do so. if they had really cared about her accusation, they would have brought it up immediately and questioned judge kavanaugh about it immediately. instead, they held it in reserve to apparently be deployed in the event that they needed it to delay the confirmation process. shameful, mr. president, but not surprising, because as i said earlier, democrats made

ford's allegations from refusing to honor her request for an f.b.i. investigation prior to her hearing to severely limiting the democrats' time for questions of judge kavanaugh before the senate judiciary committee, to refusing to call other key witnesses like mark judge, deborah ramirez, and others, and to put them under oath, and it is absolutely stunning that all 11 republicans on the committee be a i abdicated their responsibilities and ducked public scrutiny by bringing in a female prosecutor to do their job and question dr. ford. it's just plain political cowardness. women in new mexico and around the country are watching. mr. president, again, after hearing her testimony and reviewing the record, i believe dr. ford. it's worth noting that no republican senator has said she is not credible, not a single one has said she's not credible. the majority whip stated, and i quote here, i find no reason to find her not credible. end quote. the president found her testimony, and i quote here, very compelling that she was a very credible witness, end quot

f.b.i. investigation ought to know that. second, leader mcconnell should arrange an all-senators briefing from the agent in charge of the investigation before the vote. we should know what he did and what he didn't do and why. and, third, the findings of the f.b.i. investigation upon completion should be released publicly, with any personal information redacted. this is not the usual practice but it's been done in the past when it's needed, and it's sure needed now. the f.b.i. should do it. these three steps would go a long way to ensure the public's faith that the investigation has been conducted fairly, fully, and properly. this debate, this nomination, mr. president, is about whether judge brett kavanaugh has the character, the credibility, the impartiality to serve on the nation's highest court. in order to be an effective judge at any level you need to be impartial, dispassionate. we don't ask our judges to be perfectly neutral but we can't tolerate judges who are nakedly partisan either. judge kavanaugh himself has said that most obviously a judge cannot be a p

>> i think that they want an f.b.i. investigation that will remove the issue of an f.b.i.rom attacks on brett kavanaugh. >> stephen: you never had an f.b.i. investigation? >> you never had a thorough one. >> stephen: sure. because over the weekend there are all these questions about was the white house limiting it, was the white house counsel telling the f.b.i. interview these people, don't interview these people. so i think there are a number of republican senators who got on the phone with the white house today and said you can't do this, it needs to be comprehensive, and the president said that. what that actually means, we don't know. we know the f.b.i. has interviewed mark judge, the friend, we know they've interviewed deborah ramirez, the second accuser from yale, but we don't know what else. >> stephen: and they have about four more days? mitch mcconnell said he will hold a vote this week. >> i guess friday is when the clock runs out. >> stephen: whoa! sorry about that. >> when the clock runs out, and then they will open it up, and it will be 30 hours of debate, and

they said, see, you wanted an f.b.i. investigation, you got one, and now it isn't good enough for you. who are they kidding? this is a sham investigation. well, this so-called investigation wasn't good enough for me, and it shouldn't be good enough to satisfy the american people. judge kavanaugh has the burden -- he has a burden, not a burden of proof like in a court but the burden to show us he has not just the credentials for the job but the temperament and character necessary for this lifetime appointment. i said many times that democrats didn't need to manufacture reasons to oppose kavanaugh's elevation to the supreme court. based on his record, also opinions, his dissents, his academic writings, and speeches, i had concluded before the new reports came forward that he would not be fair and objective on the supreme court. his views on reproductive rights, native rights and legal protections for workers, consumers, and the environment are all of deep concern to me, not to mention his expansive views on executive power

week democrats and republicans stood together to ask republican leaders to allow the bear minimum, an f.b.i. investigation into the new allegations that have come in. this wasn't an unreasonable request. it happens all the time with nominees. and for far less important positions than a lifetime seat on the supreme court. and it is the very least that should be done when serious allegations like these were made to make sure we are hearing from all relevant witnesses and bringing all relevant information in for consideration. but, mr. president, this simply has not happened. this morning i went in for a briefing on the new f.b.i. investigation, and it was very clear to anyone who reviewed the material that senate republican leaders and president trump cut the f.b.i. off and refused to allow them to conduct the comprehensive and thorough investigation that was promised to democrats and republicans. instead, this was rigged from the start to protect judge kavanaugh because here is what we know and this has been reported in the press. dr. ford was not interviewed despite her repeated requests. w

then the president offered the smallest fig leaf of an f.b.i. investigation. now, i have just come from the secure room where the summaries of f.b.i. interviews and other f.b.i. generated documents were made available. senators have been muzzled so i will now say three things that committee staff have explained are permissible to say without violating committee rules, statements that i have also independently verified as accurate. one, this was not a full and fair investigation. it was sharply limited in scope and did not explore the relevant confirming facts. two, the available documents do not exonerate mr. kavanaugh. and three, the available documents contradict statements mr. kavanaugh made under oath. i would like to back up these three points with explicit statements from the f.b.i. documents. explicit statements that should be available for the american people to see. but the republicans have locked the documents behind closed doors with no plans to inform the american public of any new information about the kavanaugh nomination. the kavanaugh nomination

f.b.i. had been able to do an investigation i do think we can. have a short pause and make sure that the f.b.i. can investigate that i understand it is that some of us would have to and i'm prepared to do it make a request to the white house to ask the f.b.i. to do that investigation it would be short. and limited in scope to the current allegations that have been made i would like to support the motion for that investigation i've explained many times a mother if the investigation is not necessary the nomination of brett kavanaugh has certainly divided the united states of america both sides very fired up about it and it appears that next week we will have a final vote in the u.s. senate regarding his confirmation as a supreme court justice in the united states the highest court in the land but it has been quite contentious protests all around capitol hill lots of accusations on both sides lots of anger. there has been a huge surge in the number of deaths caused by friday's seven point four magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami in indonesia m

center to demand what's been very disappointing is that their demand was far too they get it was an f.b.i. investigation at the direction of president trump himself as the other guests have pointed out credibly accused of sexual assault and as you might imagine trump did not tell the f.b.i. to actually talk to the witnesses who could have corroborated deborah near as and dr christine was the fords allegations so there is an absence of top level corroborating evidence but because the f.b.i. was expressly told to not find that evidence so unfortunately the f.b.i. investigation which was a reasonable step turned out to not be a real investigation and as a result it's really just a sham that's a shame and i wish that the people would call for it a week ago had been much more specific when they had made that call. what about the what about republican voters in the united states right now i mean how are they split along is it along gender lines right now is it the never trumpeters and those that are that are for trump i mean where does this put the republican voter when it comes to the midterms

they called for an additional supplemental f.b.i. investigation, but when we tried to question witnesses at the staff level on a bipartisan -- in a bipartisan way, they simply have refused to participate. none of them have said the obvious, which is that's pretty odd that dr. ford's lawyers apparently didn't tell her that investigators volunteered to come to florida to speak with her in private. it's downright strange that she didn't know she was being directed to democrat lawyers and being sent off for polygraph examinations, instead of being directed to the f.b.i. or the senate judiciary committee professional staff. our colleagues across the aisle have never questioned their allies' motives were anything less than righteous or pointed out the political convenience of any of this. but their assault on one man's integrity is convenient, in other words, that this has been self-serving for our friends across the aisle who have already committed to oppose the nomination, no matter what. none of this makes it any less callous. so now we
