christine blasey ford but did include deborah ramirez. friday on this program two women who were roommates of deborah ramirez at yale said that brett kavanaugh frequently got very drunk, and they believe that his set of testimony minimizing his drinking was a lie because they themselves both drank with brett kavanaugh while in college. both of the women said they believed deborah ramirez's accusations against brett kavanaugh. and yesterday chad ludington, that yale classmate of brett kavanaugh's issued a written statement saying he was deeply troubled by brett kavanaugh's description of his drinking at yale. chad is now a professor at north carolina state university. he was a varsity basketball player at yale. brett kavanaugh was not on the varsity team but he enjoyed socializing with the varsity players according to chad. in his statement he said quote, brett was a frequent drinker and a heavy drinker. i know because especially in our first two years of college i often drank with him. on many occasions i heard brett slur his words and sa

two other people whom she claims were at the gathering where the assault allegedly occurred, and deborah ramirez, the yale accuser. on saturday night, donald trump tweeted that nbc was wrong, quote, actually, i want the fbi to interview whomever they deem appropriate at their discretion. please correct your reporting, exclamation point. but on sunday, nbc reported that despite those comments, the limits to the fbi's investigation remained unchanged, and that the fbi had received no new instructions from the white house. meanwhile, "the new yorker's" ronan farrow and jane mayer, who broke the story of deborah ramirez's allegation were reporting yesterday that several potential witnesses were attempting to contact the fbi to pass on what they thought might be useful information, but were having no luck. for instance, one yale classmate attempting to corroborate ramirez's claim, quote, had hoped to convey this to the fbi, but when he reached out to a bureau official in washington, d.c., he was told to contact the fbi field office nearest his home. when he tried that, he was referred to a re

deborah ramirez did speak with fbi agents.he gave them information, contact information for other witnesses who she says can corroborate what she has to say. according to ramirez's trng the fbi has not been interested in following up weith any of those witnesses. is there a bright line where relevance ends and how many degrees of separation you can get from the immediate subject of subject before you're talking to people who aren't related to this investigation? >> you know, it's like the last story that you had about the things going on in new york right now. in an investigation, it doesn't matter if it's criminal or a background. you pull on the strings until the string runs out. in terms of bright lines, or red lines. the only thing i can think about in that regard is that there have been very severe restrictions placed on how the fbi can proceed with this thing, that it can only focus on certain kinds of things and not other kinds of things. but that, again, it betrays why we do background investigations in the first place

it was not vetted by reporters as was the case with christine blasey ford and deborah ramirez, so i think we can compare it to the other allegations, and there was less there that was going to make the media treat this seriously. now, the counterpoint to that, and i talked to michael avenatti about this on friday, he said if it wasn't his allegation they were going to point to and say it was outrageous, it would be somebody else, probably deborah ramirez, whose allegation first reported had been attacked for maybe not being corroborated enough to be run by the media. there's something to that, but the distance between those two allegations and the supporting facts really did give republicans something of a talking point they wouldn't have otherwise had. >> abigail, this quote -- every time michael avenatti's name comes out, hurts, his name is toxic and should go away. there are rumors he might be mulling over a run for the presidency in 2020. do you sense what that quote gave you is the consensus among democrats overall? >> i think right now we're at an interesting point, especially withi

senate republicans declared victory announcing the fbi had found no corroboration or for the claim by deborah ramirez that kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college, an allegation he denies as well. it's hard to find corroboration if you're not even looking for it. the headlines speak for themselves, fbi probe ignored testimonies from former classmates, fbi background check appears to have been highly curtailed, white house approval to talk to kavanaugh and ford. besides being an obvious whitewash the fbi's report does nothing to address concerns s about kavanaugh's misleading or outright false statements in his sworn testimony last week or his partisan belligerent performance. according to a report, retired supreme court justice, john paul stevens, a lifelong republican , said today that kavanaugh's pu performance alone should be disqualifying. tonight on the eve of that key procedural vote it all comes t down to four undecided senators, heidi hidecamp announced she's t no on kavanaugh, citing doubts on the temperament, honesty and impartiality and the force on dr. ford's testimony. that l

as you pointed out more than 40 witnesses that they did not talk to, and deborah ramirez' attorney delivered a statement from a college classmate of hers to corroborate her accounted, and they refused to follow-up with that witness. any way you look at the investigation, it was not thorough, and appears to be designed, you know, carefully to give susan collins and jeff flake an excuse to vote yes for the nominee. the one thing that we keep missing is about no corroboration, and no corroboration is that it does is set up a false choice here. the testimony from christine blasey ford was evidence. it may not be corroborated by other witnesses in the room, but it was evidence, and the republican senators whether they have corroboration or not, they have to be faced with with a choice of whether they believe her or not, and so they don't want to answer that question, so they have come up with a new dynamic and investigation that does not ask the right questions and to get the right answers, and so it is an extremely cynical act by everyone involved. >> the fbi investigation that was a one-week ex

ford and deborah ramirez brought up. none of these other allegations about did he fully tell truth about his level of drinking. the last few people have talked about whether judge kavanaugh was a stumbling drunk or would have blacked out in contrast to his testimony. that was not part of the fbi's mandate here. >> i know that chuck rosenburg wants to jump in on that. the news in north dakota, we can report. this is from wday. a local affiliate in north dakota who sat down and did a one-on-one with senator heidi heighkamp. she says she will vote no on the supreme court nominee judge brett kavanaugh. that means that's one of those five taken out of unknown box and put into the no box. puts a lot more pressure on collins and murkowski. still, again, we don't know where senator manchin will go. whether he will vote yes or no. we don't know the motivation for heighkamp. if she says i'm down in the polls or trying to drum up the democratic base. chuck respond to peter in terms of what he was talking about in the fbi investigat

agents focusing on allegations from two women, christine blasey ford, and deborah ramirez. they have not spoken with julie swetnick according to her attorney. should more allegations come forward, if left unchecked, could that further cloud the path for kavanaugh? >> it definitely will. it looks to me the republicans may want to force a vote on this, but i think it's volatile. the red state democrats seem to be behind, new public opinion polls, if you vote for kavanaugh, you're not going to get a public vote, a party vote. so it looks like there is going to be greater level of hardening among conservative democrats in red states, but it looks to me as if this kavanaugh nomination is a really serious question. if the republicans do win the vote, they will pay a heavy price at the polls in november. if they hold on, i think kavanaugh is finished. the chances are they'll probably get another conservative nominee after the mid terms as a result of that. >> interjeet parmar joining us from london with perspective and analysis. thank you for your time. we'll keep in touch with yo
