perhaps because kaczynski played only a small role. so the government now claims that the answer was an informer who betrayed shipyard workers to the secret police. today he's often heckled in public . but the fact is that the winds have changed the course of polish politics. still you won't find out when his picture and contemporary polish history books or see him on state run t.v. . he keeps a small office here at the museum of the solidarity trade union. i asked whether it bothers him that the current government has arranged ten from the history books does he have a grudge against him. this is a study of. something yes but there's more to it than that. it involves something that's more important and that's kaczynski vision of europe. where he's always talking about polish national values. but i always favored finding common ground with germany and cooperating with the e.u. for the says that today's liberal europe is destroying poland things are moving in the wrong direction and of course i'm standing in the way of a concert. now whe

but how does this benefit kaczynski and his party. you can see pictures of the anti communist resistance fighters on government buildings throughout warsaw kaczynski promotes the belief that poland is surrounded by enemies as part of his campaign to unite the masses. but why does he actually do it. to find out more we meet the dust in his case a sociologist political scientist and university professor who knows kaczynski well . during the last election she supported him in the hope that a conservative resurgence would unite the country. but today she's alarmed by his policies. he is only interested in political power will do whatever it takes to defend what he perceives to be the national interest but that strategy can easily lead to the destruction of democracy yet there is very me i don't mr now come across. as an escapist believes that the turning point for kaczynski came in twenty ten when his twin brother left was killed in a plane crash. kitchen's he believes that his brother was assassinated even though there's no evidence to s

with alex kaczynski, without him, you don't have kavanaugh. he has distanced himself in testimony and a public statements from the behavior. a senator said, please search your email and check to see if you got any sexually inappropriate emails from alice kaczynski. to know him for 20 years and to not have is very strange. his reply was, instead of the wall of denial he gave his testimony, his reply was, i do not remember receiving any sexually inappropriate emails. that is the end of his written reply. soso now, accordining to sanai, there are employers who would say that is nonsense. not that kavanaugh proved that he is lying abouout this and his credibility is nowow central to the accusation of the attempted rape. the: i want to get back to claims of dr. blasey ford in terms of their was supposedly another person in the room when kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted professor blasey ford. a guy by the name o of mark jud. good you talk about mark judge, who he is? >> he is known in washington. when he was brought out as the character wititn

homeless is big business for people who run the homeless programs like jeff kaczynski. how many hundreds of thousands are you paying him to oversee the programs moving homeless from one location of the city, back and forth and forth and back. when is it going to stop? do like you are doing the homeless teachers. provide a fund and apartment building complex for them to live. now, you have a modular proposal, 100 million and i object to that because those are overseas cargo ship containers, that 100 million that's proposed for that, combined with the amount of money you ask for here today is more than enough to start housing people that's out in the street. in fact, i demonstrated one time where [bleep] kaczynski, how would you house the 8,000 people and he said it would take a million dollars to house 1,000 homeless people. you take just a million dollars from the $217 billion that you -- free money from twitter and house all them people with the money. you answered your own question. >> president cohen: thank you. any other speakers? seeing none, public comment is clos

he clerked for judge kaczynski. and actually, when the ranking member introduced him, she highlighted that fact. as a matter fact, the judge i believe worked with judge kaczynski on the ninth circuit court for about five years. i think that is right. about 5 and a half years. so i don't want you to respond to this either.kr but if we're going to ask somebody that clerked for a judge 20 years ago, why didn't you know everything about that judge? then i think perhaps i would like to get copies of letters for members of the senate here who should be sending letters to judge wofford and asking him the same question. and now let's go a little further because i think we have got some double standard going on here. we had a member in the u.s. senate, faced with a number of allegations. for sexual harassment by women. when the allegations surfaced and even included photographs, in terms of behavior in question. when reporters asked members about their thoughts on that and whether or not the member should resign, they said i

judge kaczynski, on the ninth court, left the court because of sexual harassment allegations.udge kavanaugh has connections to judge kaczynski and wanted to distance himself and take a strong stand. david: we are looking forward to more hearings. what is left to be discussed? >> we will see a lot of repeat questions. no doubt about it. more questions about his role on regulation. he spoke to that to some degree and says he is not a skeptic of regulations, just the regulations not authorized by congress. they will come back at that. no discussion of affirmative action. no discussion of obamacare. democrats have lacked these previously and will probably race this afternoon. david: any documents come up that democrats are upset they did not get? >> some discussions, pat leahy will seek permission to use the two documents from judge kavanaugh's time in the bush administration the things are relevant. david: you are on the scene. stohr.ou to greg talks start again with the canadian foreign affairs minister back in washington for more negotiations. the latest coming up next. this is

why aren't they talking about the kaczynski chambers, and why azar who proceeded clerk for kaczynski, why did he leave? and how can kavanaugh say he didn't know about the sexual misconduct in those chambers? there's so many things. how did he pay off this debt, and was the debt really for gambling? i think we also have to look at given everything we now know as to whether he was then or is now an alcoholic, whether he's recovered or not, there was clearly a drinking problem that's been brought out. so there are a whole lot of questions that as a trial lawyer i say, you can't ignore those and as a voter i will not ignore them. >> let's listen to some of what michael avenatti told rachel in the last hour. >> i'm representing one client who i can describe as a witness and victim as well as additional corroborating witnesses to what she is going to allege publicly within the next 48 hours. as it relates to her particular allegations, we're not going to provide additional information beyond that, which is contained within the e-mails that i exchanged with the senate judiciary committee. bu

he's been accused of lying about judge kaczynski who was thrown off the federal bench and was like theng of sexual harassment. even though he was very close to him, clerked for him and judge kaczynski's kid clerked for judge kavanaugh, it was a complete shock to him there was any sexual harassment. so there are other credibility questions swirling around him, which makes his job even more difficult. >> there are squishier gray issues like the first words out of his mouth at the white house ceremony were that no president has ever done a deeper dive, in effect talked to more people, consulted more people prior to a supreme court appointment. >> he'll say anything. >> bowing down to this president that so many people are doing when they want to get an appointment, when they want to get re-elected. the way in which they have to declare feelty and the words they use for donald trump is unlike anything we've ever seen. >> brett kavanaugh has clearly had a lifelong ambition to reach this point. he was involved in republican conservative circles. obviously he was on the starr committee, serve

then memos came out to show he was involved, he denied any knowledge of judge kaczynski's behavior, he finally had to resign under sexual harassment charges, yet everybody who was clerking seemed to know what was going on. i could go on on his statements. that is what i mean by lack of credibility and they did ask hard questions. one of the questions they asked over and over again is for release of his records, records under public service, what was his role, important to decisions under the bush administration but 90% of the records have not been disclosed and they have pounded on it. one of the senators has gone to court over it. senator blumenthal. it isn't like they are not trying but people act like this is a conspiracy of the democrats. it wasn't. a woman came forth. she came forth because she felt it was her civic responsibility to release what she thought was a character issue, which was a character issue, which is a character issue and now more women are coming forth. these are the same people who would not have the prior garland, one year. one year they stalled the process or

judge kaczynski's behavior in this regard was an open secret. a short time after the accusers went public, the judge abruptly resigned which shut down the federal investigation into his misconduct. i do not think this was a coincidence. and in 2008, in connection with another investigation into the judge, "the l.a. times" wrote a story about something called the easy rider gag list, an email group that the judge used to send what the times reported was, quote, a steady diet of tasteless humor, end quote. the report describes the list made up of friends and associates, including his law clerks, colleagues on the federal bench, prominent attorneys, and generallyists. senator hatch asked you if you were on this easy rider gag list where judge kozinski would send inappropriate materials. your response was that you don't remember anything like that. are you telling us that you may have received a steady diet of what people on the list have described as, quote, a lot of vulgar jokes, very dirty jokes, but you don't remember it? >> no. i don't remember

i want to give you a chance to answer questions about judge kaczynski. how long have you known him? >> i clerked for him 1991 and 92. >> understand the media reports there is a list to send inappropriate material on this list? >> i remember anything like that back how often you have to do is beyond the? >> not back how often did you see? not often. maybe with a legal convention. i was not working the small courthouse of course washing -- in washington d.c. what things did you talk about? the book judicial precedents that they are the 12 of us in total were that is just discourse worked on that day just me for the last 30 years judge kaczynski run that process and the course of the i would have to medication did you know anything about these allegations before they became public last year? when they became public my first thought no woman should be subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace ever the judiciary. it was a good before we met for me to judiciary i was shocked and disappointed and angry with all of the emotions no woman should be subjected to sexual harassment in the

i would also like to point out that there is this question about his having clerked for a judge kaczynski who left the bench because of sexual misconduct in his courtroom -- or in his chambers, sorry. not in his courtroom, in his chambers. and this is during the time that brett kavanaugh worked for him. and either kavanaugh did not know about it, which is impossible to believe because it was widely known. everybody knew it. or he just ignored it. and that is also something that relates to how he would behave now in terms of judging cases of this nature or how he would behave in his own chambers. so i think it's a very significant issue, and to rush the confirmation through without giving him a fair chance to defend himself, and even just the way we're talking about it now means he needs to come forward and defend himself and we need to hear the whole story. it's very important. >> and barbara mcquade, what would you say to someone -- i mean this person is obviously engaged enough and concerned about this she brought this to the attention of the first congresswoman barbara eshue, and the c

school, professors at yale law school were warned of a student two judges you should avoid, alex kaczynski and brett kavanaugh. why should we avoid brett kavanaugh. yale won't say. another yale professor says she was feeding clerks to kavanaugh who had a certain look, who looked like models. his entire credibility about his own recollection of sexual harassment is off. that's not he said/she said, that is an investigation into the truth that the senate judiciary committee refuses to do. >> yeah. >> so -- and to build off of this, we also know that there are class -- school mates of trchdr. ford who said everybody was talking about this. if nothing happened why were people talking about this. we want the fbi to go be able to ask those questions and potentially find out a lot more information, but i also want to -- douglas ginsburg, douglas ginsburg was the person that was nominated by reagan. >> right. >> within a matter of days, he was honest about marijuana use. >> and had to stand down. >> and stepped down. a claim of sexual assault. >> right. >> is not sufficient? >> can i tell you the

from his clerkship with judge alex kaczynski to his apprenticeship with ken starr, to his work on georgeam during the florida recount and in the white house, judge kavanaugh has been knee-deep in partisan politics. the first reward for that service was his nominee to the d.c. circuit. it was a tough fight, but republican aligned peschel interest fought for more than three years to get him confirmed. and for the past four years as a judge he has rolled into scent or majority in line with the political and ideological agenda. now president trump has selected judge kavanaugh to provide the physical in cases that would change some of the most basic assumptions that americans have about their lives and their government. there are more than 730 federal judges working on thousands of cases across the country every day. most of these cases and in trial courts. to some of are appeals and heard in a appellate court. the closely divided supreme court hears very few cases. many times fewer than 100 every year. before justice kennedy retired so many important constitutional rights were hanging in the
