that's mike davis. mike davis is a prejudiced staffer who's determined to confirm judge kavanaugh. and he has not heard one word from dr. ford. and he doesn't have to because he knows the job chuck grassly has given him is to make sure judge kavanaugh is confirmed. and we know about these tweets because our first guest tonight found them and brought them to public attention whereupon the tweets were deleted because they are outrageous. but mike davis is still determined and chuck grassly is still determined and orrin hatch is still determined and every republican man who's a member of the judiciary committee is still determined to confirm brett kavanaugh. and they are willing, all of them, to tell any lie to do it. every single one of them. every single republican member of the committee and every republican member of the senate has collectively joined in the big lie that there is no role for the fbi in this investigation. every one of them has joined in the big lie that this nomination must be voted on quickly. and so dr. ford knows that if she walks into the judiciary committee h

the investigator is named mike davis. he says that he is the chief counsel for nominations working for chairman chuck grassley on the judiciary committee. last night mr. davis decided for some reason to get on twitter and let it all hang out in terms of how the supposed investigation is going. he said online, quote, i personally questioned judge kavanaugh under penalty of felony and five years of imprisonment if he lies. i'm still waiting to hear back from the accuser's attorneys. which means by his own description, he's the guy who is personally conducting the investigation of this matter when chuck grassley says that the committee investigators are following up on leads and doing these -- apparently who he is talking about is mike davis. i personally requested judge kavanaugh. i am waiting to hear back from the accuser's attorneys. the very next tweet in mike davis' timeline, also from last night, is this one. unfazed and determined, period, we will confirm judge kavanaugh, #confirmkavanaugh, # scotus. okay. so you can

amy: explain who mike davis is. >> mike davis -- and i wrote about this in the piece you referenced. he's the chief counsel for the gop, the senate gop judiciary. grassley. it was beingy -- floated last report for public hearing was agreed to, this idea "at chuck grassley would have fair, private" questitioning period with christine blasey ford in california. he was going to send his staffers other to interviview hr in private, then come e back wih a judgment on whether or not s e was sayingng something, you kno, saying whether or not she could be credible. so what she was doing effectively was suggesting he was in his chief counsel out to california to privately interview dr. blasey ford and come back with whatever he decided. this is a guy that last week at the same time that he was being floated as the person to interview her, tweeted "we will confirm kavanaugh." partials is not in n a personnel were sending out -- impartial person there were sending out to question christine blasey ford. if you care about sexual assault and harassment, you have an impartial hearing and an imparti

late last night the committee's top staffer for judicial nominations, mike davis, who is supposed to be leading the committee's unbiased investigation into the allegation tweeted that in the wake of the allegation he was unfazed and determined, we will confirm judge kavanaugh. he deleted that tweet. on capitol hill, meanwhile, protesters poured into the offices of gop senators to tell their stories of sexual assault and proclaim that they believe both anita hill and christine blasey ford. capital police arrested 56 of the protesters. >> senator grassley, i know you don't know me, but you must know hundreds and thousands of women just like me who have never said a word. and for them, and for your constituents, and for the good of americans everywhere, you will not appoint this man to the supreme court. >> senate republicans appear terrified about the optics of having 11 republican men on the judiciary committee question a woman who says she survived sexual assault. tonight, republicans are searching for a female lawyer to question both judge kavanaugh and dr. ford so they don't have t

it bothered me, though, wednesday night, mike davis, the chairman grassley's counsel on nominations on the committee tweeted out, unphased and determined, we will confirm brett kavanaugh. now, you know, do you really believe in the fairness of a process where the counsel to the committee basically has signed, sealed and delivered? that really bothered me. >> that leads us to one of your democratic colleagues who basically has said even if he's confirmed and if democrats win the house and/or the senate that they will begin investigating judge brett kavanaugh. here is senator whitehouse this week. >> this is such bad practice that even if they were to ram this guy through, as soon as democrats get gavels, we're going to want to get to the bottom of this. >> if the democrats win back the house and/or the senate, democrats will investigate what happened, the charges that professor ford is laying out, even if that means investigating a supreme court justice at the time. >> i am confident of that. >> senator, is that what americans want? is that what americans should be in store for? >> no,

mike davis, playing a central role in setting all this up, tweeted last week that he was unfazed andetermined we will confirm judge kavanaugh. former senior white house aide to president obama, chief council of the senate judiciary committee, and heidi przybyla. this female sex crimes prosecutor who is mysterious and unnamed. >> the republicans have hired her, they confirmed that in a letter that nbc obtained earlier today. however, they are determined to keep her identity a mystery because they say that it is for her own security that given all of the anger and tensions around this entire process, that they have to keep her name private. of course, the democrats are crying foul because in addition to all of the other requests that dr. ford has made that have been rejected, she and her team want to know who this person is because they feel like this is yet another example of how the cards in the deck are being stacked against her. so many of the requests, chris, from the start, have been denied with the very basic request of just having any kind of corroboration even being allowed he

mike davis a number of times asks over the last several days mr. clune saying "before we discuss a phone call or any other next steps we need to have the following information. one, does ms. ramirez have any other evidence including other statements in addition to those that are contained in the new yorker article. and two, is ms. ramirez willing to provide her evidence including her testimony to committee investigators." they say they want that before they discuss having a call and repeatedly also mr. clune in response is basically saying in response to the first question, there are certainly more witnesses in the article. that's why we want an fbi investigation, we don't see how you can get to the root of the matter without that. as for your second question, we couldn't answer without learning more from you about the details of whatever process you are contemplating. after hearing more we would advise the client accordingly and she could decide. they seem to be talking past each other on this. there's certainly a lot to talk about this. kirsten p

. >> and here, mimi rocha, we have a fair hearing and yet mike davis who is the head investigator of the committee and the head of the republican side of the committee had these tweets which have now been taken down, but incredibly, but he is saying that he is unfazed and determined. we will confirm judge kav nay and #confirm kavanaugh and then i personally questioned him under the penalty of penalty and five years of imprisonment if he lice and i want to hear back from the accuser's attorneys who can't find time between tv appearance appearances to get back to me. and there was a jewish holy day which is the 24-hour period and a medical procedure, but there was a long conference call yesterday. but what does this project if he is the guy who should be leading the senate investigators and they don't want the fbi to do it with a neutral or experienced oorganization, and why should she have confidence in being questioned by this man? >> well, that is exactly right, andrea. and she shouldn't, frankly, and he is not the only one saying it. and hatch has said that he does not believe her,

precluded a thorough investigation of this matter and, crucial part, the hearing plan that your staffer mike davisscribed, meaning in an earlier communication, quote, does not appear designed to provide dr. blasey ford with fair and respectful treatment. so this is blasey ford's lawyer saying the way you're planning that hearing doesn't look to us like she's going to be treated properly. quote, the hiring of an unnamed sex prosecutor as mr. davis described in his e-mail is contrary to the majority's emphasize for the need for the senate and this committee's members to fulfill their constitutional obligations. this is not a criminal trial forewhich the involvement of a sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate. near dr. blasey ford nor judge kavanaugh son file. the goal should be to develop the relevant fax, not try a case. quote, there is no precedent for this committee to bring in outside counsel for the sole purpose of shielding the members of the committee from performing their duty to question the witness. still has not responded to a outstanding number of questions about the hearing includin

i thought that mike davis' response from senator grassley's committee was appropriate, yes, here is the web page, and you can submit this, and they chose not even amidst all of the claims that the fbi should investigate, but mr. avenatti is breaking this on twitter. it is not that i will submit this to the fbi, no, he breaks it on twitter and again today, he is going first to twitter. if you want the fbi -- >> carrie, you heard michael ave gnaw the ti snaughty sa-- avena went to the fbi days ago, and the judicial committee and -- >> he went to twitter, also. >> and caka carrie, that is wha offered. and so you were certain that judge kavanaugh did not do these things, and this is the third woman in a span of a week who comes forward with the claim of a sexual assault or misuse from the judge of misconduct, and are you standing by what you said a few hours ago that are you are certain that he has not engaged in any behavior untorrid with regards to women. >> with the two other al allegations that we have so far, there is a story out that is not able to be corroborated and all of the alleg
