but, mimi, what do you make of both of those moments? he had to apologize to the senator for asking -- for answering a question with a question and casting aspersions. and then durbin was left without an answer there. >> well, the first one with klobuchar was not him asking a question. it was him getting so defensive about the question she had asked. >> which was part of today's discussion. >> it was. others have said this, but i'll say it again. it is clear he is lying about the degree to which he did drink and frankly probably the degree to which he drinks now. whether or not he drinks alcohol isn't the central issue of whether he should be a judge, but whether he's lying about it is. and it goes to the truth of the main issue here, which is did you sexually assault dr. ford. and if he was so drunk that he couldn't remember it or couldn't control it, or, you know, just doesn't want to admit all of that, that goes to that central issue. and there is no doubt in my mind in that answer, he was terrified to answer that question because the

and as mimi points out, it's very interesting. does he go ahead and confirm his friend's version of events? or does he finally complete the outreach that dr. ford tried to make with him during this event where she says she locked eyes with him and thought he might help her. you know, will he finally, from across the years, come forth and tell the story and receive some kind of redemption for what he did? >> people have been wherever they can, watching this coverage today on social media, a ton of pictures of commercial airlines where every television set in the seatback is tuned to these hearings. there have already been some indelible moments. one of them having to do with an indelible image in the mind of dr. ford. this happened during questioning with senator leahy. let's take a look. >> what is the strongest memory you have? the strongest memory of the incident? something you cannot forget. take whatever time you need. >> indelible. in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two, and they're having

susan page, washington bureau chief for usa today, so is mimi rocah, msnbc legal analyst. and deputy chief of staff for harry reid. adam, let me start with you. this is what senator lisa murkowski said to "the new york times," quote, we are now in a place where it's not about judge kavanaugh, whether he's qualified. mrs. murkowski said in an extended interview monday night in the capitol, it is about whether or not a woman who has been a victim at some point in her life is to be believed. how precarious is this vote in the lead up to the hearing, adam? >> i think it's very precarious. kasie said something i found interesting, mitch mcconnell is headed for a standoff with his own conference, his own republican senators. i find the dynamic there very interesting. i think mitch mcconnell is essentially running game on his own conference of republican senators right now trying it put them on the hot seat, trying to pressure them into taking a vote that they really don't want to take. senator murkowski's chenomments reflebtr reflect a deep level of discomfort that indicates the

. >> joining me now is mimi rocah, a former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york and an nbc news legal analyst. tonight's panel includes geoff bennett, daniela, and matthew cot nettie, editor in chief of the washington free beacon. mimi, let me start with you. i have to say i have gone back and forth. how significant is this cooperation agreement? how sweetheart of a deal did paul manafort get in your opinion? >> well, as to the first question, chuck, i think it's very significant. i know we use a lot of hyperbole, and especially these days there have been a lot of big events. but i really don't -- i think it's hard to overstate the significance of this. this is, as you said, paul manafort was on the inside, in the campaign. also, you know, intimately tied to russia, to can stan teen kilimnik and others. if there's any one person who can offer information to the special counsel on whether, in fact, there was conspiracy between members of the campaign and the russians, who are already charged with that conspiracy to in

mimi walters is trying to stick with president trump but not too closely. either. and katie porter is somebody who was a former protÉge of elizabeth warren. i talked to them because donald trump is really the overriding issue in so many places. this is a district, by the way, where it's increasingly asian and latino. so the white population is just over 50%. so it's vulnerable to lot of the same trends and views towards trump in some of those groups. but i asked mimi walters and katie porter whether they think donald trump is dangerous. listen to what they said. >> no, i do not. i think he has a very good team around him, and i think he's doing what he believes is right. and if there's corruption then it will play itself out, but what i'm focused on is making sure i deliver the promises to my constituents. >> i think that some of trump's actions have hepted a real threat to our democracy. part of congress' job is to be a check on the presidency. if you're not asking hard questions, if you're not asking the right questions, if you're not looking at the evide

mimi, this is why we have you here. answers to any of these? >> absolutely there would be an investigation then, or should be, about whether one of them is lying. but again, you can't really get at that answer without going beyond the two people. the republicans are trying -- by trying to jam this through, they're trying to make this a he said-she said situation, and it's not. it doesn't have to be. there are other witnesses out there. we already know about them in the public record, which, by the way, i think lends credibility to dr. ford's story. why would she have told the story and put -- i think his name is mark judge at the scene if she were making this up. why would she put a friend of brett kavanaugh's there to go investigate? but there are so many details already in her story. she said she was wearing a bathing suit. was it a pool party? there are things you can find out. it's a closed community, there are people you can talk to. so yes, there should be an investigation, but to even get to that point of deciding that, you need to do th

mimi rocah, a veteran of the southern district of new york and neal. as the government's lawyer, a man who argued 37 cases before the supreme court, that is, after all, the focus of all these days of talk. mimi, you and i were noting senator sheldon whitehouse chose to bore in. chose to talk about how cases get argued in this country, concentration of power, dark money funding and the like. >> right. it's interesting that he spent really most of his time on that topic. and it's different than asking the nominee how he would rule on a certain case. so in some ways it allowed kavanaugh to actually answer, not that he couldn't answer the other questions but chose not to, to answer the questions a little more substantively, but this is an area that people are very interested in because kavanaugh has shown in his past opinions a real reluctance about campaign finance controls and that is something particularly with the trump administration and the influence of what we're seeing about the influence of foreign money, this is something that i think people want

recognizing that a lot of people do support her. >> mimi, thank you. kirk, thank you. mr. milbank, thank you. >>> a developing story we continue to follow. multiple fatalities. multiple injuries. a workplace shooting that happened in aberdeen, maryland. the shooting happened just after 9 a.m. at a rite-aid distribution center 35 miles northeast of baltimore. the sole suspect, a woman, is in custody. this incident coming just a day after another workplace shooting in middleton, wisconsin, left four people hurt. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams bringing us up to speed now on this shooting in maryland. pete what do we know? >> well, we're trying to put some specificity to numbers, to this word multiple. what we believe is, this is again subject to change, this is just the best information we have at this point that about eight people were shot in all. we think there were three or four fatalities. and the rest of the people were wounded including the person who did the shooting accord to the sheriff who we've been told by law enforcement officials is a woman. the sher

joining our discussion now, mimi roper, politics editor at the root.com, both msnbc contributors and, mimi, what do you make of this report of plea negotiations with paul manafort tonight, one of the paths as bob woodward would call it? >> that would be significant no matter what kind of plea it turns out to be, but it is worth noting that there are two different kinds of pleas that manafort could take. one would be a plea where in exchange for the plea he gets some kind of benefit to his sentence. you automatically get credit for accepting responsibility and that can help you in your sentence. the other would be a plea where you give information to the government and then you get an even bigger break in your sentence. right now as far as i know, we don't know which one, and that can make a huge difference in the sort of path of the investigation and where it goes from here. obviously if manafort did decide to cooperate, that would break open all sorts of new information, i would assume, for mueller. but even if he doesn't, it would be very significant just if he took a plea. this is

dana rohrbacher, mimi walters and the two open seats. we have two great recruits. i thought it was just the first korean american female. diane harkey who is and 49 and there'll isis seat. i feel really good about those races. if you look at the ads that are out in the rohrbacher seat, the opposition research on dana's opponent is thick. i think that is going to leave a mark. mimi walters is a pro. i think she is another candidate who has asked me to not spend in her race. i feel confident. she knows what she is doing. she has connected deeply with her community and what she has done on human trafficking. what she has done on other issues is making a difference for californians every day. i feel confident she will win. she told me don't buy into my race. that is okay. >> i will not because she asked me not to. both 39 and 49 are winnable. they are ahead today. we need to make sure they finish strong and i feel good about those races. another expensive race is steve knight who got 63% in the primary with another republican on the ballot. jungle primary. he got 53%.

. >> cooperating, as mimi said, earlier is better than later, but later is better than never. >> clearly that's the calculation here. >> from both point of views. he was up against it. put yourself in paul manafort's situation, 69-year-old guy, looking down the barrel of eight, ten, 12 years. the d.c. trial is coming up. hugely expensive and going to expose how he earned that money, the inner workings, the things the judge tried to keep out of the virginia trial. he doesn't want that. and he's got a third trial on the hung counts he's now admitted to from virginia. so -- >> all that's super expensive. paul, there's some talk about -- you mentioned this, that the forfeiture, which by the way is more than the total of the budget of the mueller probe spent so far if not mistaken, sort of plundering his way through and feeding the army off what they capture. there's also the fact that some people think this is pardon proof that it was designed to be pardon proof, not just the forfeiture. what do you think of that? >> i think the president will probably still dangle a pardon in front of manaf

>> mimi is absolutely right. there's a reason our criminal justice system has prosecutors and investigators. they have two different jobs. >> right. >> prosecutors don't work without investigation proceeding before they show up in court. mimi's right to say that what goes on tomorrow is not a trial. no one goes to jail at the end of the proceedings. there's no burden of proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. but nonetheless the republicans is now set this up with a prosecutor who will engage in, you know, interrogation. >> yeah. >> it's sort of taking on prosecutorial overtones where it benefits them, but not where it would hurt them. no investigation. >> they've said, no, no, we don't need fbi, we don't need people to do investigation. we the senate have got this. but then the biggest part of their job, which is questioning witnesses, i mean, i made this analogy earlier and i'm not a huge sports person, forgive me, isn't this like the baseball team and they train for this, prepare for this big game coming up,

mimi walters is a pro., a she is another candidate was asked me to not bend and her race, she says she has a, the confidence she has appeared she knows what she is doing. she has connected deeply with her community and what she has done on human trafficking, what she has done mcm1on other issue making a difference for californians every day and i feel confident she is going to win and she tells me, you know, don't buy in my raise, so that's okay. >> amassing a differently won't but she asked me not to. and, you know, both 39 and 49 are absolutely winnable. they're both ahead today. we need to make sure they finish strong and i feel really good about those races. another expensive race is steve knight, who got 53% in a primary with another republican on the ballot, a jungle primary, all voters, he got 52%. he is going to win that race. but it is going to be expensive, and we are going to be in there all the way to the end. >> melissa burke from the detroit news. >> -- some folks said this guy -- nv quwhere -

mimi it strikes me she is as a witness exceptional for her exceptionalism when she delves into science to answer a question, you're quickly reminded she has a ph.d. in her field, which dovetails with her testimony, and she's exceptional in her ordinariness, her everyday humanity. >> completely. you hit the nail on the head. when she started talking about memory and how it works, it's almost like you're listening to an expert witness, which we call th in court all the time after the victim survivor has testified, and here she's embodying both in one, which i think makes her both as cynthia said so many people are crying for her, but they're also cheering for her because the strength and the fact that she has the peace of mind to sort of remember the science behind this while she's talking about something so traumatic is actually amazing, and i think, you know, look, for anyone to sit here now after seeing that, anyone, i mean i defy anyone to say that she is lying about this. >> she may be the least packaged witness in the history of televised -- >> that is what makes her so credible. >

mimi, what are the -- are there challenges to this given the timing of the said event?ut, you know, prosecutors, investigators face challenges all the time of varying degrees and they don't just throw up their hands and say, we can't figure it out so let's move on. >> but aren't there statutes of limitations for reason, especially in cases that are 30, 35 years old and happened when someone was in their formative years. i mean, i just have to push back. every legal expert that we've had on says there is no legal remedy for this. are you guys saying there is? could he be arrested? >> no, absolutely not. as maya said this is not about a criminal investigation, this is about a serious allegation that our point of our article was it has the ring of truth to us because of things we already know in the public record. the fact that she gave a consistent statement to her therapist. the fact that her story if she was going to make it up, why would she put mark judge at the scene? why would she put a witness there who, you know, is in all likelihood going to contradict her becaus

. >> mimi, same question. >> this is about trump and not just the specific nominee, kavanaugh. several of the senators expressed that, durbin in particular, about how the reason the american people are so frustrated and scared is because this president who has just absolutely no respect for not just the rule of law, but our system of law as exemplified perfectly by his tweet last night about the ag should not prosecute republicans. that president is getting to pick a supreme court justice. it scares people. it's not just process as senator grassley i think said or senator cruz, it's a real fear of why is this president getting to put someone on the supreme court who will be for a very long time when he has absolutely no respect for how even that court or our system works. >> during what would normally be her hour of the day on television, andrea mitchell has been among those watching with us. andrea, what in your view have we just witnessed? >> well, it was a car wreck. and it is the democrats being very aggressive in trying to say that this is being railroaded. they are saying

joining me now is mimi roca, and our panel is still here. carol lee, matthew, and tiffany cross.th what the president has done and the concern in the legal and intelligence communities of -- of inadvertent releases. let me ask this. when you hand over a fisa document in a proceeding to a defense counsel because a judge said you have to, what kind of parameters are you given to not leak, say, the names of intelligence officials and things like that? >> well, chuck, you're under the requirements that are ordered that you cannot -- and it's not just in fisa cases. even in regular criminal cases, i think this is an important point, which are a lower standard in terms of the release of information. prosecutors get court orders all the time to say to defendants you cannot release this to anyone outside of, you know, you and your lawyer or you and your codefendants. and so i think what this sort of demonstrates, the question you're asking and this point is that there are two different concerns that are going on here. one, with respect to the fisa issue is what, you know, many experts ha

. >> mimi, there are statistics of why women don't come forward and reasons why there are statutes of limitations and evidentiary problems and people's memories fail and this is strangely political not for the reasons that some of the republicans on the judiciary committee talk about but the president coming out saying this happened 36 years ago. if it's serious, why didn't the loving parents meaning christine blasey ford's loving parents report it to police? we and everybody, everybody with a phone and a google, has evidence as to why these things don't happen. right? even when sexual assaults are reported they're often mishandled, often not taken seriously and community pressure on a woman is very strong not to come forward. >> exactly. you know, the president could have responded in so many different ways and the way that he chose to respond, though, really i think shows, you know, brings into focus why this is becoming a galvanizing moment for so many women because instead of saying, well, let's see how this plays out, he said i don't believe her because she didn't report it back

. >> mimi said she became a lawyer because of what she noticed in 1991. this motivated dianne feinstein. you've been watching her for many years. as you watched her over this last week what have you seen, the way she's been a proxy here for a lot of republicans, their frustrations with this process. how is she doing under that kind of attack? >> she's gotten attacked by republicans. she's gotten not very much attack by democrats. they've pretty much stood with her. you know, her actions here kind of underscore how difficult it can be to proceed with allegations of sexual assault especially those that have, are from past years. and her desire to honor dr. ford's privacy, i think, has created a lot of problems and in terms of the delay in bringing forward these allegations. so i think it's been a difficult time for her. but i would note that democrats mostly have stuck with her and say they understand why she made the decisions that she did. >> mimi, on that note, how difficult is it for you to explain or to understand why dianne feinstein did what she did

potentially challenging, katie porter is that and neck or ehad -- neck and neck or ahead when it comes to mimi walters. the key thing for me is the republican incumbents for the most part are in the mid-40's. the mushy middle is not a good place for these republican incumbents to be. is thing i think is key the focus this cycle has been the separators. the democratic candidates have been focused on kitchen table issues. that, i think, was a lesson from 2016. not since 2006 has the house caucus -- and the senate caucus -- from afar, the deal last summer was an economic compact that meets voters where they are. it provides a broad economic opportunity, whether they are proficient programs -- are apprenticeship programs. as a framework that lifts up the middle class, republicans pursued a disastrous policy that only rewards those at the top, increases costs for working families. ant has been increase in contrast as well. look to the final few weeks of the midterms, are we going to see mainly advertisements about those kitchen table issues, health care, things like that? or will we see more messag
