kaiser, a long time friend of dr. ford's who said she couldn't remember the party that brett kavanaugh and mrs. ford attended. i wanted to point out a statement by ford's attorneys where they say they don't expect kaiser to have remembered the occurrence. it's not surprising that ms. kaiser does not remember the evening as they did not discuss it. she does not remember the gathering of which nothing of consequence happened to her. one other note as you mentioned, we are reporting from "the washington post" that kavanaugh spent several hours over the past few days at the white house going over what would be a mock confirmation hearing and testimony. being asked questions by white house aides pertaining to doctor ford's accusations. clearly the white house wants him to do well when he goes before the senate judiciary committee. >> thank you so much. let's talk about all of this with georgetown law professor emma coleman jordan. she was one of anita hill's attorneys and helped hill to prepare to testify against clarence thomas. also with me, cnn analyst ron brownstein. good to see both of you. first, before we ge
