other ways to determine credibility and we did learn a lot about how republicans on the senate judiciary committeefrom the moment the allegation is made they take it extremely seriously. some people think you shouldn't be able to get a nationally televised hearing for making an allegation that some people on the senate judiciary committee thought absolutely you should. so they strongly wanted to hear from her and hear what her story was. it was handled through attorneys, so it's hard to know where they telling stories at odds with reality with the sliding example that is an issue where it was the attorneys and christine for made claims that didn't match up with the records but there were other issues as well. she said in her testimony that the allegation was revealed in part as they were going through therapy because she wanted a second or added to her house because she had such fear as a result of this incident that happened and one of the things that came out after the hearing is the second door, there was a second door is added as a part of a renovation for a unit that could be rented out and t
