the senators interpret that wisdom here? we will see. that's for us tonight. thank you for watching. "cnn tonight" with don lemon starts right now. >> okay. so chris, so this "wall street journal" editorial that he wrote. right? he wrote what he said in front of the senate judiciary committee as well. he could have simply said this, which was in the "wall street journal," rather than saying what he said in front of the senate judiciary committee. he could have said, "in each case that i have ruled on i have followed the law. i do not decide cases based on personal or policy preferences." >> right. >> "i am going to be objective." and what does he say? people on the court don't sit on separate sides of the aisle. he could have said that. "listen, i am not guilty of any of this. but let me tell you, if i have the honor of being confirmed for this particular seat, here is how i will conduct myself. i am open to every investigation that you can bring. open up to an fbi investigation because i am completely innocent. but this is how i will conduct myself as a judge." and he would not have had to go into all that partisan rhetoric that people say he doesn't have the temperament now

tonight brett kavanaugh has taken to the op-ed page the rupert mer dock wall street journal to own an explanation for his tone in last week's judiciary committee hearing which was criticized today in unprecedented remarks by john paul stevens, one of america's four retired justices of the supreme court who are still with us. justice stevens' comments about brett kavanaugh's complete collapse of judicial temperament in that hearing might have been the final trigger that forced the white house strategists to deliver brett kavanaugh's op-ed piece to "the wall street journal" tonight. let's listen to what retired justice stevens said today in florida about what he saw in the hearing room last week. and this came today when justice stevens was speaking -- it came right after extended praise that he offered for brett kavanaugh's years as a federal appeals court judge. in fact, justice stevens was especially pleased that justice kavanaugh approvingly cited justice stevens dissent in a deciding case that justice stevens fully supports. so in saying he's a fine, federal judge, those were his w

"the wall street journal" has done incredible reporting on this story, pulling at this for more than a year. as has robert mueller, the special counsel. he has questioned witnesses connected to the late mr. smith, including at least one before the grand jury. he apparently has a trove of documents and hard drives that belong to peter smith. but sort of bottom line here, this one american, now deceased, who cheerfully admitted to colluding with russia to getting hillary clinton's e-mails, is dea

well, tonight, "the wall street journal" has figured out a piece of that. t, "the wall street journal" adds the news in which the story of general flynn and that dinner moscow and the strange story of peter smith and his attempted collusion around hillary clinton's e-mails, those stories kind of come together. a veteran republican activist whose quest to get hillary clinton e-mails from hackers dominated the final months of his life, he struck up a relationship with michael flynn as early as 2015. and told associates he was using the general's connections to help him on the project. smith met with flynn in 2015, according to people familiar with the matter. in an e-mail, one of mr. smith's former associates wrote to a friend last week, as you are aware, peter started a business relationship with general flynn in 2015. we spoke with him on the day he left for his trip to moscow. so that's what mike flynn was doing before he hopped that plane to moscow. apparently he was talking to peter smith, who was trying to reach russian hackers online to get hillary clin

brett kavanaugh did something unprecedented overnight, he wrote an op-ed in the "wall street journal" and conceded he might have been too emotional in the testimony before the senate judiciary committee. ask yourself, why did he write this? the answer is almost definitely because he thought he had to and it's that close and he knows that his temperament that was shown in his testimony was a problem for some senators and some people, including now one retired supreme court justice, john paul stevens, who said overnight that the testimony changed his opinion about whether kavanaugh should be on the court. >>> also overnight, new details on the fbi report itself. republicans on the senate judiciary committee say the fbi reached out to 11 people, interviewing ten of them, in connection with allegations levels against them. ford's attorneys blasting that move. democrats citing it as an example, the report itself is nothing more than attempted cover-up. all this as a president at a rally in minnesota said the democrat's resistance is starting to backfire. >> and joining us, nia-malika hende

hanging in the balance, judge kavanaugh has just spoken out, writing on the opinion page of "the wall street journal," he addresses the tone of his testimony last week, which some, including one retired justice, have suggested should bar him from the high court. here are two key passages. he wrote, at times, my testimony, both in my opening statement and in response to questions, reflected my overwhelming frustration of being wrongly accused. without corroboration of horrible conduct completely contrary to my record and character. my statement and answers also reflected my deep distress at the unfairness of how this allegation has been handled. judge kavanaugh continues to write, i was very emotional last thursday, more so than i have ever been. i might have been too emotional at times. i know that my tone was sharp, and i said a few things i should not have said. i hope everyone can understand that i was there as a son, husband and dad. i testified with five people fore most in miss mind, my mom, my dad, my wife, and most of all, my daughters. so this just was posted. joining us now is my panel. ki

brett kavanaugh not only is speaking out, but he has an op-ed running in "the wall street journal." s testimony last week reflected his frustration, his word, of being wrongly accused. the remarkable development comes at the end of an incredible day and the advance of another one tomorrow. tomorrow, just one of four senators who have not said how they'll vote on brett kavanaugh's supreme court nomination, will return to a secure room on capitol hill. there, with only a pen and paper to take notes that not leave the room, joe manchin, a democrat, will review the fbi report he began looking at late today. manchin is a red state democrat and up for re-election. he and three republicans are all the wild cards here. for now, at least, that fbi report in that secure room, which the public will likely never get to see, appears to be the focus for at least some of those undecided members. for them, it may decide judge kavanaugh's fate or justify their vote, which is why we're keeping them honest. the question of who the fbi did and did not talk to, that's hotly disputed. and no one seems wil

but the editorial page of the "wall street journal" is anti- anti- trump just like they were communist and anti-communist and anti- anti-communist. and and in the context i thought that was a copout if you like donald trump and think he will make america great again. god bless you. that is your opinion but if you see for exactly who and what he is and say that's okay i find that nauseating to be honest. there is something amiss. i know he's a pig. i know he's disgusting. if he was a democrat i would pose him tooth and nail. and so on but still i will support him because he's not a democrat. so my reply to that is if barack obama were carrying out the policies that tromp is carrying out - - president trump is carrying out what would conservatives we saying? . >> i actually thought the times would be a good fit for me because james bennett wanted to broaden the conversation to have more on the editorial page just a more interesting place with those provisions to come to be with and the times has been nothing like the sulzberger's and the senior people some of the younger people are not i

"the wall street journal" interviewed mr. smith for that story. smith implied to "the journal" that his secret endeavor was somehow tied to michael flynn, who had been an adviser in the trump campaign. then about ten days after he talked to "the wall street journal," peter smith died. he was found dead in a minnesota hotel room in an apparent suicide. before we had much time to digest that bombshell, the very next day, "the wall street journal" was back for round two. according to "the journal," it was not just mike flynn who peter smith implied was connected to his search for hillary clinton's e-mails, according to smith, it was always a handful of other top tier campaign aides like kellyanne conway and steve bannon. from the beginning, this whole story about the republican operative tries to get his hands on stolen e-mails has been kind of an outlier. it's been this obscure avenue of reporting that feels like it could be explosive but it's hard to nail down exactly what any of it means. well, today, "the wall street journal" added a little bit mo

"the wall street journal" wrote a story about it in january of 1991, and it's interesting. there is even a little bit of foreshadowing for all of news the way that story was initially reported. "wall street journal" broke the story about the poker chip scheme and donald trump's dad's bag man in january of 1991. at few months later, "the wall street journal" had taken that reporter off the donald trump beat, because unbeknownst to theette or thes at that time, that reporter had once taken some boxing tickets off trump, tickets specifically to the evander holyfield/george foreman fight that year in atlantic city. editors at the "wall street journal" found out that their reporter had done that, had taken those tickets when trump himself called the editors of the paper to complain about their negative news coverage of him. having compromised this reporter by slipping him some boxing tickets that he would have to keep secret from his bosses, trump dropped the guillotine. he narcoticed the reporter and got the dude taken off the reporting beat. bleh, right? it's gross. both the st

i am worried about it because the fact that i work at the wall street journal editorial pages, i am not a socialist. but i am not that concerned of the popularity of socialism with millennial's. those who supported bernie sanders and support cortez now they don't know what socialism is. there is a historical ignorance they are not aware of the murderous track record of state socialism in the 20th century. they don't know about stalin or mao which is a failure of the education system. but when millennial say they support socialism, they think of something very different and to see the connection between the two how one leads to the other about when millennial's prefer socialism to capitalism they prefer the new deal and the great society to supply-side economics to be young is to be on the left why can't i be from stockholm why not sarasota or seattle? so you have hard-core sociable and a socialist that are lighting up all that capitalist against the wall i don't think there is that many of them. i think most millennial's are pulling together all the good things that they like and callin

yesterday the "wall street journal" had an op-ed piece around movie "to kill a mockingbird" with gregory peck. a great movie. there are two periods in the history of humanity i think are tragic. disgusting. prior to the civil war in america, if you were accused of a crime in the deep south and you happened to be black, it didn't matter what the facts were. you got hung. that's part of -- unfortunately that's a dark part of our history, but there it is. then in the 30s in germany, whether you did something wrong or not, chances are if you were a jew, you were convicted. i hope all these people understand that if the results of their behavior is tore brett kavanaugh not to get confirmed, we are saying that kind of behavior is not only okay, it's effective, it works. when you encourage bad behavior, you will get bad behavior. the bigger issue for me is not kavanaugh and whether he's qualified. the tragedy is the way this thing has been handled in the context of him as a human being. two daughters, coaching kids. we have got to remember -- this nonsense about how he behaved, his demeanor. ma
