republican governor of new jersey and epa administrator in the bush administration, christine todd whitman and paul bagala. governor, in response, i saw in response to this essay and to this opinion piece, i saw that you suggest that they should go about -- they are so mad, the cabinet should invoke the 25th amendment. that takes two-thirds of congress. do you think that's the remedy now? >> the remedy certainly isn't staying within the white house and being an enabler if they think this president is off the rails. to have what really bothers me is we have a shadow government, people not elected, people who have not been vetted. they are now saying they are taking papers off the desk, they are trying to keep his worst instincts in check. for him to say that if impeachment goes on it's somebody else's fault -- no. we end up with president trump because people have not been voting in primaries and they have allowed the extreme elements of the parties to choose their choices for the fall. they didn't luke thoike those. we have gotten here over time. what worries me is you have people saying,

joining us now, attorney jessica levinson and harry whitman. why they're piling up, brett kavanaugh continues to say, they're absolutely untrue. >> well, it puts enormous weight. it is not that one accusation would necessarily break the camel's back but two accusations i think is about four times worse than one. and now that we have three accusations that paint a very similar and consistent story, i think it is exponentially worse for brett kavanaugh. particularly because the judge's defense all along has been i am a choir boy. i am an upstanding citizenment all i cared about was doing well in school and going to church and playing sports. when that's the defense, i was an outstanding character, i am absolutely unimpeachment in the motives and these allegations consistently go to the heart of that defense, i think it puts enormous pressure on him tomorrow even though i believe that the senate judiciary committee hearings are not set up in any way for a fact finding mission. >> so, harry, i want do get back to a point that garrett haake made. se
