Lindsey Graham Just Became Feinstein's Worst Nightmare Investigation Imminent Now
and we are joined now by one of the president's closest allies in the Senate
Senator Lindsey Graham a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee we saw him in
the open Senator Graham thanks for joining us this morning we just heard
the president say he wants the FBI to do their job that he would give them free
rein but the reports are that the that the instructions given to the FBI by the
Senate leadership and by the White House actually have a quite limited a witness
list is that true I know that senator flake Collins and Murkowski wanted a
limited review they wanted to talk the FBI talk to the witnesses that dr. Ford
named they want to talk to mr. Ramirez because she refused to talk to the
committee they're going to ask mark judge did you ever see Brett Kavanaugh
drugged women or engage in gang rape and I think that's going to be the focus of
it so there won't be so Julie sweat Nick will not will not be interviewed by the
FBI I think the allegation that she makes is
outrageous not one Democrat mentioned it but mark judge who's named by Miss sweat
Nick is being part of the gang rape and the drug and women will be asked did he
ever see this happen or did kept at seek heaven or engage in it I got a real echo
here so I'm so impart I'm sorry I I'm sorry for that I know we're trying
to fix it fix it as we speak one of the questions though is it
appears that the FBI will not be invested will not be questioning those
College witnesses who contradict Brett Kavanaugh testimony about his drinking
now isn't that relevant given that there clearly was drinking going on at least
it's alleged at the party no I think you're trying to portray him as a
stumbling bumbling drunk gang rapist who during high school in college was Bill
Cosby six FBI background checks over the years would have uncovered this what we
will investigate is who and Dianne Feinstein's office referred dr. Ford to
miss Katz s illegal inappropriate and Senate so the FBI will do a supplemental
background investigation then I'm going to call for an investigation of what
happened in this committee who betrayed dr. Ford's trust who in Feinstein's
office recommended cats as a lawyer why did miss Ford not know that the
committee was willing to go to California who released the anonymous
letter given to the committee by Cory Gardner we're going to do a wholesale
full-scale investigation of what I think was a despicable process to deter it
from happening again do you accept Dianne Feinstein's denial
yes she says that I do to her but only to her she says that her style her
respect was somebody in her office let's put this way if this was a democratic
nominee and addict user came to Lindsey Graham's office and somebody my office
recommended a conservative activist lawyer if you think they need a lawyer
why don't you tell the committee about it that I did what was done here hide
the ball disclose it after the fact I would be destroyed Ryan Grimm who first
wrote about the letter says that it did not come from Dianne Feinstein's office
I don't know all I can tell you is it came from somebody with a political
motive there were three people had the letter people in Feinstein's office the
congresswoman from California and Miss Katz and the legal team no friend would
do this to dr. Ford I believed her when she said she wanted to remain anonymous
I'm shocked not one media outlets reporting the fact
during the hearing she didn't know that the committee was willing to go to
California again if the shoe were on the other foot and Republicans had done this
we would be destroyed would be under ethical investigation so I'm going to
make sure that when this debacle is over that we look at what happened to deter
it in the future are you convinced that if the FBI turns up no new allegations
against judge Kavanaugh that I know you've you've met with Susan Collins and
Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Flake that he's going to be confirmed I think so I think
what happened here is that three see these three senators who of my friends
wanted the FBI to do what the committee has done they wanted the FBI to talk to
mark judge PJ and Miss Kaiser and Miss Kaiser
testimony was important to me mr. Kyser never said I don't believe dr. Ford but
when dr. Ford says I was at this party where it happened it I wasn't there I
don't know Brett Kavanaugh so she was confused as to me and me being there so
I think there will be testimony taken by the FBI from these witnesses miss
Ramirez will be interviewed by the FBI FBI and Mark judge will be asked did you
ever witness Brett Kavanaugh drug or gang rape women and I think that would
be the scope of it and this should be the scope of the senator isn't isn't
testimony about judge Kavanaugh is drinking in college if you're
interviewing Deborah Ramirez isn't that relevant
he's had six six FBI background checks he's been on the political stage for 26
years he's not a stumbling bumbling drunk I don't believe that you could
have accomplished what he's accomplished been a serial rapist in high school and
stop it for the rest of your life not one person who's been charged up during
his legal career whoever said he did anything
inappropriate so the devil's triangle is not what people said on the Internet it
is a drinking game I think he's highly qualified I think
he's a capable man I think he was his life was was ruined here I'm going to
vote for him unless some bombshell comes out that I don't know about now I'm
gonna look into the process that led to this debacle to the effort to destroy
this good man a lot of people believe it's a noble cause to take down
Cavanaugh a lot of people in your business will never give scrutiny to
people who try to take down a conservative that's too bad but I'm
going to give it scrutiny one of the concerns raised by Democrats including
our next guest Senator mazie Hirono is the judge Kavanagh's testimony on
Thursday showed that he was a fierce partisan that doesn't have the right
temperament for the Supreme Court want to show what she said yeah a partisan
political operative with an agenda the very worry that kept him from
confirmation to the DC Circuit for three years his own words reinforced a concern
that I am any of us here have that he cannot be a fair and impartial judge
your response my response to Carano that I think you're the truth you
spoke truth that you said the goal was to delay this hearing to draw it out
past the midterms keep this seat open and have it replaced by Democrat in 2020
I'm offended by the fact that anybody would hold it against Brett Kavanaugh to
be upset by the way he was treated words were put in his mouth that he didn't say
he's accused of being a gang rapist a bumbling stumbling drunk a degenerate
person and he was hit by a truck and my problem is with the people who did this
to him not hi responded I've known him for 20 years and we're going to get to
the bottom of how I was treated why was creep treated this way senator Hirono
said men need to shut up I got this job from the men and women of South Carolina
I'm not going to shut up I voted for Sotomayor and Kagan I find it offensive
that if somebody defends themselves against wholesale character
assassination trying to destroy him and his family that the temperament I saw
was a man who was innocent who was rightly offended by being destroyed for
a political purpose so I can assure you that I do not share senator Hirono
view of Judge Cavanaugh's temperament my view is that he was treated very badly
and hit every right to do what he did he's gonna be a great judge and he's
going to be on the Supreme Court other experts have suggested that if he does
indeed get on the Supreme Court he might have to recuse himself from suits
brought by Democrats in Congress or by liberal groups yeah yeah well what a new
standard here you destroy a man's life then you say he's unfit to judge you
because of the way you treated him we're not gonna play that game this is not
going to be the future of the nomination process in the committee where you
accuse a guy of being a gang rapist an alcoholic bumbling stumbling sexual
predator and you get upset when he forcefully fights back against liberal
smears this will not be the new standard of temperament he has never demonstrated
anything in his life George suggests that these allegations are true dr. Ford
something happened to her but she can't tell us the time the place and everybody
knew said they don't know what she's talking
about she was as abused as much as he was somebody betrayed her trust for a
political purpose they hid this from the committee they sprung it on us to delay
the hearing somebody leaked an anonymous letter that make the fourth allegation
the fifth allegation was knocked down as being false but it went to the middie
media anyway so I'm just completely disgusted the way way this was handled
and he's going to be on the bench but we're going to continue to look at this
process because if isset the new normal god help the next person person who
comes you mentioned dr. Christine Blasi Ford he said she was abused by the
Democrats I'm Sean Hannity program you seem to
suggest she has a problem I want to play that I am now more convinced than ever
that he didn't do it that he's the right guy to be on the court that miss Ford
has got a problem and destroying judge Cavanaugh's life won't fix her problem
yeah yeah I think she does I think it was clear to me that something happened
to miss Ford she's lived in accomplished life but we have to look at this through
some prism I don't assume that he's guilty and he's got to prove to me he's
not this is a very serious accusation 36 years ago to me she she was troubled by
something but when it comes to Brett Kavanaugh him fatica Lee denied it he
went through his diary everything we know about him suggests he's not this
kind of person the people that she claimed were there said they don't know
what she's talking about she couldn't remember how she got there and how she
got back my problem is not with dr. Ford I really believe she was horribly
treated whoever betrayed her trust to remain anonymous she says she's a
hundred percent sure she says she's a percent you
she says she's 100% certain whose breadkappa well I can tell you this I've
been a lawyer for a long time and you look at the accusation and it has to be
corroborated and here's what I'm a hundred percent certain of when she said
miss Kaiser was at that party she was wrong when she claims that when people
claimed that Brett Kavanaugh not just her is a bumbling stumbling drunk who
drugs women is a gang rapists I don't believe it I have a lot of sympathy for
what for it's going through but the
allegations did not hold up she can file a complaint in Maryland a criminal
complaint that will not get out of the batter's box if you're accused of a
crime in this country you have to be put on notice of when it happened where it
happened there has to be some corroboration
so this complaint will never get legs in the legal system but it can't go forward
but I'll promise you this this committee I hope senator Grassley will do what
I've suggested investigate the abuse here who leaked anonymous letters who
referred dr. Ford tore a lawyer that was a political activist did anybody in the
committee betray her trust by sending it to the to the media so the hearing would
be delayed why did she not know that we were willing to go to California how did
that happen could our lawyers possibly have not told her that if these lawyers
did not tell her that we're willing to California to avoid this debacle I want
to know that and hold them accountable senator Graham thanks for your time this
morning thank you god bless you and God bless america
you
