Willie Geist on Kavanaugh: ‘There Will Be an Asterisk Next To His Name as Long’ as on the Supreme Court

KAY I do agree ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ that Brett Kavanaugh has ░░░░░░░░ this part of a ░░░░░░░░ campaign because that by ░░░░░░░░ is passing a judgment ░░░░░░░░ what these women are ░░░░░░░░ BRZEZINSKIN Both of them ░░░░░░░░ going to say that ░░░░░░░░ re smeared That s ░░░░░░░░ right We should just ░░░░░░░░ them KAY But I ░░░░░░░░ that is why we ░░░░░░░░ to have some kind ░░░░░░░░ an investigation that probably ░░░░░░░░ not what we re ░░░░░░░░ to get on Thursday ░░░░░░░░ is the Senate hearing ░░░░░░░░ every FBI official that ░░░░░░░░ have spoken to has ░░░░░░░░ to me Look we ░░░░░░░░ do this There are ░░░░░░░░ that we could do ░░░░░░░░ know this drill even ░░░░░░░░ it dates back 30 ░░░░░░░░ We may want come ░░░░░░░░ something dispositive we may ░░░░░░░░ be able to prove ░░░░░░░░ but people do say ░░░░░░░░ that are different to ░░░░░░░░ than they say to ░░░░░░░░ investigators when they re ░░░░░░░░ threat of perjury And ░░░░░░░░ are ways that investigators ░░░░░░░░ ask questions and dig ░░░░░░░░ information that journalists don ░░░░░░░░ necessarily have I think ░░░░░░░░ would get closer perhaps ░░░░░░░░ some kind of understanding ░░░░░░░░ we went through that ░░░░░░░░ and it would be ░░░░░░░░ neutral Something that could ░░░░░░░░ taken out of this ░░░░░░░░ moment politically that we ░░░░░░░░ in and made more ░░░░░░░░ would not BRZEZINSKI Speaking ░░░░░░░░ reporters is not KAY ░░░░░░░░ s not like speaking ░░░░░░░░ FBI investigators SCARBOROUGH And ░░░░░░░░ did you think Willie ░░░░░░░░ did you think of ░░░░░░░░ interview GEIST Well I ░░░░░░░░ it was extraordinary on ░░░░░░░░ fronts Number one that ░░░░░░░░ did the interview Usually ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court nominee is ░░░░░░░░ in a black box ░░░░░░░░ his hearing and then ░░░░░░░░ the vote we don ░░░░░░░░ see or hear from ░░░░░░░░ nominee Number two let ░░░░░░░░ step back and think ░░░░░░░░ it We have a ░░░░░░░░ Court nominee discussing when ░░░░░░░░ lost his virginity on ░░░░░░░░ television as a way ░░░░░░░░ this process he believes ░░░░░░░░ him But I think ░░░░░░░░ are so many people ░░░░░░░░ so badly right now ░░░░░░░░ s so much willful ░░░░░░░░ there are so many ░░░░░░░░ who have made up ░░░░░░░░ minds and there are ░░░░░░░░ on the right who ░░░░░░░░ saying she s a ░░░░░░░░ she s making this ░░░░░░░░ You have no idea ░░░░░░░░ don t know the ░░░░░░░░ There are people on ░░░░░░░░ other side that are ░░░░░░░░ he s a liar ░░░░░░░░ s making up his ░░░░░░░░ of the story You ░░░░░░░░ no idea you don ░░░░░░░░ have all the facts ░░░░░░░░ that s why I ░░░░░░░░ said what Martha asked ░░░░░░░░ Judge Kavanaugh there is ░░░░░░░░ central question If you ░░░░░░░░ Judge Kavanaugh wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ want an independent body ░░░░░░░░ the FBI to take ░░░░░░░░ look at this to ░░░░░░░░ this Because if they ░░░░░░░░ through a Senate hearing ░░░░░░░░ it becomes a circus ░░░░░░░░ push it through he ░░░░░░░░ he s seated on ░░░░░░░░ Supreme Court there will ░░░░░░░░ as we ve said ░░░░░░░░ week an asterisk next ░░░░░░░░ his name as long ░░░░░░░░ he’s there.”
