Anita Hill: It’s ‘Absolutely the Right Move’ to Have FBI Investigate Kavanaugh Before Dr. Ford Testifies

‘Maybe they’re not concerned or maybe they just don’t know how to handle this kind of a situation’

EXCERPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “We’re joined by the woman who's in the middle of those hearings, Dr. Anita Hill, now university professor of social policy, at Brandeis. Dr. Hill, thank you for joining us this morning. I want to start out with what we learned from Dr. Blasey Ford’s attorneys. They want an FBI investigation before she testifies. Is that the right move? Should the Senate honor her request?”
HILL: “Absolutely, it’s the right move. The hearing questions need to have a frame, and the investigation is the best frame for that; a neutral investigation that can pull together the facts, create a record, so that the senators can draw on the information they receive to develop their question. Also helpful would be bringing in expert testimony or experts who can help them shape the questions that they’re going to ask. All of this is really — is really something that I don’t think can be avoided if you really want to get to the truth --”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “You say that —“
HILL: “-- if that’s the purpose of this hearing.”
