Coons Admits Dems May Ask FBI To Investigate Kavanaugh Gang Rape Allegations

RUSH EXCERPT:

COONS: "I would think if they take up a supplemental background investigation they would test the allegations made by Dr. Ford."
CUOMO: "Just Ford?"
COONS: "They would question some of the folks — and they would question some of the folks who have already come forward in the public and made statements about Judge Kavanaugh. For example, you were talking at the opening of the show about the credibility of his categorical denial, his categorical denial that he’s ever had a night that he can’t remember from drinking. There are already several folks who have come forward, college classmate, roommate, acquaintances to say that’s not true. We were with him. We have evidence. There’s obviously a list of folks who are classmates or friends who have come forward to say we support Judge Kavanaugh and we support his characterization. I think there is a fairly ready list of people —"
CUOMO: "What about Ramirez and Swetnick?
COONS: "I think the statement made here was all credible allegations so there’s a number of allegations made public where there are sworn statements in front of the committee. I think that’s what ought to be the first road map for the FBI is to look into those allegation that is are in front of us. There are many potential other allegations, and I would assume the FBI could make some quick decisions about which of them fall into the category of credible or not. The central issue that got us to this moment, Chris, was Dr. Ford’s testimony in front of the committee. It was the fact that by the end of the time she testified there were real doubts. There were concerns on the participate of several senators on and off committee who were left uncomfortable with the idea that we would push forward with Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination without any further investigation of her allegations. I think that’s central to this. It’s possible he will be cleared of these allegations, that further evidence corroborating Dr. Ford’s allegations may be uncovered. We are hearing those folks who have come forward with allegations, we are respecting them and investigating and that we’re trying to add a bipartisan commitment to due process to what was a pretty rough and tumble, divisive process here so far. This thing is tearing our country apart. What I embraced was his spirit of trying to work together to get back to a sense of what a fair hearing would look like."
