For more than two months the senate have pored over judge coveralls professional Rucker. We reviewed the 300 plus dependents whose author while serving. On the DC circuit. More pages of documents than have ever been produced for Supreme Court nomination. More than for the file past nominations. I'm Bob. And testimony from prominent legal scholars and top litigators. Who praised the nominees and elect and his exemplary performance. On the federal death. We've also considered a wealth of evidence that pertains to judge capitalist character. And his personal integrity. We've heard testimony or received open waters from literally hundreds. Of men and women who know judge Brett Cavanaugh. We work belongs out. Or clerk for mr. jobs. Or who have known him and his family personally. Over the years. This is what the senate has considered. For the past seven date damage. In the senate. At around the country. Almost everyone who went into this process move an open mind. Who is prepared to give judge Kavanagh fair here. Has come away. Impressed. But now. Now. An accusation. Of 36 year old miss Condo. Dating back to high school. Has been brought forward at the last minute. In an irregular man out. It is an accusation which judge Kavanagh has completely. And unequivocally. You're not. This is what is. This is a completely. False allegation. I've never done any thing like what the accuser described. To her art. Or to any law. It is an accusation which the ranking member of the committee of jurisdiction has been all about for at least six weight. All about sexually. Yet chose to keep secret until the eleventh hour. Negotiate. Nor any of our democratic colleagues chose to raise this allegation. During the committee's staff about partisan background calls. With the nominated. They did not resident. Even when the name. Even with the name redacted. In the sixth if meetings 65 meetings judge Kavanagh fellow senators before his confirmation hearing. Including his private meeting. With the ranking member. They did not raise it. Even with an angry doctor. In four days of exhaustive public hearings while just Kavanagh testified under wrote. It really chose to raise Mary and other matters of the hearing included strong comes. A bizarre. Innuendo. They did not raise it in the closed session the proper forum where such an allegation could have been addressed. With discretion. And sensitivity. Dated on races. In the thousand plus follow up question to senator sent to judge Kavanagh. In writing. But now. Now. At the eleventh hour. With committee votes own schedule. After Democrats are spent weeks and weeks. Searching for any possible reason that the nomination should be too late. Now. Now they choose for introduce. This allegation. Not there the standard bipartisan process. Not by botching the Judiciary Committee colleagues in committees through proper channels. All but about leaking it to the press. Because the chain of custody of this letter runs through the democratic side of the Judiciary Committee. That the chain of custody. I can't explain the situation any better than the senior senator from my and put it yesterday evening when she's. If they believe the judge Kavanagh its accuser. Why deny services information earlier so that he could be questioned about. And if they didn't believe her and chose to withhold the information. Why did they decide at the eleventh hour to relation. It's really not fair to either of them the way. It was handled. Well if the senior senator from Texas said yesterday. Or earlier today. The Democrats have so egregiously mishandled this up until now it's no excuse for off to do the side. Just because the Democrats of egregiously mishandled announced. So senator corn corn and there's no excuse for off due to the find them. I'm glad the chairman Grassley is following standard practice. And regular order. And he stated he plans to pursue this matter by the book. With bipartisan interviews of both judge Kavanagh. And doctor forward. I have great confidence in chairman Grassley and his ability. To proceed. Through this process.
