>> THIS HAS BEEN VIEWED AS YOU SAYING THAT YOU DON'T THINK " ROE" IS SETTLED .>> IN THAT DRAFT LETTER, IT WAS REFERRING TO THE VIEWS OF LEGAL SCHOLARS, AND I THINK-- I THINK MY COMMENT IN THE EMAIL WAS THAT MIGHT BE OVERSTATING THE POSITION OF LEGAL SCHOLARS, AND SO IT WASN'T A TECHNICALLY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION .>> Glor: JAN CRAWFORD IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS AT COVERING THE COURT. SHE'S BEEN COVERING THIS HEARING AGAIN TODAY. JAN, NOW THAT DAY THREE IS WRAPPING UP, WHAT HAS BEEN THE MAIN TAKEAWAY HERE ?>> Reporter: I MEAN, I THINK THE MAIN TAKEAWAY IS JUDGE KAVANAUGH, HE IS PERFORMING WELL. I MEAN, DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T MADE ANY REAL HEADWAY IN TRIPPING HIM UP ON ANY OF THE MAJOR ISSUES. HE IS EXPLAINING HIS PAST CASES. REMEMBER HE WAS A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT JUDGE FOR 12 YEARS, AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S GIVING A LEGAL SEMINAR ON THESE AREAS OF THE LAW, WHETHER IT'S AFFIRMATIVE ACTION OR EXECUTIVE POWER. IN FACT, ONE REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOLD ME DURING A BREAK THAT HE THOUGHT JUDGE KAVANAUGH WAS DOING BETTER THAN EVEN CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS DID WHEN HE WAS UP HERE FOR HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING. WHAT WE SAW TODAY WAS DEMOCRATS THAT WERE FOCUSED MORE ON PROCESS, THAT REPUBLICANS WERE TRYING TO SPEED THINGS UP TOO MUCH AND EMAILS THEY WANTED RELEASED. BUT I THINK IN THEIR QUESTIONS, I MEAN, SENATORS FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU COULD REALLY HAVE THIS SENSE THAT THEY THINK THAT JUDGE KAVANAUGH IS GOING TO GET VOTED OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE, AND ULTIMATELY, HE'S GOING TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. JEFF .>> Glor: OKAY, JAN CRAWFORD, THANKS VERY MUCH. HURRICANE FLORENCE, THE FIRST MAJOR STORM IN THE ATLANTIC THIS YEAR, WAS DOWNGRADED TODAY TO A CATEGORY 1, BUT IT IS EXPECTED TO REGAIN STRENGTH NEXT WEEK. TONIGHT, FLORENCE IS ABOUT 1, 000 MILES OFF BERMUDA. EACH LINE ON THIS MAP REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT POTENTIAL PATH FOR FLORENCE. YOU CAN SEE A WIDE RANGE, SEVERAL MODELS OUT TONIGHT, SHOWING IT COULD HIT THE EAST COAST NEXT WEEK. AN AFGHAN POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED EIGHT COLLEAGUES TODAY, THE LATEST INSIDER ATTACK IN AFGHANISTAN. VIOLENCE HAS INCREASED SHARPLY IN AFGHANISTAN THIS YEAR AS WE APPROACH THE 17th ANNIVERSARY OF THE U. S. INVASION, AMERICA'S LONGEST WAR. CHARLIE D'AGATA IS IN KABUL .\( SIRENS )>> Reporter: RELENTLESS VIOLENCE HERE HAS ONLY SURGED SINCE WE ARRIVED. FOUR ATTACKS IN 24 HOURS HAVE LEFT AT LEAST 40 DEAD. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE SECURITY PRECAUTIONS YOU HAVE TO TAKE WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING ANYWHERE IN THE CAPITAL-- FLAK JACKET, ARMORED CAR. ENDLESS CHECKPOINTS. BLAST WALLS HAVE TURNED PARTS OF KABUL INTO A FORTRESS. THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY LOOKS MORE LIKE A MAXIMUM- SECURITY PRISON, WITH GOOD REASON. AFTER CLEARING SEVERAL SECURITY CHECKS WE FINALLY ARRIVED AT THE UNIVERSITY THAT CAME UNDER ATTACK BACK IN AUGUST OF 2016. THAT'S WHEN TALIBAN SUSPECTS WENT ON A 10- HOUR RAMPAGE, KILLING 16 STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND POLICE. STUDENT BRESHNA MUSAZAI WATCHED THEM BLAST THEIR WAY ON TO THE COMPOUND .>> I HEARD THEM YELLING AT OTHER STUDENTS, AND THEY WERE THROWING GRENADES IN THE BUILDING .>> Reporter: SHE COULDN'T RUN FROM THE GUNMEN BECAUSE OF A LIMP FROM CHILDHOOD POLIO .>> WHEN HE SHOT ME, I STARTED TO PRETEND DEAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO TO SAVE MYSELF. AND AFTER THAT HE SHOT ME AGAIN TO MAKE SURE I'M DEAD .>> Reporter: A UNIVERSITY TRUSTEE SPONSORED A TRIP FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT IN DALLAS. SHE RETURNED TO SCHOOL LAST YEAR AND GRADUATED IN MAY WITH HONORS. BUT SHE FEARS MORE THAN EVER FOR HER LIFE .>> WHEN I LEAVE HOME, I KNOW-- I KNOW THAT I MIGHT NOT GO BACK HOME ALIVE .>> Reporter: BECAUSE THE SITUATION HERE HAS DETERIORATED EVEN FURTHER SINCE THE ATTACK. THE THREATS ARE EVERYWHERE. INSIDER ATTACKS AGAINST AFGHAN FORCES, INSIDER ATTACKS AGAINST U. S. FORCES, AND HERE IN KABUL, DESPITE CHECKPOINTS LIKE THAT, NOBODY SEEMS CAPABLE OF STOPPING TALIBAN OR ISIS FROM STRIKING THE CAPITAL. 17 YEARS AND AN ESTIMATED $ 1 TRILLION U. S. TAX DOLLARS LATER, YET, REAL SECURITY HERE STILL REMAINS OUT OF REACH. JEFF, WHAT, WE DIDN'T SEE TODAY DRIVING AROUND KABUL IS U. S. TROOPS. IT'S NOT PART OF THEIR MISSION HERE TO PATROL KABUL. AND AS WE'VE SEEN THIS WEEK, THEY'D BE POTENTIAL TARGETS .>> Glor: CHARLIE D'AGATA WHO IS SPENDING ALL WEEK INSIDE AFGHANISTAN. CHARLIE, THANKS. OFFICIALS IN NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, AND NEW MEXICO ANNOUNCED NEW INVESTIGATIONS TODAY INTO THE HANDLING OF SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. MISSOURI RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A SIMILAR INVESTIGATION. THIS FOLLOWS A REPORT LAST MONTH BY A PENNSYLVANIA GRAND JURY ALLEGING DECADES OF ABUSE OF MORE THAN 1, 000 CHILDREN BY MORE THAN 300 PRIESTS.

HE WOULD TAKE US OUT AND JUST CONSTANTLY GIVING, GIVING-- GAVE US STUFF, BOUGHT US CLOTHES, BOUGHT US TOYS, ANYTHING WE WANTED .>> Reporter: THE FORTNEYS BELIEVE GIELLA WAS GROOMING THE GIRLS. 13- YEAR- OLD PATTY WAS MOLESTED AS HER LITTLE SISTERS LOOKED ON .>> HE WAS CONSTANTLY HUGGING ME IN FRONT OF THEM, KISSING ME IN FRONT OF THEM, TRYING TO PUT HIS TONGUE IN YOUR MOUTH. HE NEEDED TO KNOW MY CUP SIZE. I WOULD CONTINUALLY REMIND MYSELF, " HE'S MY PRIEST. HE'S THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN. THIS IS OKAY .">> I MEAN, EVEN AT OUR KITCHEN TABLE THINGS HAPPENED, IN FRONT OF MY PARENTS' FACE THAT THEY COULDN'T SEE .>> Reporter: FATHER GIELLA RETIRED IN 1989, BUT THE FAMILY STILL SAW HIM .>> MY NIECE ACTUALLY FOUND A BOX THAT HAD SOME PORNOGRAPHY IN IT AND NUDE PHOTOS OF CAROLYN .>> Reporter: THEIR PARENTS, ED AND PATTY FORTNEY, IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE PHOTOS TO THE HARRISBURG DIOCESES IN 1992.

I GOT TO CONTEMPLATE ON IT PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS, TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE HELL I WENT WRONG, YOU KNOW .>> Reporter: HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW ?>> WE WERE ON THE INSIDE. WE DIDN'T KNOW. I MEAN, CAN YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT IF WE KNEW WE WOULD LET SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN TO OUR BABIES ?>> Reporter: THE FORTNEY FAMILY DID SETTLE TWO CIVIL LAWSUITS WITH THE HARRISBURG DIOCESES. THE SISTERS SAY THEY NEVER DISCUSSED THEIR ABUSE AS CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING .>> FOR A LONG TIME, WE JUST-- IT'S NOT THAT WE WEREN'T CLOSE. WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER .>> RIGHT .>> SO THERE'S ALWAYS THIS BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM .>> YEAH .>> WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER .>> YEAH .>> BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT .>> Reporter: TODAY, THEY'RE SLOWLY TELLING THEIR STORIES TO EACH OTHER WITH THE SUPPORT OF THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO SHARE YOUR STORY ?>> WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO DO MORE TO HELP PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE .>> I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGE. I PRAY THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE CHANGE --\( VOICE BREAKING ) BECAUSE NOBODY SHOULD LIVE LIKE THIS, WITH THIS PAIN. NOBODY SHOULD. IT'S EVERY DAY. BUT I HAVE HOPE NOW. I DO .>> Reporter: THE BISHOP OF THE HARRISBURG DIOCESES TOLD CBS NEWS TODAY THAT HE SENDS HIS DEEPEST APOLOGIES AND PRAYERS TO THE FORTNEY FAMILY.
