    Senate GOP Whip John Cornyn explaining why Rachel Mitchell stopped asking Qs partway through: “Frankly, I think there was some frustration among the senators that they thought there were arguments that needed to be made, that she frankly was not equipped to make.”

        Her line of questioning regarding the calendar and the "brewski" on the weekday with Judge and PJ - which Booker picked up on - and the differences in handwriting opened the door to his culpability. She knew he was lying.

        I missed the part about difference in handwriting. What was that? It was so obvious they wanted to avoid that calendar entry.

        Replying to @DoriPrevin @WaPoSean @maggieNYT

        She asked if all of the handwriting was his own. If you look at the calendar, there are disparities. I might be wrong but I am convinced that Mitchell deliberately led him down a path where she knew he'd perjure himself. And her tone was icy.

        I think she found Ford credible.

        Replying to @missmindylouwho @DoriPrevin and

        Agreed. This is her specialty. She saw Kavanaugh's unhinged rebuttal and the dodgy calendar and knew he was lying. She also knew she was being used by the GOP and likely being patronized by Grassley et al. So she helped Ford, I think.

        Yep. At the end of Ford’s testimony, when Mitchell admitted the setting was not conducive to victims telling their stories it was obvious she believed Ford’s testimony.

        Sure the GOP support their women - just as long as they know their place and don’t interfere in men’s things!
