      Note that they only got statements from Judge and (presumably) Smyth; there were not interviews. Also, of course, note that this was a Republican-only effort, given that the Democrats have not participated because they do not agree with Grassley’s process.

      Chris Geidner Retweeted Andrew Desiderio

      The Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans (11 men), who insist they can handle the investigation on their own this week, are, at the same time, trying to find "someone" — read: a woman — to handle the questioning of Ford next week.https://twitter.com/desiderioDC/status/1042851656935907329 …

      The Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans believe they are capable of questioning and, effectively, judging would-be justices for the Supreme Court. There is absolutely no reason, other than optics, why they could not handle next week's hearing.

      Surely you see this is lose-lose, right? If they decide to question her personally, they'll be attacked as "old white men interrogating a victim," and that will be held against them. If they hire outside counsel, it's just optics and tactics, and that will be held against them.

      As an FYI for folks, Whelan is a prominent legal conservative who’s been a key cheerleader for Kavanaugh on Twitter. They also worked closely together when Whelan was the principal deputy in DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel & Kavanaugh was in the Bush WH counsel’s office.

          The weird thing is he is inadvertently corroborating the details surrounding her claim, and with the maps and blueprints and sht, showing EXACTLY the TYPES of things an FBI investigation could help determine, ie narowing to location, date etc
