      I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying. Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all.

      This is an important note. Also recall the way that Kavanaugh’s statements distinguishing what he said previously versus now regarding his confirmation hearings were defended vociferously as “immaterial” distinctions.https://twitter.com/igorvolsky/status/1045334394217660416?s=21 …

      Optics: They're going through Ford's statements sentence by sentence trying to find inconsistencies. Thousands of documents about Kavanaugh's record still remain concealed from the public.

      Mitchell is going back to how the polygraph is being paid for, prompting her lawyers to interject that they paid for it. Mitchell continues, asking if she'd later be passed on the cost, prompting Ford to mention possible support from GoFundMe pages. Meanwhile, over on Breitbart:pic.twitter.com/xtRC2jpNsL

      Katz (Ford's lawyer): You previously asked her to only answer as to what she was certain about, now you're asking her what's possible? Mitchell: "Is that an objection, counsel?" Ford, to her lawyers: "I don't understand."

      Mitchell is back to Ford's legal expenses. Bromwich, one of Ford's lawyers, steps in to note that both he and Katz, her other lawyer present, are representing her pro bono and do not expect to be paid.

          Mitchell is going down the path of "who was the person who introduced you to Kavanaugh," leading Ford to talk about Ed Whelan's looking around and naming that person and saying that she doesn't wish to name the person named by Whelan.
