      Be very clear: This is a political document, nothing more. It is not a legal document from a prosecutor. Mitchell wasn’t allowed to continue questioning Kavanaugh, has not been allowed to chase down any leads, and, in any event, this isn’t a criminal trial.https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1046593627202498560 …

      All the folks in my mentions: I’m not responding individually. Partisan counsel for committees write partisan “internal” memos all the time that are then obtained by journalists. They’re political documents aimed at moving the political needle, not legal documents. That’s all.

      The point is that Mitchell is not working as a sex crimes prosecutor here. She’s working as a partisan lawyer for the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee. That’s why she was hired, and that’s why she signed it using that title.

          Defining a document type has nothing to do with believing anything. It's what historians do when presented with a primary source. Political documents are different from legal documents.

          No, she wrote a document breaking down Fords inconsistencies, you don't like it cause it doesn't fit your narrative. At least be honest instead of this BS spin.

          I do usually block back people who block me b/c if I don’t they can see my tweets & I can’t see theirs...which doesn’t seem quite right.

          But she will presumably return from her leave very shortly and be a sex crimes prosecutor once again. That's the horrifying part. Hopefully this is all just part of a transition to full-time partisan counsel.

          Right from the rules for radicals playbook, you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger. You used the word partisan so much you must believe it by now. The document compared testimony to documents and other statements. Now try attacking the message.

          What could possibly be investigated? There have been 6 FBI background probes, so they already looked at Kav's drinking, etc. That's part of a background probe. As far as the alleged assault: When there's no date or place, there's nothing to investigate.

          You won’t. Dems are basically saying facts aren’t relevant. She said he assaulted her and that’s the end of it. Facts are just an inconvenience to them at this point
