can you explain this a little? the claim here is that Ford's attorneys misinformed her such that she felt obligated to appear in Washington instead of offering written testimony in California? Do I have that right?

That seems to be the upshot of the Tweet-storm. I have not reviewed the complaint. They're saying that, if Ford's testimony was accurate, her attorney(s) breached their ethical duty to keep Ford informed of material developments & allow her to direct the case.

Uh oh. Does this put her at risk of perjury?

That's the trap; either she perjured herself or her lawyers committed an ethical beach.

I don't understand how she would have perjured herself (assuming her testimony itself was not false witness). What difference does it make where she testified and what her state of knowledge re: her options were? Am I missing something?

FORD: I just appreciate that you did offer that. I wasn’t clear on what the offer was. If you were going to come out to see me, I would have happily hosted you and had you — had been happy to speak with you out there. I just did not — it wasn’t clear to me that that was the case.

She said it "wasn't clear to" her that there was an offer to take her testimony in California. Her counsel's obligation was to make the offer clear to her.

ah I see. this seems like a procedural error, mainly. an ethical failure of her attorneys if that is the case.

I think it is very likely she was fully aware of the offer and on advice of counsel didn't take it for strategic purposes. Regardless, I doubt much will come of this.

That sounds plausible. My speculation is that everyone involved understood that testifying in Washington was the highest publicity play they could make, so they wanted to make it seem like that was obligatory.
