      Ford: Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two and them having fun at my expense. I was underneath one of them while the two laughed, two good friends having a good time with each other.

      Since being laughed at is indelibly etched in Ford's mind, here's a reminder that Brett Kavanaugh refused to look for emails from Alex Konzinski where his mentor was laughing at women. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/09/23/brett-kavanaugh-just-provided-compelling-evidence-he-received-sexually-explicit-emails-from-alex-kozinski/ …

          Ford has been, obviously and understandably, really emotional. But Chuck Grassley has been as emotional -- he's really defensive about his role here.

          Ford's comment about the indelible memory of being laughed at is consistent with Brett's in-joke about the Renate alumni, a guy joking with his buddies at the expense of women. I'd sure like him to look for Kozinski emails to see whether he continued to do so until recently.

          HE is rightly pointing out that had the allegation made known to the committee, this would've all been handled by FBI during background check and Dr, Ford's "privacy" wouldnt have suffered. In no way Grassley asserted blame on Ford for coming in late. You're a liar for sayng so.

          It can still all be handled by the FBI. The only thing preventing that is Grassley and his Republican cronies who don't want a thorough, impartial investigation.

          That one I think he was blaming Dems for holding onto the letter until the last couple weeks before releasing it. Doesn't preclude them from opening an FBI investigation now though. He's just looking to grandstand, get the hearing over, and push this nom through.
