      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.

      Ford, asking whether taking a break works for Grassley. Grassley: We're here to accommodate you. Ford: I'm used to being collegial.

      Harris asks if they have copies of the docs Mitchell is using. It looks like the GOP have them. Grassley: You have another 30 seconds because I was rudely interrupted.

      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/ …

      Really wished the Dem men weren't coming making big soapbox statements so far. Durbin: With what degree of certainty do you believe you were assaulted by Kavanaugh. Ford: 100%.

      Ford: I was a teenager so I wanted to go in one door and my mother go in another. I chose the wrong door bc Mark Judge was arranging shopping carts. I said hello to him. His face was white, in saying hello back.

      Ford: We had always been friendly with one another. I wouldn't characterize him as not friendly. He looked ill. Says it happened 6-8 weeks after the incident.

      Grassley uses Chair's prerogative to blame the victim, complaining that she didn't come forward sooner.

      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.

          Grassley/Hatch's behavior over the past two years makes it hard for me to believe they're not at least financially entangled in the Russia '16 op.

          Major guilty consciences on GOP side. See it in everything they say and do. It's why I'm comfortable holding them accountable fully -- they know perfectly well that what they're doing is wrong.
