Ford: People were giving me advice on the beach, people who don't know. Somebody said call the NYT, call the WaPo, go to your congressperson, civic route, go to Eshoo. And I also put in the anonymous tip, unfortunately neither got back to me b4 nominee announced.

Blumenthal preps to read Lindsey statement from being a trial lawyer prosecuting rape cases. Graham, looking REALLY uncomfortable, "I'm not under oath." Blumenthal reads Graham talking abt courage from deep and hidden place it takes to testify. Ford looks like she's weeping

Mitchell: Were you advised to take a lie detector test? Bromwich: You are asking questions that may go to advice from counsel. [After some delay] Ford: Based on advice from counsel I thought it would be helpful. I endured it.

Mitchell Did anyone advise him on that choice. Ford: he was the person who came to do the test. I had left my grandmother's funeral that day. Mitchell: SO he administered a poly on the day of your grandmother's funeral.

Mitchell: Did you ever have advice from someone on taking a poly. Ford: Never. Mitchell: Did you pay for the poly yourself. Ford: I don't think so.

Mitchell really walked into with those insinuations about Ford being coached on the poly, bc when Kavanaugh gets asked if he'd take a poly he's going to look like an asshole. Ford: I remember the machine being hooked up to my body. I remember crying a lot.

Looks like Ford would have preferred to keep going. Republicans want a half hour to research what Mitchell has elicited so far, I bet.
