      Grassley again asks to stop the clock while she consults with her lawyers, and tries to accurately answer the question. Any bets that he treats Kavanaugh differently?

          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 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.

          I enjoy seeing @ChuckGrassley defensive. At least he’s not too senile to know he should be defensive! Stepping in shit repeatedly - he can’t help himself.

          My mom's 85 year old neighbor crashed a helicopter recently (it was in the news). He was a licensed pilot but....85. I think of the copter crash every time Chuck comes on the screen.

          Well, of course. Clearly the only person's reputation at this hearing that he is more interested in protecting than Kavanaugh's, is his own.
