    Also was stopped from asking Kavanaugh questions when she established that the July 1 get-together might be the date in question.https://twitter.com/adamslily/status/1046719466116194304 …

    Rachel Mitchell: - didn’t interview outside witnesses - didn’t interview the agent who administered the polygraph - admitted the hearing was not a good way to evaluate Ford’s story - didn’t have an investigation to base any findings on Oh, and she’s paid by Republicans.

        And one other thing Mitchell did not do is subject Kavanaugh's explanations to same scrutiny for consistency as Ford's. His were all over the map.

        In case you didn't think about this when Kavanaugh said they NEVER partied on weekdays (ie Thursday, July 1st):https://twitter.com/MyOtterName/status/1046464047225290752?s=19 …

        Replying to @MyOtterName @AnneCW and 4 others
        Kavanaugh makes a point about how they never partied on weekdays. Yet, if you look at his calendar, it sure looks like 4th of July weekend was a long weekend. Friday off to head to the beach with Squi. So were all his extracurricular activities cancelled? @FBI

        also, bringing charges was not the objective. Her memo contains nothing on the subject of the confirmation. Is he fit? THAT was the question.

        Correct. No "reasonable prosecutor" would accept submitted statements (reference them) without actually questioning the individuals who provided them. It's classic, "look over here, but not over there" trick of the con.

        One of many instances of perjury, he said he never attended a party like the one Ford described. What about July 1st, asshole? Oh... erm... but Kathy Griffin

        How can she ever work again? This is so obviously biased. Is she getting some giant payoff?

        In a world concerned with justice, process, and law, #Mitchell would have damaged her reputation beyond repair. #Trump’s #filth rubs off on anyone involved with him. #KavanaughInvestigation #kavanaugh #corruption

        I watched Dr Ford (all of it) and read the report. In my opinion the report is not an accurate representation of Dr Ford !

        When the Dems came out swinging at BK, it was fare to say the GOP should have done the questioning at that point. #NewRules
