Problems w/Mitchell's report: 1) Makes no mention of July 1 2) Doesn't describe Kavanaugh questioning at all 3) Examines a broader set of Ford's statements than Kavanaugh's 4) Holds Ford's statements to much higher standard of accuracy than Kavanaugh's 1/2

5) Dings Ford because of short term memory failures, when Kavanaugh forgot even more recent events https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/10/01/rachel-mitchell-is-not-very-good-at-propaganda/ … 2/2

Speaking of which: one thing Kavanaugh "couldn't remember" was whether he had had 3 or 4 interviews with SJC staff. We've only gotten transcripts for 2. So ... where are the other one(s)?

she was paid for a hit job. She wasn't able to deliver at the hearings and was shut down when she got close to Kav. So, she delivered the hit job in writing after the fact.

Who was paid for hit job?

Mitchell also made some ridiculous characterizations like that Dr. Ford "struggled" to name Kavanaugh as her attacker. She also made several imo highly inappropriate and unsupported insinuations that Dr. Ford was exaggerating the extent of the lasting effects of the attack

Seems to me that the most basic debunking is that THERE HAS BEEN NO INVESTIGATION and rarely do the authorities bring charges with no investigation. It seems highly irresponsible of her to release any report of this sort given the circumstances.

It's true that Mitchell is not very good at propaganda, but that's because she's a sex crimes prosecutor, not a politician, and that's what got her fired by the Republicans on the SJC. She may have wanted to please them, but we'll never know what she would have done to Kavanaugh.
