Earlier I debunked the GOP sex prosecutor's report attacking Ford. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/10/01/rachel-mitchell-is-not-very-good-at-propaganda/ …

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)?

Didn't ask Kavanaugh if his statements were accurate, only if they were consistent with prior testimony

Problem 0: Ford was not a prosecution witness in a criminal trial, Kavanaugh was not the defendant and Mitchell's role was neither prosecutor nor defense attorney. So her report was not relevant to her actual role.

And, of course, if she were acting as a real prosecutor, she would have demanded a much deeper investigation of the allegations. She knows this hasn't been done and has been refused by GOP.

shorter version 1) the report proves she lacks competency to make report

#2 is really crucial. She makes no attempt to evaluate - she doesn't even mention questions about - Kavanaugh's credibility. At all. So it's she said, he said. Or, she said, he yelled and blustered. And only what she said gets scrutinized.

Ford is on trial, that's obvious. Nothing changes for American women as long as this nation is mired in religious dogma.

So clear Kavanaugh and Judge have evaded giving full account. An examination of their weak, evasive statements:https://www.readingpokertells.com/2018/09/analysis-of-fox-news-interview-of-brett-kavanaugh-and-wife/ …

More problems Not a trial but Mitchell is a prosecutor of Dr Blake A judge of Kavanaugh And a partisan player in this fiasco. Dr. Ford's testimony was mocked and disparaged before she uttered a word. Judge Kavanaugh 's poor behavior was tolerated and excused. Problems...

Yes, but that is typically the case in the US. In the US the burden of proof is on the accusor (innocent until proven guilty). France is different, but there false accusations have far higher penalties.

One would think that if July 1 was the date of the assault, wouldn't it be easier to cross-check with 4th of july and celebrations? Ford remembers seeing Judge 6-8 weeks later. Surely one can ask can she recall whether 4th of july fell b4 or after the assault??
