      Senate Dem leadership aide pushes back on GOP call to bring in outside counsel to question Kavanaugh/Ford. “Outside counsel doesn’t vote on Kavanaugh. Senators do. Republicans need to do their jobs and not hide,” aide told me

      Senate GOP leadership aide pushes back: “Senate Democrats have rightly said that the Senate should not bully Dr Ford - the way to depoliticize that and ensure that is with an outside counsel.”

          Implicit in that response: "If we don't get outside counsel when going to bully the crap out of her. Don't let us do that, and if you do it's your fault." Pretty standard GOP. #StopHittingYourself

          Senators need to be accountable for the questions asked in front of the public they serve. Just like Ford is going to be accountable for her answers. No deferring to a buffer.

          So wait, GOP Senator is admitting that he will bully Dr. Ford if she comes forward and testifies?

          You can’t re-gender bullying by bringing in a female prosecutor. She will still be their attack dog and much worse since she has no skin in the game, per se. Dr. Ford doesn’t want to be brutalized by men doesn’t mean she would prefer it from Aunt Lydia . This about sensitivity

          Hiring a professional interrogator is always seen as de-bullying the process.

          Hatch should be a witness and not an interrogator.

          I love how they insisted it has to be internal, she has to testify to the senate, and not the FBI. But now it has to be done by someone outside. I'm so very confused. It's almost like they're bs-ing just to get their way, and don't care about the country.

          I thought Dr. Ford didn't want eleven "old white men" questioning her? What is she afraid of from an outside counsel?
