      Senate Judiciary has hired an outside counsel to question Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The individual is a woman with expertise in sex crimes prosecution, aides say. Grassley says he won’t disclose the identity of the individual out of concern for her safety

      Although the sticking points don't seem to be a roadblock that will force a delay of the hearing, there is fierce negotiating going on between lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford ... and the Republican staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee.https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/25/politics/ford-kavanaugh-hearing-counsel-hired-republicans/index.html …

          McConnell: “We have hired a female assistant to go on staff and to ask these questions in a respectful and professional way. We want this hearing to be handled very professionally, not a political sideshow like you put on by the Democrats when they were questioning” Kavanaugh

          If it is not a trial, why would an attorney need to be hired by the GOP? Plenty of the senators on the Judiciary committee are likely law school graduates. DO YOUR FREAKING JOBS gentlemen.

          Because Republicans don’t want the all male republicans on the senate judicial committee appearing to attack Dr. Ford right before midterms. That’s what it’s all about.

          And because there is not one female GOP member of the judiciary committee and never has been in the history of the US senate.

          Dr. Ford is NOT going to testify Thursday. Democrats wont let her given her story has all but fallen apart. Democrats will accuse Republicans of "unfair" process to prevent hearing. All FOUR of her "witnesses" refute Ford story. Dems wont let optics of that see television.

          If they had the votes he would already be seated. It’s over. You don’t acknowledge it yet Remember. If they had the votes they would have voted.

          Or they can just walk over to the police station and file a criminal complaint. Whichever you prefer, Manu. Your call.

          It is outrageous that the Rs are not subpoenaing Mark Judge, have not asked Trump to order FBI background checks etc. Ford cannot back out now, but Rs have to be concerned that the very conditions for the hearing are going to make them look bad.

          Of course, they do not have the #courage to question any woman face to face in public forum, they will #hide behind outside counsel should those questions get too explicit. HOWEVER, it will be their questions that are asked #aidingandabetting #criminalIntent #KavaNOPE

          Hiring a female to do the questioning on the GOP's behalf so they don't look like they're angry white men being mean to a potential victim of sexual assault. Optics, optics, optics, and a dash of cowardice.
