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

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.

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#KavaNOPEThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

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.

Dr. Ford should just do an interview with the media if she can’t get fair treatment in the hearing.
