      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

          What are you paid to do @gop? This falls under your responsibility to the American people. If you dont feel that you are the right people for the task, perhaps you arent the right people for the SENATE

          why did they need to hire a female assistant? Are the GOP members not capable of being respectful and professional?

          The most brutal political sideshow was Republicans questioning Merrick Garland in his hearings. So much of a sideshow that it didn’t even happen.

          Of the Republicans on the committee: 7 law degrees, 2 SCOTUS clerks, a 9th circuit clerk, an Air Force judge advocate, a state Atty Gen, an adjunct law professor, and a former assoc DAG at DOJ. Yet none could handle this professionally? Strange.

          “A Democratic staffer noted that there are rules on bringing in outside counsel. A person at a law firm would have to quit his or her job to do the questioning ― the individual could not take a leave of absence and could not do it pro bono”. She may not be able to ask questions

          Side show because the Democrats asked questions? @SenMajLdr has already said that Kavavnaugh Will be Confirmed! Before Dr Ford has even testified! Now that there are 3 Women with Accusations they refuse to hear from these other women n/c Hatch *Knows* it’s false! B4 listening!
