There’s a notion in politics that the process is the punishment. Such as the Russia Russia Russia probe, for which there has been zero evidence of actual collusion, just unrelated process crimes. In this case, Kavanaugh was accused of being mean 36 years ago or so, since Dr. Ford is rather short on details, the Democrats immediately jump in….well, immediately being when Diane Feinstein mentions the letter at a conveniently political time almost two months after receiving it….with “we believe her!!!” and the compliant media followed right along with the allegations, attempting to slur Kavanaugh’s name. Kavanaugh himself said he wants the process to be fair, rather than guilt by accusation (Democrats should remember the old saying about what comes around goes around)
Ford’s lawyer: Hearing doesn’t appear to be designed for ‘fair’, ‘respectful’ treatment
A lawyer for Christina Blasey Ford—the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault—raised concerns on Monday about the setup for a public hearing where Ford will testify later this week.
Michael R. Bromwich, a lawyer for Ford, said in a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, that the plan for Thursday’s public hearing “does not appear designed to provide Dr. Blasey Ford with fair and respectful treatment.”
The letter casts some doubt on the deal Ford’s team made with Senate Judiciary leaders to appear at a hearing on Thursday.
Bromwich in the letter pointed to the hiring of “an unnamed ‘experienced sex crimes prosecutor,'” warning it could help turn the Judiciary Committee hearing into a “circus.”
“[It] is contrary to the Majority’s repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee’s members to fulfill their constitutional obligations. It is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a “circus,†as well as Dr. Blasey Ford’s repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning,” Bromwich wrote.
“This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate. Neither Dr. Blasey Ford nor Judge Kavanaugh is on trial. The goal should be to develop the relevant facts, not try a case,” he continued.
This is a cute reasoning that is a stage setter for her pulling out of testifying on Thursday, which would be on the record. At this point, she is the only one who hasn’t given a sworn statement, either written or oral. The burden of evidence lies with Dr. Ford.

Margot Cleveland tweeted “Who had “Ford will never testify” in the pool?”

And from Sunday
I’m going to make a prediction: come Wednesday, her lawyer will release a “statement from Dr. Fordâ€, which will say something to the effect of “Dr. Ford is a victim, and has been doubly victimized through this rushed process. She feels that she will not be treated fairly and will not be able to obtain justice, so, knowing that the whole process is tainted, she will not testify, and she will drop the matter a second time, leaving Republicans to deal with their shameâ€, at which point all sorts of Democrats will demagogue and wear Handmaid costumes. Which will be interesting for ones like Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer. That’s the way these kinds of things go. Ford cannot prove her accusation, she has no evidence, none of the people at the reported party back her, so, now it’s time to give it up in a way that still smears Kavanaugh.
I have 5:23pm in the poll as to the specific time we hear she’s pulling out. Because the process is the punishment. Democrats will claim that all rulings by Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court will be tainted. Because this is the way they operate.
The GOP needs to vote on Kavanaugh after hearing this liar and the other liar. Its too funny how Kavanaugh revealed he has proof he was out of town on vacation with his parents this summer when this incident happened. So once the left found this out suddenly another PERP appears from college.
IF the left succeeds in this tactic then there will never be another supreme court justice put on the bench as long as it is a conservative. Every nominee will be a sexual predator. The Republicans did not let this happen to a BLACK MAN….Clarence Thomas so the left shelved that concept until 2018..
They need to vote on Kavanaugh and let the two RINO’s vote him down. So that the Right will be chomping at the bit to get to the polling booth in November. I want a vote on Kavanaugh for every man in America. Yes I want justice for women. I want them protected and treated fairly and equally of course. But these are not credible allegations and he has had a background check on him twice along with 7 FBI investigations. and ZIP. Now this.
This is not a land where you are guilty until proven innocent. This is a land in which the opposite rings true. It is incumbent to prove these allegations but the left SAT on this information for 7 weeks and then LEAKED the info to the press AFTER FORD said please keep this confidential.
Did the left go OMG another victim of sexual assault and run to her aid? NO. They sat on her allegation and then leaked it the last few days before a vote was to be held because it was quite clear Kavanaugh would be voted to the supreme court.
COREY BOOKER The senator who was grandstanding for 2020 admitted to and even WROTE AN ARTICLE AND PUBLISHED IT IN A NEWSPAPER to doing this exact same thing. The press is silent. The Left is silent. Keith Ellison abused his wife. The left is trying to smear her and shame her into silence.
AMERICA the LEFT does not give a shit about women. It only wants your vote. How much more evidence do you need that the left has become a party of violence, willing to destroy a good man’s life, family and career because they don’t want him to have a job?
She will wait until Thursday. The point of this exercise is delay. Every day counts.
Let her. Once the committee vote is taken, McConnell can rearrange the Senate schedule for a vote.
Isn’t a sex crimes prosecutor and expert on how to treat the victim with dignity and respect, and how to destroy the alleged perpetrator’s story? She is claiming to be the victim and that Kavanaugh is the perpetrator. So the Senate is bringing in a subject-matter expert to help them treat her well. She should be happy.
In the objective world.
In the leftist world, she is the resistance and Kavanaugh is the target of their attack. They cannot admit this, so they use upside-down logic to carry on their charade. They know that an expert could expose their purpose.
I think we all knew she’d bail the second her past came out and the “witnesses” all said they weren’t there, never heard of it.
it is not about the sex crimes prosecutor it is about fishing for more victims look at it they were already to go (supposedly).Than the democrats Ace in the hole the Ramirez woman is not a credible victim and the New York times is the one that proved it. So they have to go Victim hunting again. Enough is enough Hold the vote tomorrow. Failing that void the agreement with Ford impose Senate conditions are as follows we the committee will decide who questions the witnesses not the victim. the victim cannot be a fair arbiter to choose an impartial questioner. The supposed victim goes first and she will have NO legal representation present. If she fails to appear on Thursday the vote will be held instead. There will be no disruption in the committee room because there will be Nobody allowed in but the Supposed victim Judge Kavanaugh Kavanaugh’s Attorney the Senate and the Female prosecutor to ask the questions There will be a pool TV crew to record the proceedings
