Former Justice Department inspector general and federal prosecutor Michael Bromwich and his consulting firm have joined the legal team supporting Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford.

Bromwich tweeted Saturday that he was “honored to be joining” Blasey’s attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Blanks as she prepares testimony for the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both in high school.

Bromwich, who helped investigate the Iran-Contra scandal for the federal Office of Independent Counsel, is also representing former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. McCabe, a frequent target of President Donald Trump, was fired days before his retirement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his alleged lack of candor about a Clinton Foundation investigation and unauthorized disclosures to the media.

Melissa Schwartz, a strategic communications consultant and member of Bromwich’s firm, the Bromwich Group, will also be part of the team. The company provides legal expertise and crisis management. Schwartz is also McCabe’s spokeswoman....

But the accuser doesn’t want a “lawyer” questioning HER.

These are kids games, they’re playing - made up as they go along.

It’s probably her “attorney” that doesn’t want lawyers questioning her client, because a good lawyer would not only expose Ford, but Katz (an ambulance chasing activist) would be chewed up, and spat out.

What does a “victim” need a legal team for?

Why does a “victim” need such a large, high powered, high profile legal team? You know the answer, of course.

As a second rate associate professor at a third rate school I'm sure she doesn't make enough to pay the paralegals, much less the lawyers, so who is paying all these high-priced white shoe attorneys?

Bromwich once asked for Grassley to grant immunity to McCabe or else McCabe would plead the 5th

This is ALL a show for the Midterms. The bonus would be to actually destroy Kavanaugh and win the Midterms.

Melissa Schwartz...

I wonder if there is a relationship to Temple University’s Joseph M. Schwartz of the Democratic Socialists of America. There’s a Melissa in his family and he’s been active as all get-out in the rat resistance. Nancy Pelosi’s also a member of the DSA.
