An attorney for the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago has raised fresh concerns about the format for Thursday's highly anticipated hearing with her and the Supreme Court nominee.
The letter raising those issues once again could throw into doubt the scheduled hearing, which has been the subject of ever-changing negotiations since Christine Blasey Ford first went public.
In the message, sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley late Monday and obtained by Fox News, her attorney took issue with apparent plans for an outside counsel to ask questions -- as well as fiery comments made by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accusing Democrats of a "smear campaign."
“We are finding it difficult to reconcile your letter and [staff member Mike Davis'] note with the Majority Leader’s speech this afternoon on the Senate floor. As Dr. Blasey Ford has been clear since her experience was first made public, she came forward because she believes it is her civic duty to tell the truth about the sexual assault she experienced,” wrote Michael Bromwich, her attorney and a former Justice Department inspector general.
“You said in your letter that you intend to provide a ‘fair and credible’ process ... Yet earlier today, the Majority Leader dismissed Dr. Ford’s experience as a ‘smear campaign,’ claiming mistakenly that the witnesses’ statements to the Committee constitute ‘a complete lack of evidence,’ implying that there has been a thorough investigation,” the letter read.
Bromwich specifically raised concerns with an email from Davis that apparently suggested an outside counsel would question Ford.

Wonder of Kavanaugh will testify even if Ford does not?
That would be a big No.
-—Wonder of Kavanaugh will testify even if Ford does not?-—
He shouldn’t.
“What can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
What, more delays? Totally unexpected.
I sure hope not as she will then come out to ‘testify’ AFTER hearing him, which was one of her ‘requirements’. Talk about being castrated......the Republican ‘leadership’ is showing they are eunuchs.
They could always delay it.
No sworn accusation has been leveled against him.
So far there is nothing to respond or testify to.
She shows her face she’ll be out to mock forever
What another Letter ,waht’s going on here
Grassley’s fault.
Look for her attorneys to feed mixed signals on whether she’ll show up or not to try and delay this a couple more days.
With all these Letters I’m thinking there is no Christine Blasey Ford ,LOL
Make white men say sex words out-loud on the record.
I grow bored with Ford.
The b will bail.
We all know it.
He already testified under oath in a private session.
With all these Letters I’m thinking there is no Christine Blasey Ford ,LOL

Bull. I saw her just last week. She was doing a concert with Elvis at a bar in Fresno.
Grassley said Thursday or never.
Hearing should have been yesterday.
