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 Leaders 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. Fords 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.

Knowing Grassley, hes afraid of his own shadow. I wouldnt put it past him.
Yeah, really.
And if Ms. Godot demands more time?
A catfish? Ive had the theory since the weekend when it became apparent things about that woman werent adding up.
Esta mierda otra vez? This loca ching*** doesn’t intend to appear at any hearing-she is just letting her alligator mouth overload her hummingbird ass again-she isn’t even capable of deciding what to have for breakfast...
If Ford doesn’t show up at the scheduled time they should immediately begin the vote. The GOP needs to play like an adult and hold the dems to their word. The dems had their chance and they blew it.
A Nigerian prince is more honest than Ford.
His demand is absolute clear: empty your pockets!
He should not. If he does, then Ford will suddenly have a change of heart and testify, thus getting her way for him testifying first.

According to the FOX News blurb I just saw, the Judiciary Committee vote is now on for Friday morning.
The Rats have done nothing but stall. Its getting old.
A vote Friday morning? Please, God!
“outside counsel”
Not one Democratic federal politician has complained about the use of outside counsel Robert Mueller.
It got old last Friday.
It got old last Friday.
.
Why would Kavanaugh testify?
The whole thing is to get Blowsie to perjur herself under oath so she can be proscuted.
Thats why she will never show up.
Its not like she could actually testify to the facts or have witnesses appear who can corroborate her story.
Enough with the farce.
If she’s driving she needs to be east of Columbus to arrive on time.
If she don’t show go on without her!
...”Bromwich specifically raised concerns with an email from Davis that apparently suggested an outside counsel would question Ford.”...
America wants an outside counsel to question Ford to avoid incompetence and show boating from the Senate. This is a serious business and not material for a Kangaroo Court. My understanding that the outside counsel will be an expert lawyer in these kinds of cases which is absolutely necessary in this case.
From a reliable source Journalist Posobiec the rules or demands of engagement have been delivered to Grassley ..he will have to agree to the terms by Thursday. So 100% the lying drunkard witch will BE THERE!! She has been perfectly coached since July!! She will be a formidable foe!! My prayer will be that she stumbles during the questioning! We need to pray for kavanuagh! The evil is great with that witch!!
