When questioned about her fear of flying, she told the committee, “I was hoping that they would come to me, but then I realized that was an unrealistic request.”
Later, prosecutor Rachel Mitchell asked Ford, “Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else, that the committee had asked to interview you and that — that they offered to come out to California to do so?”
After a bit of kerfuffle over whether or not this represented a privileged conversation between Ford and her lawyers, the accuser seemed to indicate that the offer wasn’t explained in detail to her.
“I just appreciate that you did offer that. I wasn’t clear on what the offer was,” Ford said. “If you were going to come out to see me, I would have happily hosted you and had you — had been happy to speak with you out there. I just did not — it wasn’t clear to me that that was the case.”
This wasn’t a terribly complicated offer; the Senate Judiciary Committee would have interviewed her in California. How difficult was this for a gaggle of people who have done postgraduate work in law to elucidate to their client?
It’s pretty obvious that either Ford or her lawyers are lying about this. At least in this case, I believe Ford. She surrounded herself with Democratic operatives who realized it was to the advantage of the left to have this testimony aired in the open. If they didn’t make this clear to their client, however, they violated their professional obligations — and they need to face the consequences for it.
In the statement, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said this wouldn’t be the end of their Kavanaugh-related inquiries, either.
“We are concerned that ethics rules were violated by Dr. Ford’s attorneys during the Kavanaugh confirmation and took action to get accountability,” Fitton said.
“We already filed a Senate ethics complaint against Sen. Cory Booker over his admitted rule breaking and are considering additional steps to address the misconduct committed by Justice Kavanaugh’s opponents.”
Hard to tell what really happened because Ford is so full of it...
Judicial Watch: still doing the heavy lifting required to drain the swamp...
How does Judicial Watch have standing to file such a suit?
Interesting how the only ones caring about Ford now are Republicans.
I doubt Judicial Watch has standing to file a complaint insofar as they were not harmed. In any case, I’m very happy that the American public got to witness the whole thing live.
Had the Judiciary committee gone to her the true nature of the events would have been clouded. We should rejoice in their incompetence.
I don’t put a whole lot of stock in just bashing her lawyers. I think the whole thing was a set-up. Her father and grandfather held prominent positions in the CIA. Her best friend worked for the FBI. It’s got Deep State shenanigans written all over it.
Side issue.
How did 1,000 articles use the same image of Ford with big sunglasses, smiling, young,decades ago, when she is a shriveled up hag mummy as above?
That should sink any vestige of respect for the media.
Like that dead teen thug who was made to look like a 10 year old choir boy on his way to feed an orphan by spending his last lawn cutting money. Actually was a smirking little violent urban drug using teen thug. Trayvon.
i think the nasty frunt was lying and now, it's either perjury, or the lawyers get sanctioned... doesn't get much better than this
Sorry Judicial Watch you are right but will go nowhere.
They were acting as agents of DiFi/Schumer/Spartacus/and the rest of the Dems instead of as her attorneys...when lawyers do this to their clients, they should be summarily shot.
