Ford's attorney fires back at Trump: 'He is a profile in cowardice'
The Hill ^ | 10/02/18 | JOHN BOWDEN

An attorney representing Christine Blasey Ford fired back at President Trump on Tuesday after the president mocked Ford's testimony concerning her allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Michael Bromwich, who sat beside Ford and her other attorney at last Thursday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, called the president a "profile in cowardice" Tuesday night after Trump took aim at Ford during a rally in Mississippi.

"A vicious, vile and soulless attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Is it any wonder that she was terrified to come forward, and that other sexual assault survivors are as well?" Bromwich asked Tuesday.

"She is a remarkable profile in courage. He is a profile in cowardice," the attorney added.

Bromwich's comments were in response to Trump's impression of his client at the rally, during which the president appeared to mock Ford's memory loss surrounding the alleged sexual assault.

"What neighborhood was it in?" Trump said to a cheering crowd Tuesday, doing a mocking impression of Ford at the hearing. "I don't know. Where's the house?' I don't know. Upstairs, downstairs, where was it?' I don't know, but I had one beer. That's the only thing I remember."

At the same rally, Trump cast doubt on another woman who has accused Kavanaugh of misconduct, Julie Swetnick, whose appearance on NBC News earlier Tuesday raised new questions about her allegations.

"Did you see that interview?" Trump said of Swetnick at the rally. "This woman had no clue what was going on. No clue. Yet she made the most horrible charges against a...great father, great husband."

Kavanaugh has forcefully denied the allegations he faces, and is set for a vote on his nomination to the Supreme Court in the full Senate following the Judiciary panel's vote to advance the nomination among party lines on Friday.

The dems are so desperate, no-one would be surprised if they killed her to shut her up. Can U imagine if she’s arrested for perjury & the coward she is, she would turn on the rest of the conspirators in the blink of an eye...

Imagine the damage she could do.

A Vince Foster suicide, driven by all the mean people who have attacked her, even the President. Imagine the impact it would have, BK doesn’t get appointed & people going to the polls in November will have been blasted 24/7 by the MSM.. these terrible republicans drove this poor women to take her life.

Actually the more I think about it, the more likely they do kill her

She is a remarkable profile in courage.

I agree. It takes a lot of courage to lie under oath.

Mrs. Ford was nothing more than a tool to be used by bigger fish. Obviously, she was played by her “benefactors” and ended up as a lamb to the slaughter. She should of known better....in DC YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS!!!

She (and others) are now exposed to a myriad of pitfalls from perjury to lawsuits.

Her GoFundMe account was nothing more than a BRIBE.

I hope her account gets a lot of donations...those legal bills/settlements are gonna be a bitch. Get ready for the Cindy Sheehan treatment.

What an ass. Trump was merely pointing out that she has more holes in her story than swiss cheese, she can’t remember this, she can’t remember that. I can remember a car acciident I was in with my father way back in 1974 August 21st 1:20 pm Wednesday, Eleanor Rigby was playing on the car radio, I remember the time because we had to meet my mother at 130 and this truck was tailgating us and we went around a turn and this car in front was stopped short and we slammed into the car and the truck slammed into us. I was 12 at the time and can remember everything and she can barely remember situations around a supposed attempted rape? This woman it utterly and completely full of schit!

Bromwich, let us not forget, is also Andrew McCabe’s lawyer. What more need be said?

Neither Kavanaugh nor Graham attacked Ford’s sincerity or character. Rather, they attacked the obvious, overplayed, and fraudulent modus operandi of the corrupt Democrat senate leadership.

If this were the first time they might have pulled this scam, perhaps one might understand Katz’s naivete. This is more like the 10th time they have pulled this crap, but who’s counting? The Democrats have long known that in the way out wacky world of cut throat politics, an indictment, or even just an accusation, no matter how scurrilous, is as good as a conviction.

They don’t have to prove anything, just sling the filth, and watch ‘em run! Predictably, Rinos stampede, like Flake and others establishment Repubs, and the lingering dust obscures any truth one might discover. The “seriousness of the charge” was all that was needed, it is all that the media pays attention to. Facts be damned, they don’t fit the narrative anyway.

One could have set your watch by the timing of Feinstein’s leak of Ford’s confidential and repeatedly contradicted letter. I suggest that, since we have now begun the fall investigation season, we uncover the perjury and malfeasance that pervades Ford’s counsel’s statements, actions and evasions, along with her own. Felony perjury would look good on their respective resumes, no? Well earned payback for the life and lively hood destroying smear job they have done on Judge Kavanaugh.

From my experience most of the people who go into psychology do so because of how screwed up they are.

Subpoena the material Lee slipped to Bromwich. It might be an illegal act of “witness interference”.

Great of him to zero on on that. Because that’s a classic teenage lie when you get caught. Everyone else was wasted but I just had one. Right up there with that was the first time I smoked pot and I didn’t even like it. Lol. ( not that I have any experience, mind you)

Such obvious lies. So dumb that we’re still dealing with this whole farce.

The attorney should explain where the docs are that the Senate requested from Dr. Ford. The attorney should be doing some prep for bar complaint as well. No wonder the attorney quit his job before committing himself to this lying attack on Judge Kavanaugh. Did he get enough pay or notoriety to commit professional suicide?
