Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers have asked senators to limit the press who will be allowed in the room to cover Thursday’s hearing with her and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and sought to dictate at least some of the outlets.
Coverage is one of a number of issues Ms. Blasey Ford’s lawyers are negotiating with Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Michael Bromwich said in emails sent Tuesday afternoon that he was requesting access for three “robocams,” three specific wire services, photographers from the Associated Press, Reuters and one unspecified service, and a pool reporter for newspapers and magazines. In a follow-up email he specified that the robocams should be operated by “the CSPAN TV pool,” and said he also wanted space for a radio reporter.
Those emails were among several seen by The Washington Times detailing the tense negotiations between Ms. Blasey Ford’s team and committee staff.
While committees sometimes limit press based on space at hearings, and some witnesses have arranged to have their identities shielded, longtime Capitol Hill watchers struggled to think of precedent for a witness dictating terms of press coverage.
In Ms. Blasey Ford’s case she has received threats since she went public with her story, and her team has insisted the committee guarantee her safety as she testifies, as well as limited access to the hearing.

Yes; she’ll show up. They’ve bought enough time for her to cram for this exam, get a makeover, and take some acting lessons.
All we can to is email senators and pray, pray, pray.
“she would be under oath and penalty of perjury.”
Will she for sure be put under oath?
Rumor has been around that Kavanaugh’s mother presided over a foreclosure case in which Ford’s parents lost their home. That this is a grudge from that.
Ford is part of the really Loonie Left. They are a large force of evil in the world. For them, there are no values, only the agenda.
Totalitarianism in all forms is evil.
I don’t think it will. If she does not show. There were be a vote the next day in committee.
I do not doubt she has a mental problem. Even past what most of the ComDems suffer from.
And with no evidence or support from people who were at the incident, this is going nowhere from here.
And President Trump is angry. I would not like to be in her situation.
Agree.
Yes. I’ve not read the article but heard about that.
That is another connection of Ford to evil.
Driving around? Like OJ? smile
“I do not doubt she has a mental problem.”
Of course. Libs all are nuts, but the truly mentally impaired are much easier for the Rats to manipulate and control. Cindy Sheehan was a similar tool to achieve their goals.
Agreed. She wanted to be anonymous, but Feinstein or one of her flying monkeys sold her out.
I don’t know a source of the rules of the committee concerning the hearing. There have been so many demands by Ford’s lawyers, I will be surprised if she even testifies.
I heard CPL’s questions on the air (talk radio). He’s divisive to say the least. Hopefully it will backfire.
Agreed
I’d like to see no gallery. It is going to be stuffed with PINK and make an even greater mockery of this.
Ridiculous. They want to control commentary and narrative. It’s simple, either open to press or closed to press. I thought we were all about the free press here lately
Grassley needs to tell them to “Shove It”.
Want to see her scrubbed FB page,

*******************************
From her lamentable school days:
“And there were always parties to celebrate any occasion. Although these parties are no doubt unforgettable, they are only a memory lapse for most, since loss of consciousness is often an integral part of the party scene.”
Ford has two teenage sons. She has a husband, father, and 2 bros. She better pray no one ever makes false accusations against them.
