Whatever, Gay Mitchell
You are the only one who doesn’t think she struck the right balance for public consumption
Mitchell may be a prosecutor but it clearly appears she was commissioned in this instance to simply ask questions, not to cross-exam or defend K (that became apparent when she added an "ok" after most of Ford's responses). She performed her role, and while she may have been too cautious it is just too close to call.
She finished her obligation by informing R members that as a prosecutor, based on Ford's allegations she would not have had a basis for justifying a search warrant, nor would she be able to bring an action against the accused. I.e., she found the complaint not credible.
Right. I like all these random people think they are more of an expert than a real expert.
I thought she did great, especially the last five minutes.
“You are the only one who doesn’t think she struck the right balance for public consumption”
Really? She acted like a total idiot. Asked nothing worthwhile. Totally missed the point - asking the supposed victim about any details that she had not provided, or why there were discrepancies. A waste of air, which is why the GOP dumped her when Kavanaugh gave them a breath of courage.
OTOH she sure got a gleam in her eye when it was time to question BK. An entire change in her tone and decidedly UNfriendly.
Apparently Graham and Cornyn noticed it too because they sent her packing and took back the questioning duties.
An attorney does not have to be hostile to get some good stuff out a witness if they are competent. IMO Alan Dershowitz was right, we needed a seasoned defense attorney expert in cross-examination.
