She never came to a point about the maps. Here’s a map. Flip. Here’s a map. Flip. Here’s a map. Interruption. What?!?
Yep. The one person who defended Kavanaugh best was Kavanaugh himself in his opening statement.
Good observation. I think it backs up my opinion about her goal.
The maps were an opportunity for Ford to add some details to explain what she meant when she described the scene of the crime as being "near" something else. You'll note that Ford added NOTHING.
Similarly, the interrogator led Ford through her experience allowing her to add details. For example, Ford described that, as she entered the home, she saw that Brett and Mark were inebriated. In addition she described the room as being simply furnished, or some such thing. She added NOTHING to the short, one page description that she has stuck to in the past.
Since Ford concluded that Brett and Mark were inebriated, she could have described whether they were sitting or standing when she entered the home. How were they dressed? Were they holding drinks? Smoking? Talking? Singing? Snoring?
Ford added NOTHING. That is because there was nothing to add. The written description was invented without any supporting details. Ford couldn't take the risk of elaborating on anything. She's lying.
