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.

If Ford is charged with perjury and katz suborning perjury there’s no attorney client privilege. All that goes away. Some fun emails I’m sure.

If they are really her lawyers they should shut up and defend her. She’ appears to be in real legal trouble.

Bromwich knows Ford is a coached liar. “Profile in Cowardice”! Wow. He must have stayed up all night and thought he had a stroke of brilliance when he came up with that “oh-so-clever” attack.

That’s OK, Michael Bromwich. We’ll still pray for you.

Ford's legal vermin are skeert !

Not just for their 'case', but personally as well.
With all this coming out about Ford's verified perjuries of which they simply MUST have at least known and likely condoned.

Sucks to be them right now.

This woman is an obviously mentally disturbed person. Why then did she go into psychology, of all things? I firmly believe it’s a case of “Physician, heal thyself.” I believe that a lot of people who go into psych fields are themselves affected by mental health issues and seek to delve further into the subject. She is no exception. As a matter of fact, it’s a wonder to me that she even got married at all. Can you imagine what it must be like to be her husband? He must be a real masochist.

A skank who thought she could take down a SCOTUS justice from behind anonymity? A profile in courage, I suppose?

Someone who has her social media scrubbed? A profile in courage?

Nope this is what scalawags always do — accuse the other of their own flaws.
