“Hill initially asked to be kept anonymous when her accusations were presented to Thomas. But if her accusations were true, then Thomas would know that the accusations were launched by Hill, so why ask for anonymity?”
This was Teddy Kennedy’s doing if I recall correctly. He promised anonymity to Hill in exchange for her testimony. But when that turned out to be insufficient to stop Clarence Thomas, they threw her out into the limelight. They’ve taken care of her career ever since by maintaining her story through Media allies.
This entire tactical situation was repeated during the Kavanaugh hearings. The only difference were the players. DiFi was pushing the pieces around the chessboard this time.
Sooner or later the Senate has to kick somebody out for pulling crap like this. They didn’t punish Kennedy, so sooner or later the tactic gets repeated when the stakes are sufficiently high.
Look what they just did to Ben Carson.
There was one @sshole who was a key player in BOTH episodes: Ricki Seidman. She was the leftist hack who led the opposition to both nominees, and who (in my opinion) was the source of the media leaks of confidential materials in both cases.
