Kavanaugh accuser asks Senate to limit press access for hearing
The Washington Times ^ | September 25, 2018 (Tuesday) | Stephen Dinan and Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 09/25/2018 7:06:48 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

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.

OK. Limit press access to Lauren Southern, Paul Joseph Watson, and Steven Crowder.

Is there precedent for her demands?

If not, she gets the same treatment as everyone before her.

Of course she's going to testify.

This is right out of the Clinton Playbook.

Remember the Bill Clinton "purple rage" moment?

Remember the "Hillary Clinton isn't going to even be able to remain upright in the debates" assumption?

EVERYONE was fooled.

Same exact play this time.

"She isn't going to even show up!" is the freaking CONSENSUS on our side.

Geez, you people are easy.

She's going to show, and she's going be polished and professional and impressive as all get-out in her lies.

for a woman who just had to tell her story about such an bad thing this guy supposedly did to her, she is sure using every excuse and reason under the sun to not talk.

If it was so urgent/important who cares where, when, how many camers, prepping, etc etc, she would have gone first chance and talk to whomever she could, but when it’s all lies, you care more about the details and hows it gonna look etc like the beat up old Ford is doing.

Here's a look into the minds of those who are subverting the Supreme Court and engaged in the coup attempt through a spoiled judicial.

The difference between this lying tramp and the Clintons, she would be under oath and penalty of perjury. She can testify to what can be proved which is a big nothing or lie under oath. The only way she shows is saying nothing but crying trying to garner sympathy.

That’s my bet also. She is being coached as we speak. She will play well to the MSM and the wobbly RINOs will cave.

"...longtime Capitol Hill watchers struggled to think of precedent for a witness dictating terms of press coverage."

It's an effort for a Soviet style production to suit those attempting to complete the takeover.

If she actually testifies, she will be making sworn testimony.

She will not do that.

Did you know that Anita Hill's testimony contradicted what she told the FBI?

NOTHING happened to her.

"All media or no media, she doesn’t get to pick and choose."

It appears that congressional male feminists in the Committee are allowing her lawyers to specify everything about the production. Remember that those men have been licking around on women like Ford all of their lives to get where they are today.

Word has been that she was at her father’s home, on the East Coast near DC. Not in CA.

This is a total scam.
