Conventional wisdom, as dictated by a preponderance of television pundits, says there were no new facts that came out during the testimony of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh this week. Many also said Rachel Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor that questioned Ford, didn't achieve much. I disagree.
There was at least one revelation that was shocking and the repercussions from it could be quite substantial. During Dr. Ford's testimony, she said she didn't know the Judiciary Committee had offered many, many times for her to testify in private and in California. It was shocking that she didn't know this because it was widely reported. References to it appeared in numerous news reports. But this is what Ford said during her testimony:
Mitchell: Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else that the committee had asked to interview you, and that they offered to come out to California to do so?
Ford Attorney: I’m going to object, Mr. Chairman, to any call for privileged conversation between counsel and Dr. Ford.
Mitchell: Could you validate that the offer was made, without saying a word? Is it possible for that question to be answered without violating any counsel relationships?
Ford: Can I say something to you? Do you mind if I say something to you directly? I just appreciate that you did offer that. I wasn’t clear on what the offer was. If you were going to come out to see me, I would have happily hosted you and been happy to speak with you out there. I just did not – it was not clear to me that that was the case.
In his column, Greg Jarrett provided the above excerpt from the hearing transcript and quoted Grassley's Sept. 19 email to Ford's counsel. “My staff would still welcome the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ford at any time, at any place convenient to her. Come to us, or we to you. I’m willing to have my staff travel to California, or anywhere else, to obtain her testimony.”
Dr. Ford said she wasn’t clear about what the offer was. Could it be possible that she really didn't know she didn't have to come to DC and testify in public? At least that would explain something that never made sense to me in the week leading up to the hearing. I wondered why, if she didn't want to be in the public eye, would she not accept the offer to testify privately. Grassley said over and over in interviews that they would be happy to take her testimony any time, any place.
And at this same time, anti-Kavanaugh Democrats were going on every cable news show saying Republicans were "bullying" her into testifying. That was the mantra. Democrat Senators knew Grassley had made the offer for her to testify privately in California, and the media who were all running the clips of him making the offer knew about it. Yet they allowed anti-Kavanaugh public officials and pundits to make the bullying charge over and over again unchallenged.
For Ford's lawyers to keep the committee's offer from her, would not only require them to decide to withhold it, but to also keep her away from all news, and from anyone who watched or read the news. If the lawyers did withhold that offer from Ford, they not only committed malpractice, but they viciously duped her into reliving the moment she said had ruined her life. And duped her into reliving it in the most public way possible. And they told her it was the Republicans' fault.
If that happened, that is evil. And it would be proof that the Democrats on the Committee, or at the very least her Democrat lawyers, got what they wanted all along – a televised #MeToo moment that would not only destroy a Supreme Court nomination, but serve as a club to bludgeon Republicans with in the midterms. And they didn't mind using a woman who claims to be a sexual assault victim to do it.
If Dr. Ford wasn't telling the truth about not knowing about the offer, then it was also a very important piece of testimony. As Senator Richard "Stolen Valor" Blumenthal pontificated during the hearing, "False in one thing, false in everything."
Apparently she was in Delaware all the time and not in California. Another of her legion of lies.
Here is a body language expert breaking down ford’s actions/gestures etc- A lot of folks on FR felt that there was ‘somethign off’ about ford- her mousy demeanor, mousey voice, snivelling/chokig up etc- well turns out that they were right, there was somethign off- she was tryign to manipulate the room- here’s a link to the video, but it shoudl have it’s own thread-

[[She lied she played dumb it’s obvious.]]
see my link above- it absolutely was an obvious manipulation on her part-
It was all over the news. If her lawyers and handlers didn’t communicate it, she could have asked almost anyone who does not have their head buried in the sand.
Wife says she had to have been paid a substantial sum of money to do this. Now, she said, her picture and name are everywhere. She knows what she did and was paid a large sum of money to do it. The ultimate political whore of history.
“Apparently, she was in Delaware all the time and not in California. Another of her legion of lies.”
Leftist know they are immune from Perjury, so, its lie lies lie.
Kankles Ballsy Fraud
YEs, she said she had been in Delaware all this time, not California, right?
I knew from the moment she came in and started talking that she was donning the affectation of Honey-boo-boo helpless cute naive little girl - a total CON-JOB. A good thing to watch is the Body Language Ghost ripping apart the Con Job. ALL Freepers here will recognize the Tell at the 5:25 mark of her true defiant nature as similar to Obama and Lois Lerner with similar smug look.

Sorry - you beat me to it. But go to 5:25 mark. BOOM - true face Poker Tell of her 1000% knowing this scheme and playing her part.
Besides the obvious lies and body language queues, the bigger issue that isn’t getting nearly enough air time (at least I haven’t seen it brought up much) is the issue of “Repressed Memories” and her “therapy” sessions. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE that has solid research showing how someone can be manipulated and just WRONG when using their memory. There is a great TEDx talk from an expert in that field that is worth looking up.

We need to really PUSH HER HARD and expose this for what it really is....
Lindsay Graham has promised to do just that
I douby if any attorney would compromise their license by withholding information
from a client.
Little miss sweet voice lied. PROSECUTE HER!
Well, if she was in Delaware, that explains why she couldn’t fly to Washington. As far as I know there are no commercial airports in Delaware.
Waste of time. Lawyers cover for one another>
When it was discovered that Elizabeth Warren had been practicing law for years in Massachusetts without a license, the Mass Bar Association supported her.
There the Salisbury Regional Airport in Salisbury, Maryland, a commercial airport not far from the southern Delaware border and about 46 miles from Rehoboth Beach, where presumably she was staying with her parents. There is also a small private airport, the Eaglel-Hudson Airport near Milton, which is only bout 15 miles from Rehoboth. Plus there’s another small airport, the Laurel Airport-N06 in Laurel, Delaware, which is about 33 miles from Rehoboth.
I’d bet she never said that. Her lawyer made up the lie.
When the attorney objected he gave up the game. Everyone on the planet except Ford was aware of the offer. It was a public offer. His attorney tried to keep her from committing perjury by denying she knew about it and was hoping that the objection would force the topic off the table. Unfortunately for Ford she decided to falsely claim that she didn’t know about it.
The fact is that everybody knew it, including her. The fear of flying excuse was also a blatant lie. She’s flown more in the last year than most people have flown in their lifetime.
Yep - she’s a total Dem patsy - Feinstein et.al are using her - no care in the world for the consequences she’ll face
Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few Useful Idiots, er, “eggs”.
