An Important Revelation from Dr. Ford's Testimony

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."

The repubs should demand all her social media accounts, the ones she scrubbed, be released. Nothing is ever erased from the internet. It’s out there.

she also said something about she was trying to avoid flying. Which contradicted her entire, I didn’t know, speel.

Does anyone know of a website that has the entire Mitchell-Ford transcript ? I’ve seen bits and pieces in various articles but nothing complete.

[blueplum]

thanks for that. I just saw something I couldn’t place before. Why is she wearing glasses, but looks at Mitchell and scans the committee members over her glasses? Is she far-sighted or near-sighted? If they are reading glasses, why are they so large (and smudged)? If they are reading glasses, looking at distance through them is hiding, a disguise. Just as keeping them on her head and then sitting back in her seat is crowning herself.

AMEN

Not since The HILDEBEAST gave her valley girl testimony have we been so insulted.

As Senator Richard "Stolen Valor" Blumenthal pontificated during the hearing, "False in one thing, false in everything."...that bridge was crossed when we found out through Ms. Mitchell's questioning that Ford did not, as previously paraded, have anything close to a fear of flying - since I found that out I haven't believed a word she said.....

[N-R-T]

What struck me false was her claim that she had to have another door built into her home because of her fear that the monster who traumatized her so many years ago may return to “get her”. This from a woman supposedly qualified to teach psychology? Really? Her yearbooks plainly show sluts ruled in her school at that time without shame nor remorse.

Senator Hatch Sends Letter to FBI Director About ‘Deeply Troubling’ Behavior from Ford’s Attorneys
WJ ^ | 2018-10-01 21:00 | Jack Davis Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, who has accused Democrats of doing everything they can imagine to stall Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s elevation to the Supreme Court, has sent the FBI a letter demanding to know if the bureau encounters more stall tactics during its upcoming probe of the allegations against Kavanaugh. (Excerpt) Read more at westernjournal.com …

======================================

ITEM----ABA President Robert Carlson wrote a letter to Judiciary WRT Kavanaugh.......it was his own opinion, but he made it look like it was from the official ABA. SURPRISE: Some say Carlson has connections to the Clintons.

WaPo fake news made it less clear......quoting the terminally cute Sen Klobuchar who said the letter was "from the ABA." The full ABA issued a statement next day, Kav still has the highest rating, it is not lowered.

=========================================

ITEM----THIS IS A BIGGIE: lawyers Katz and Bromovich who coached Ford at the hearing
will face an investigation by the Washington, DC Bar for allegedly misinforming their client.

REALITY CHECK---The express wishes of Judiciary Committee Republicans was that Judiciary staffers
would travel to California to speak with Ford about her alleged assault. As an alternative
the Committee would interview her in private in DC if she preferred.

GoFundMe accounts set up in Ford's name have now already raised more than $700,000 and will certainly top $1 million and much more before this coming week is out. Now, these funds were ostensibly set up to pay for Ms. Ford’s legal costs, but her own lawyers testified under penalty of perjury to the Senate Judiciary Committee that they were in fact working “pro bono” for Ms. Ford, so this money is actually most likely going right into someone's pocket.

Two tax-exempt GoFundMe accounts set up in Ford's name have now raised more than $700,000 and could will top $1M and more before they're done.

<><> these funds were collected by misrepresenting the cause----telling donors they were to pay for Ms. Ford’s legal costs,

<><> but Ford's two lawyers testified to Judiciary that they were working “pro bono” for Ms. Ford.

So where is the money (collected under false pretenses) going? Into Ford's pocket.

<><> Is a bribe the MO Democrats used to get her before the cameras despite her wishes to remain anonymous?
