RMitchell is prosecutor. Isn't she supposed to try to break down perp, NOT victim?

A Grassley quote made it seem like they want her to destroy DrFord, go easy on Kav.

They want her to defend Kav, NOT do job she's done for 20 plus yrs.

Not the old white guys.

I'm hoping that she'll be fair and not put on a good show for tRump to score a job.

It's a job interview. Kavanaugh wants the job; somebody else says he did something very bad and shouldn't get the job. If you want a job it's up to you to prove you should have it; the burden of proof is not on the person who says you've got a disqualifying skeleton in your closet.

is to question the veracity of the accuser.

especially of underage rape victims.

especially with the rapist being a "pillar of the community"

Her claim is that those victims can't specify a time or maybe it was mistaken identity.

She is a piece of GOP shit.

and if you can't remember the dare... what make you so sure that it was Brett Kavanaugh on top of you?"
"can you describe the clothing that Brett and his friend were wearing?"
Why didn't the other party goers hear you scream as you were being attacked?"
"Why did you wait in the bathroom until the boys you claimed tried to rape you left the party?"
"Were you wearing a bikini swim suit? Can you describe it for us?"
