Former prosecutor reveals why GOP senators booted Rachel Mitchell -- Kavanaugh was cracking

[UCmeNdc]

Rocah began by saying that, as a fellow prosecutor, she was “embarrassed” by Rachel Mitchell, ostensibly an advocate for sexual assault victims at her office in Phoenix, being willing to “partake in this sham.”

Mitchell was not able to shake Blasey Ford, Rocah said.

“Even with Ms. Mitchell trying to cross examine her, trying to poke holes in her, trying to show inconsistencies—nothing, zero, they poked no holes that mattered,” she said. “Her story came out clear.”

Things went awry, Rocah said, when Mitchell did “the same thing” to Kavanaugh.

“She was actually asking him fact-based questions and he was evasive and he couldn’t answer them and they did not want that to happen,” she said. “And that is why she got fired on the spot.”

“That was no accident,” Rocah said. “They were having none of that, because he was not doing well with that. Once you got into facts with him, once that started, he was not doing well with that so it had to get more political.”

1. Mitchell was going to ask Kavirginaugh on a map where "Timmy's" house was located!!

That would have revealed the scene of the crime exactly as Dr. Ford described it. She had the map ready.

They could not let that happen!!

5. It really was spectacle

I thought she'd be a party hack. Kudos to her professionalism for doing her job. No hired gun.

13. My understanding is that her office has a long history of non-prosecution

of sexual crimes and a conviction rate well below norms.

4. But he did so well with "how many beers is too many".......

6. Yup,

Just like when someone at work would ask me if we should stop for 1 after work? That really meant cold supper.

7. I missed seeing that scene on live TV.

Love to find a re-play somewhere.

9. Repubs cut off Mitchell also when Ford was willing to discuss the previous parties in more detail

because Ford explained she knew Brett from an introduction at the Columbia Country club from one of the other guys and that Ford had attended at least 5 previous parties where Brett was in attendance and that at all the previous parties he had not done anything innappropriate to her so Grassley interrupted as Ford's answers helped her credibility as far as being sure of Brett's identity and not just smearing him in general but being blindsided at the assault party and then she never again socialized or spoke to him .

Talked about beer way too long.

15. With Flake being hailed by the Press as

One who worked with the other side to save the Senate maybe a few others will decide they need to stand up,too.

Friday was our latest,” At long last,Sir have you no shame?” Moment!

Graham will go down in shame along with Grassley, Hatch and that putrid John,”no relation,”Kennedy! His grandstanding Religious moment was sickening.

CNN calls him that.
