I believe Kavanaugh made a huge tactical error by not viewing Dr. Ford's testimony in real time.

[Fred Sanders]

I believe he counted on the "female assistant" hired by the majority would be a Jennine Pierino Fox-type attack dog and soften up the battlefield for him. After all his Fox only softball interviews was just the opening act.

Then he would triumphantly enter the arena all guns blazing and continue the take down of the
Liar With No Corroboration...but he did not read the temperature of the room very well, did he?

And that temperature was the red hot degree of sympathy and belief of and for Dr. Ford whose testimonial under oath was not believed by exactly the same number of braindead viewers who think Fox is real news...Trump actually got that estimate of 25% right. What a big big brain!

It may be Brett was fed information about Ford during the break and to cool it...but I believe this scorched earth strategy was the hastily agreed upon strategy all along, in keeping with the strategy of converting a trial of character into a criminal trial with two witness in which by definition there would no corroboration on either side. And in keeping with the desires of the one stop shop of scorched earth as policy for everything Trump.

When the R Senators took over questioning, the shock of Ford's truth having abated after a lunch f cold crow, it was then Graham blasted out a loud warning to Kavanaugh to just keep on trucking because it was already fucked all up...was that when blaming the Clintons and the Deep State got a shout out? Not sure...but honestly, did not see that bit of breathtaking partisanship and fantastical thinking coming!

All else aside this man is a RW extremist and partisan of the worst kind, a Fox News judge with exactly the kind of barely restrained temperament to join the Fox News administration.

Fuck, Justice Pierino just went up a notch in my judicial ranking from pond scum to the bacteria the pond scum feeds on.

If someone has not filed a complaint with the judicial oversight and complaints committee of the Court of Appeals over this disqualifying bias and political partisanship so clearly shown, maybe someone in the jurisdiction with standing could do the good deed.

Anyways....long day for me...lost of DU posting...one hide...one appeal to administration...

But a much better sleep than last night, I will tell you all that!

.......

Edit....

Interesting twitter based article...on replay...K. swore under oath...did not see Ford...believe him or not.

1. I don't believe him

I think while he was sitting in Pence's office in the Senate, they were both watching her testimony...and he was getting pointers on how to act!!!

[Fred Sanders]

5. If they wanted a criminal trial, which they did, having Brett view the witness testimony while not

even in the same room, was just weird. Any criminal accused has the right to hear the testimony...but the whole concept of turning this into a criminal trial failed on the very first test of a real criminal trial...accuser and accused in same room!

So, from the get go...not a criminal trial. See that, media, it is not that hard to separate a trial of crime from a trial of character.

10. I think he lied as well. At least saw enough of it, but was too inflexible to change his talk. nt

[brush]

12. He lied about that too. It was reported yesterday that he did watch. The man is as much a...

liar as trump.

And you know if he lied about such a little thing like that you know he's lying about the big things.

He's a fool. He's been around DC for decades he ought to know things like that get out. And there was no need to lie about it. What possible advantage could saying he didn't watch Dr. Ford's testimony get him?

2. I think he watched her and lied about it.

[Me.]

3. It Has Been Reported That He Did Watch

and then lied under oath

[Fred Sanders]

7. He swore under oath he did not...I believe his oath. Makes more sense given the strategy.

Not because he is believable, because that was the plan.

[GeorgeGist]

4. WSJ reported that he did watch.

[Fred Sanders]

6. I swore he swore under oath...he did not...here it is....

Later during the hearing, Senator Kamala Harris asked Kavanaugh, "Did you watch Dr. Ford's testimony?"

"I did not," Kavanaugh admitted. "I planned to, but I did not. I was preparing mine."

8. I Think The FBI Needs To Add You To Their List

[Fred Sanders]

9. I am flattered, but I will take the 5th...just on principle.

[Me.]

11. ...

[MrsCoffee]

13. And you just .... give him the benefit of the doubt?

pffffff

He's a fucking liar. It's what he does.

But yeah, this one time he told the truth....

[Fred Sanders]

15. You are totally missing my point, with respect.

[Staph]

14. Error in the article

When the R Senators took over questioning, the shock of Ford's truth having abated after a lunch f cold crow, it was then Graham blasted out a loud warning to Kavanaugh to just keep on trucking because it was already fucked all up...was that when blaming the Clintons and the Deep State got a shout out? Not sure...but honestly, did not see that bit of breathtaking partisanship and fantastical thinking coming!

The blaming of the Clintons was in his rewritten opening statement.

[Fred Sanders]

16. Thanks, not sure about that as I noted...but all guns blazing is evidence he did not view the

testimony. lying on that or not not being the main concern. Another topic.
