Rachel Mitchell is now earning her fee for speaking for republican 'men'

after asking eleven questions she's ready to pass judgement on Dr. Ford (she asked two questions of kavanaugh, but had no opinion)

Outside counsel tells Republican senators 'reasonable prosecutor' would not bring Ford case against Kavanaugh

Washington (CNN)In a memorandum to Republican senators, Rachel Mitchell says a "reasonable prosecutor" would not bring a case against Brett Kavanaugh based on Christine Blasey Ford's sexual assault allegation given the evidence presented to the Judiciary Committee.

But Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor hired by Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans who questioned Ford last Thursday, also notes, "A Senate confirmation hearing is not a trial, especially not a prosecution."

Mitchell cites inconsistencies in Ford's statements to the committee, The Washington Post, and her therapist about the alleged assault, which Ford alleges took place when she and Kavanaugh were in high school.

Mitchell also notes the lack of corroboration of Ford's account, including recalling details that could back her story.

1. Doesn't she have something better to do?

Like handling the backlog of rape cases she's responsible for?

2. Well, now that I've heard from the prosecutor that enabled Joe Arpaio, I guess that's that.

4. Give her credit for stating the obvious too many did not grasp, including the media in their rush to

have a TV crime trial, not a boring trial of character.

"But Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor hired by Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans who questioned Ford last Thursday, also notes, "A Senate confirmation hearing is not a trial, especially not a prosecution.""

Now that should be the headline.

3. The hearing was not a criminal trial?! Duh! Did she say that in front of the committee?

That would have blown the whole Kangaroo Court up from the get go and not at the end.

Also, real crime nail investigations occur firs by real investigators, not Congressional staffers, then the indictment, not the other way around, usually!

5. It was designed to be a bag job all along.

She had no intention of validating Dr. Ford's allegation. She was there to break her down, and when she did not, she put on her cloak of prosecutor to cast aspersions.

6. Precisely

7. All she needed to say was "The Statute of Limitation for attempted rape prosecutions in

Maryland ran over three decades ago." I will say "shill" rather than some "w" word.
