Did anyone bother to tell Rachel Mitchell that she's supposed to be on the GOP's side?

7. I suspect that each Senator gave her the questions they want asked

And she's trying to ask those questions in the five minutes that would have been allotted to them. But having an outside person do it just ends up sounding disjointed and of little effect.

I would LOVE to know what Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are thinking right now.

I think that bringing in Ms. Mitchell to do the questioning will go down as one of the all-time stupidest, most impactful blunder in Committee history. People all over the country are watching a calm rational female walking a very credible, sympathetic witness through extremely difficult testimony - and not doing a thing to shake her believability or dignity. Not what the Grassley and the boys had in mind.
