Why would he want to trigger snowflakes and bring negative attention and heat to himself when a week from now this won't matter?
Do the math next time, son.
Useful idiots ^ being useful.She's McCabe's lawyer, too.
But no deep state.

Rape victims don't cry crocodile tears, son.
Opinion: Lindsey Graham's meltdown gives away the GOP game on Kavanaugh
Rachel Mitc ...- seemed to burn up her time on meaningless trivialities,
asking Ford questions about her fear of flying,
making opaque points about the layout of the neighborhood, and
floating impenetrable arguments about who paid for Ford's polygraph test.
Why did Mitc do this? Did she just screw up?
I think the answer lies in the meltdown that Senator Lindsey Graham
My guess is that the Republican game going into this was for Rachel Mitc to make as few waves as possible,
because they expect that
Kavanaugh will be able to deny the allegations with sufficient conviction to allow the handful of wavering GOP senators to decide they have just enough cover to confirm him,
on the idea that at its core, this is fundamentally unresolvable.
Given that expectation, it was fine for Mitc not to go hard at Ford to undermine her credibility, because at the end of the day,
all that matters to keep those undecideds in the fold is
for them to be able to say they have no grounds for saying that Kavanaugh was less credible than Ford was.
Republicans went into this counting on it to be a wash.
That's what Graham basically tried to say when he framed this as a "nice lady who has come forward to tell a hard story," while adding that she couldn't provide sufficient chronological and geographical details to furnish grounds for disbelieving Kavanaugh when he says "I'm 100 percent sure I didn't do it."
At the same time,
as Graham's tirade shows (note his reference to the mystery of who paid for the polygraph),
the specifics of Mitc 's questioning did appear
designed to feed right-wing media material to run with all sorts of weird conspiracy theorizing about how this is all a Democratic plot.
As Jeet Heer put it, via Twitter:
"One problem with Mitc 's questioning is that it only made sense
if you are fluent in wingnut and
only 27% of America speaks wingnut.
To everyone else, it's gibberish."
Right-wing media can tell the base that the proceedings were a secret success,
they did not count on was that Ford's performance might have a force all its own
In this sense,
Graham - and Republicans - really were ambushed. No wonder Graham is so ticked off.
But after Ford's showing, it seems even clearer that Republicans will indeed pay a big political price if they do confirm him.

Damn. Good point.
Are you really this dense? When not if the house gets flipped, even if his punkass is confirmed, this ain't over.
Matter of fact, Maryland authorities are looking into Dr. Ford's allegations right now. I'm sure they will turn over their findings to the FBI.
Bernie with the goods:
Police will investigate a reported crime.
It's over in a week (in terms of heavy pressure) regardless of the outcome.
Bernie should tread carefully given the apparent more serious federal crimes his wife has committed.
Damn. Good point.

Either side looking to the FBI for any kind of truth or justice.
And his fat ugly wife didnt lie to the FBI?
If they find something criminal (they WILL), WH will have no choice but to let them vet everything.
Has nothing to do with the current math, son.
Irrelevant. Bernie is not up for a lifetime appointment. Kavanagh is.
How you figure? There are credible complaints against Kavanagh. So much so that Maryland authorities will investigate if Dr. Ford presses charges. I bet she will.
You are saying the fact that she is fat and ugly is irrelevant????
WTF!?!?!
Damn rights.Lkfan doing some heavy lifting up in here.
From link
We remain prepared to investigate any allegation, should a victim come forward. To date, there have been no criminal reports filed with the Montgomery County Department of Police that would lead to the initiation of any criminal investigation related to Judge Kavanaugh…The Montgomery County Police Department and the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office stand ready to investigate any sexual assault allegation from any victim where the incident occurred in our jurisdiction.
Lol, selectively copy paste from the letter. Read the whole thing

Why would she NOT file a complaint? These GOP supporting assholes have threatened her life, made her family relocate at least twice, harrassed her on her job, etc.
I'd be surprised if she didn't file a complaint and so would you.
You can expect anything at this point, any bum could fill a report to make more noise.
This is the fever pitch, son. The math isn't hard.How you figure? There are credible complaints against Kavanagh. So much so that Maryland authorities will investigate if Dr. Ford presses charges. I bet she will.
