Questions for Ford That Aren't Being Asked

A good list of questions.

Mitchell is completely ignoring all of this in an effort to play nice.

Meanwhile, Kavanaugh's chances are plummeting.

4) Her own immediate family doesn't appear to be backing her up, either. Her mother, father and two siblings are all conspicuously absent from a letter of support released by a dozen relatives, mostly on her husband's side of the family.

The letter attests to her honesty and integrity. "Why didn't her parents and brothers sign the letter?" a congressional source familiar with the investigation wondered.

5) This summer, Ford tried to reach out to old friends from high school and college to jog her memory. They couldn’t help her. "I've been trying to forget this all my life, and now I’m supposed to remember every little detail," Ford complained to one friend in July, according to an account in The San Jose Mercury News.

6) Yet she still pushed forward with her bombshell charge, contacting The Washington Post tip line and Democratic lawmakers, while hiring a Democratic activist lawyer. Ford is also a Democrat, as well as an anti-Trump marcher, raising questions about the motive and timing of the allegations along with their veracity.

7) Ford contends that notes her therapist took in 2012 corroborate her account. But they don’t mention Kavanaugh.

They also point up inconsistencies in her story. For instance, her shrink noted that Ford told her there were "four boys" in the bedroom, not two as she now says. The notes also indicate Ford said she was in her "late teens" when she was assaulted. But Ford now says she may have been only 15.

Meanwhile, Ford is wasting what little time Mitchell has, and Mitchell is permitting her to do so.

For example, Mitchell was asking about the polygraph. Rather than saying "Returning to the polygraph," she said something like, "You took a polygraph on August 7th, is that correct?"

At this point, Ford's amazingly deficient memory got to speak about what it didn't know for about 30 precious seconds as she be-bopped and scatted about travel plans.

The date of the polygraph did not matter, and mentioning it only served to grant Ford the chance to deploy her semi-retarded brain to waste more time babbling and goo-goo-ing.

Mitchell keeps asking questions with this sort of invitation for a rambling response, instead of Yes/No questions. And she never instructs Ford to please limit her answers to Yes or No.

Honestly, I think it's over, unless Mitchell has saved her haymakers for the last round. Which I doubt. Her demeanor suggests that she's not just playing at being friendly towards Ford, but that she actually is friendly towards Ford. It's like she wants to be galpals with her.
