LIVE THREAD>>>Judicial Hearing

[TomSea]

It sounds like the unique example they have of asking for an FBI investigation is merely, Clarence Thomas.

Brit Hume thinks that Ford's hesitancy and fragility make her credible. Just the opposite.

[mirraflake]

This fat prosecutor with the clown haircut is a disaster. All she does is ask these go nowhere questions and never calls her out.

She is supposed to be impartial.  She has actually called her out numerous way via backdoor.  The flying questions for one.

Memo to Chris Wallace who says the prosecutor "has not laid a glove on her": the GOP prosecutor is just trying to respectfully get FACTS, not "lay gloves" on anyone.

He's right.  To those who are inclined to believe her or are on the fence, her little girl act plays very well.

She took the polygraph on the day of her grandmother's funeral.

How telling is that by itself?

[austingirl]

Mitchell is excellent. She's exposed many inconsistencies about Ford's testimony. The talking heads analyzing this don't know what they're witnessing.

[LucasWhite]

She's a professor.  It would be very enlightening if there were videos of her teaching.  I would love to see how she acts in front of a group of students.  I'm betting the difference is 180 degrees.

I'm betting the 'real Ford' is quite different from what she is portraying here today.

Remember the innocent little girl show that Erin Andrews put on?  Aly Raisman as well.  They are floozies everywhere except the courtroom.

There are so many inconsistencies in Ford's story and erratic gaps in her memory.

[TomSea]

Napolitano doesn't like how this is going on.

[austingirl]

Ford describes the polygraph as long and stressful. The polygraph consisted of two questions.

"[Ford] is extremely credible and Rachel Mitchell is not laying a glove on her... the president cannot be happy with this." -- Judge Napolitano (a Trump favorite) on Fox News (which Trump surely is watching).

Mitchell using a typical “good cop” cross examination tactic — gentle style, non-confrontational, but methodically attempting to build a battery of alleged errors, mistakes or gaps in testimony.

She said she did not remember whether she gave the WaPo therapy notes.

WaPo: "The therapist’s notes, portions of which were provided by Ford and reviewed by The Washington Post, do not mention Kavanaugh’s name​..."

[austingirl]

At least Shannon Bream has a couple of functioning brain cells, she sees the foundation that Mitchell is laying out against Ford's story.

Judge Napolitano: President cannot be happy with this

[jpsb]

When she said she was crying during her polygraph test. I decided she was lying her ass off. And the
scared of flying BS from a few days ago did not help her credibility.

The polygraph timing cross was even worse than the airplane cross.

I think the biggest blow landed so far is the testimony about flying.  Ford has flown numerous times in the past without incident.   She obviously stated she did not want to fly because it would delay the hearing.  In other words, she lied for political motives.  It is not too much of a stretch to believe she might lie about other things for political motives as well.

The other interesting testimony is Ford's acknowledgement that she has a genetic predisposition toward PTSD and anxiety.  I believe her about that.  Someone with a serious genetic predisposition toward anxiety can easily take a relatively minor thing and elevate it in her mind to the point that it becomes a major trauma.  Someone with this condition can also fantasize about a certain thing and then over the years cement it in the memory so that it is believed to have been real.

These are the two biggest developments so far, as far as I can see.

[catfish1957]

Mitchell is excellent. She's exposed many inconsistencies about Ford's testimony. The talking heads analyzing this don't know what they're witnessing.

I remember seeing an article on Ford's left wing activist activities.  Why isn't that being brought up in testimony?

[austingirl]

Judge Napolitano is totally wrong about Mitchell's questioning. She's been awesome.

And the media is completely ignoring it.

Yeah, why isn't she being asked why she scrubbed her social media presence?  What was there to hide?

Good observation.
