It's on CNN's webpage too. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kavanaugh-ford-sexual-assault-hearing/index.html
I’m not sure why she’d go with a sleaze ball Lionel Hutz esque attorney like Avaneti and not a lawyer that specializes in sexual assault like Fords lawyers. Feels more like a political play than pragmatic regarding the specific issues she outlined.
My guess is that his recently celebrity power would get it to the media quicker. When he has something to say, all outlets want to hear it whether they agree or not.
Yeah I’m sure she would have totally gone unheard in this media circus that is craving anything that whiffs of sexual misconduct had she not gone with Avenatti, just like the other accusers.
Avenatti is chaos Ronan Farrow. He gets a lot of attention. But the only reason people like him is because he's their asshole. If he was on Trump's side, he'd be hated even more than the other Trump people.
Just like Cohen being vilified until he dropped a dime on Trump, now he’s infallible to the left. Comey before that.
I honestly hope he doesn't run for pres. I mean, I'm sure he has the right opinions on the big issues, but I don't want another chaos person. The dems do need someone who's not afraid to fight though. This, "they go low, we go high" shit isn't going to cut it.
He'd certainly make a hell of a choice as Attorney General. And you can't say he isn't qualified, at least from a resume standpoint.
Have you asked any people on the left how they feel about Cohen and Comey? It's not very flattering at all.
That sound you hear is every republican slamming their head on the table repeatedly. This hearing is sad and depressing and I can't look away. What are the chances trump goes on twitter after this and makes it a thousand times worse?
She's certainly credible and sympathetic, I'm kind of wondering how Kavanaugh is going to defend other than to try and attack her credibility. I just don't see attacking her in any way as being a good idea at this point.
At this point the GOP just needs to put someone else up. You can't tell me there were no other qualified candidate? Like of all the candidates out there, the rapey one was the only dude who was a good fit?
Jesus fuck. CNN just asked Flake about the hearing so far and he said "I want to hear all the testimony before commenting." Cue all the CNN commentators clucking like chickens with absolute contempt. What a fucking joke of a news network. How dare he want to listen to the other side of the story?
Sure shes sympathetic, that was the strategy on behalf of her lawyers. Go for the emotional appeal instead of actual information. There still has not been any evidence presented that he actually did anything other than her word for it. Her therapist and her husband do not count as corroboration any more than anyone watching her testimony on CNN counts as corroboration. The Republicans already screwed it up, though.. Kavanaugh still has to give his side of things, but hes probably not charismatic enough to overcome it.
I've noticed that many of the Dem "Questioners" have spent most of their time grandstanding, appealing to emotion, and blaming Trump. Sadly, that's probably the best way for them to go about this rather than to try and get the truth.
Well one way would to get to the truth would be for the FBI to investigate. Which she’s only been requesting since early July when Kavanaugh was a nominee.
Perhaps they've learned that the Republicans don't care about the truth, and thus the only productive use of time is to focus on the elections in which Republicans can be removed.
What are they going to investigate? All people involved have given statements under oath. She says it happened, the other three said it didn't. What else are they going to investigate? Neither side cares about the truth, just their side winning. Kavanaugh and Dr Ford are now just political pawns and if the other side's pawn goes down in flames and their life is destroyed, so be it.
