politicized this from day one, who have been lying in wait for a political purpose. miss mitchell methodically went through the facts of what happened that dave and leading up to that day and how we find ourselves there. from my point of view, i m pleased with what i saw. given what you laid out about your own background as a prosecutor, defense attorney, as a judge, did you find dr. ford to be credible? i didn t find her allegations to be corroborated against mr. kavanaugh. i don t doubt something happened to her but she is saying it s brett kavanaugh. she can t tell me the house, the city, she can t tell me the month of the year. he s saying i didn t do it. so here s what you do when you have an emotional accusation and an emotional denial, use the rule of law, the presumption of innocence attaches to the person accused. we have to give them notice of the times and location.
methodically go. in the first five minutes, she was more to the point than she was on the questioning of christine blasey ford. as martha pointed out, she would be going after the person accused. in this point, we know the allegations. it was interesting when he talked to dianne feinstein. she said all of these women that have accused you for fbi investigatio investigations. he said would you do that? he said i ll do it. i wanted to come the next day. that s when he was the most fired up. he said i have nothing to hide. i wanted to come here. he was very careful to address dr. ford with great respect and deference and say i have no ill will to her. that is the moment that it seemed the most emotional. he said we pray for her. my little daughter said let s pray for the lady. i don t wish her ill will. all i can tell you it was
