Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell asked both Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh questions at the circus last week. She reportedly spoke to Republican senators after the hearings and “concluded that not only would she not charge Kavanaugh based on the record of evidence from both parties, but would not even pursue a search warrant for the judge, which in virtually all cases would require the standard of probable cause to be met, Politico reported.”
Oh. That’s awkward.
Wait. There’s more. She released her memo of Ford’s testimony last night, and it’s causing a ruckus in the hearts and minds of #resisters everywhere. In her independent analysis, she straight up says that the shady business of Democrats likely influenced Ford’s testimony.

“The activities of congressional Democrats and Dr. Ford’s attorneys likely affected Dr. Ford’s account,” she wrote.
This is coming from a PROFESSIONAL, you guys. Which is just what Democrats wanted, right?
This makes it look even worse for The Democrats. They had this info in early July. If they were so worried that Kavanaugh was a serial rapist, they would have immediately encouraged her to go to the authorities rather than hire a Democratic operative lawyer.

Timeline is very compelling.. I’m now believing Ford took an event from her past and tailored it for this hit job aided and abetted by the DEMS

Wow. Stinks to high Heaven as a setup.
This is just the coordination we know at this time. Imagine if we had who and how the letter was leaked?

Every legal expert said Ford was coached. That’s why she kept her testimony filled with weasel words.

You can read her entire analysis here, but this chunk really sums it up:
In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A “he said, she said” case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that. Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event, and those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them. For the reasons discussed below, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee. Nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard.
Here are the bullet points. The actual analysis lists the specific details of each point. Many of her points are EXACTLY what I was screaming at my TV during Ford’s testimony.
Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened.
Dr. Ford has struggled to identify Judge Kavanaugh as the assailant by name.
When speaking with her husband, Dr. Ford changed her description of the incident to become
less specificDr. Ford has no memory of key details of the night in question—details that could help corroborate her account.

Plain as the nose on your face. This has all been a political hit job. They should all be so ashamed

But they’re not. Now they’ll call Mitchell a partisan hack with no shred of credibility or something. Just wait. It’s coming. This didn’t count. Do-over!
