Ford is no fool. She surely has been paid for this and will be paid more. She is on a mission and her reputation is not an issue. All of this will enhance her position where she works and she will be celebrated as a hero-victim.
The first two questions I would ask if I were sitting on that committee is, "Have any payments or promises of positions or promotions or anything of else value been offered to you in exchange for accusing Judge Kavanaugh?," and, "List all of the people and or political organizations that you have colluded or communicated with concerning accusations against Judge Kavanaugh up to the time of this hearing. Did any of them approach you before you sent your letter?" This would raise holy hell in the media, but it would be fun to watch her squirm.
Correct.
True - but interestingly - neither Ford, nor anyone in her camp seems to want her to appear publicly in any venue.
There’s a reason for that (I’m not sure what it is).
Republicans should call the bluff and send her an escort that will drive her cross country with police protection.
Set her up in a nice suite in DC.
Don’t give her any reason to continue her avoidance of cameras and public record.
