She was a deep state fixer. Get the pubbies to give up their time to one person who runs down the clock. Finally Graham realized they were getting rolled.
Noticed her demeanor changed when interviewing Kav. Very accusatory.
Ms. Mitchell job was to do exactly what the Republican members of the Committee hired her to do. Nothing more, nothing less. And I would guess that that is exactly what she did.
I do not see this person, Rachel Mitchell, as a “deep state fixer” but as someone who was not given sufficient time to develop her line of inquiry to its maximum potential. Because of the constraints of time, she could only pursue a line of questioning as submitted by the member for whom she was a surrogate for the allotted five minutes, than the line of questioning was further fragmented by switching perspectives to the next member for whom she was serving as a surrogate.
Finally Lindsey Graham stepped in and took the line of questioning on the warpath, and not a simple experiment in building “empathy”.
The Democrats, on the other hand, were giving campaign speeches, at the expense of Christine Blasey Ford, whom they used cynically and with great manipulation, without regard to her personal circumstances.
In the end, Blasey Ford was pretty much reduced to the level of a trembling adolescent child, as reflected in her manner and her response to questions, with only rare and mostly condescending references to her as a person.
While this may have won her great admiration among many for her “bravery”, never was her honest capability to recall facts ever actually questioned.
