Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Accuser, Told The Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday That The Office Of The Committee’s Own Ranking Democrat, Dianne Feinstein (D-ca), Helped Select Her Lead Attorney.
“Dr. Ford, in choosing attorneys, did anyone help you with the choice?” Rachel Mitchell, the Phoenix, Arizona, special victims division chief enlisted as outside counsel to take Ford’s testimony, asked.
“Various people referred me to lawyers that they knew in the Washington, DC-area,” Ford responded. “I asked some family members and friends and they referred me to like divorce attorneys that might know somebody … I ended up interviewing several law firms from the DC-area.”
Unsatisfied with that answer, Mitchell pressed Ford to answer if anyone other than friends and family helped her choose a lawyer.
“Um, I think that the staff of Diane Feinstein’s office suggested the possibility of some attorneys,” Ford replied, without saying what effect that advice may have had.
“Including the two that are sitting on either side of you?” Mitchell asked, to which Ford replied, “Not both of them, no.”
Mitchell asked for clarification of these indefinite answers in her next five minute questioning session. “Which of your two lawyers did Senator Feinstein’s office recommend?”
“The Katz firm,” Ford responded, indicating her initial lead attorney, Democratic donor and activist Deborah Katz, was selected with assistance from the Judiciary Committee’s ranking Democrat. – READ MORE
