WASHINGTON — Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans said Tuesday that they had hired an outside attorney to question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of sexually assaulting her, at the committee's hearing on Thursday.
"The goal is to de-politicize the process and get to the truth, instead of grandstanding and giving senators an opportunity to launch their presidential campaigns," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the committee's chairman, said in a statement. "I’m very appreciative that Rachel Mitchell has stepped forward to serve in this important and serious role."
Meanwhile, both President Donald Trump and leading Hill Republicans continued to take a sharper tone Tuesday on the accusations against Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh, too, was mobbed in the press out of fear that he might join with Clarence Thomas and overturn Roe v. Wade and other cases, which gave the imprimatur to abortion-on-demand in the United States.
Truth enables justice, and justice is the necessary condition for the American way to function. When these fall apart, society cannot long endure. Justice on Trial is the story of how America lost its moral bearings and succumbed to the temptation of destroying good men for the sake of a political and moral agenda.
One thing that keeps America together as a nation is the assumption that fairness and equality before the law will guide government and citizens alike. Truth, justice, and the American way—this is not a cliché; it is a chain of reasoning. The American way is grounded in justice, and justice, in turn, is grounded in truth.
More than any other country, the United States is rooted in ideals. Americans share no common ethnicity or religion, and increasingly no common language. The nation is divided into two general political camps that vilify each other.
However, what strikes the reader of this excellent book is how many lies can be found at the heart of the entire sad affair. Yes, justice was run through the wood chipper during the Kavanaugh hearings .
Kavanaugh eventually produced evidence of his innocence and made an impassioned speech in defense of his good name. However, the damage was done. Americans had witnessed yet another spectacle of power-politics blinding citizens to broader considerations and long-term consequences for the nation as a whole.

When the Senators in 2018 were setting traps for Kavanaugh, they were themselves already caught in the “tangled web” they had woven for themselves by trafficking in even worse mendacities.
He was found guilty of his crimes and sentenced for up to 175 years on state charges of sexual assault. He was also given a 60-year sentence on federal child pornography charges. Time magazine honored Ford as one of the year’s most influential people.
The attorney for a woman who made unsupported allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh admitted that she and her client Christine Blasey Ford were motivated by their support for abortion. The admission, first reported in Ryan Lovelace’s new book “ Search and Destroy: Inside the Campaign Against Brett Kavanaugh ,” was confirmed with video footage.
Katz’s attorneys performed their work for free, they said. More than $850,000 was raised by activists to support Ford, and an endowment is being set up to honor her for making the claims against Kavanaugh.
By contrast, the claims against Kavanaugh were uncorroborated, including one claim brought by Michael Avenatti’s client Julie Swetnick that alleged Kavanaugh was the covert leader of an underage gang rape cartel that roamed the streets of suburban Maryland searching out victims.
Later, at an “Applied Feminism and #MeToo” conference, Lovelace reports, Katz admitted the allegations were brought forward to taint any abortion jurisprudence by the Supreme Court and undermine Kavanaugh’s authority. Katz admitted:
Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court was nearly derailed by last-minute unsubstantiated allegations that he had attempted to rape Ford when they were in high school decades prior. She said she feared he might kill her as well.
Sports Illustrated chose her to present an award to former gymnast Rachael Denhollander, who was the first of more than 250 women to publicly accuse USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of sexual assault.
26, Senate committee staff questioned Kavanaugh about the accusations in the letter. Kavanaugh said the claim was “ridiculous,” “a crock” and “didn’t happen.”. A transcript of the interview and the text of the letter were publicly released by the committee that day, and a few media outlets — but only a few — reported on it.
Some readers referred to headlines of articles about a Kavanaugh accuser admitting to making up her story and assumed it was about Ford, even though the ensuing stories made clear it was not. It is certainly understandable that some assumed Trump was talking about Ford when he referred to “the accuser of Brett Kavanaugh.”.
After Kavanaugh’s confirmation, Trump said he was “100 percent certain” that Kavanaugh did not commit any sexual assault.
In addition to Munroe-Leighton, Grassley referred Swetnick and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, to the Justice Department for criminal investigation related to a potential conspiracy to provide materially false statements to Congress and obstruction. No referral has been made for Ford or Ramirez.
During a rally in Missouri the night before the midterm elections, President Donald Trump said that “the accuser of Brett Kavanaugh” has “admitted she never met him, she never saw him … it was false accusations, it was a scam, it was fake.”
When Christine Blasey Ford testified against Brett Kavanaugh last year during his confirmation hearing to sit on the Supreme Court, she had the backing of the leftist media, the #MeToo movement, the pro-abortion movement, Hollywood, Democrats in Congress and her activist attorneys. But noticeably missing from Ford's corner was her family.
Brett Kavanaugh’s father was approached by Ford’s father at the golf club where they are both members," they report. "Ralph Blasey, Ford’s father, went out of his way to offer to Ed Kavanaugh his support of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, according to multiple people familiar with the conversation that took place ...
