Why doesn't Ford know who's paying her lawyers?

Why doesn't Ford know who's paying her lawyers?

She wasn't coached on how to respond to that question so she feigned ignorance.

She knows, nobody is paying. It's called Pro Bono, her lawyer stated he is not, and has no expectations of being paid.

This is not relevant to the accusations.
And it doesn't mean Ford is lying.
It means that some people want to use the TRUTH to keep an unfit Judge from being appointed to the Supreme Court.
Good for them.
