Why is Ford requesting that outside legal counsel not question her, is she afraid that someone experienced with cross examination might get?

To the truth?

Her idea of "outside legal counsel" is some lawyer on Soros's payroll to toss her underhanded softballs and fire a bazooka at Kavanaugh repeatedly.

She's supposed to be giving information to senators. If they want to ask disrespectful questions and badger a sex crime victim they can do it themselves on camera for the world to see. She is not on trial. She is not trying to convince senators to give her a bunch of power. If anyone should be interrogated by a prosecutor it's the person accused of the crime, not the victim.

Why would the victim place herself at the mercy of a hostile counsel?

She is being very smart in asking for the right conditions to tell her story. The GOP wants to come down on her like a pack of vultures, we get that.

All of the members of the Senate committee in question - Democrat and Republican - are older White males. The demand that only members of the committee question her is designed to create the talking point that "a woman can't get justice" when being investigated by White men.

She broke, she is a liar.

She's afraid she will be caught in her lies.

Let Trey Gowdy question her.

She is testifying at a Senate confirmation hearing. It is not a court of law. She is only subject to examination by the Senate.

She is a liar and a fraud. Typical demorat huh!

If she has nothing to hide, she should welcome the questioning, right? Isn't that what we always see here on YA?
