I think I know who the female sex crimes investigator will be

[cyclonefence]

who's going to question Dr. Ford. I bet it's Linda Fairstein, retired from the NYC attorney's office and the only well-known female sex-crimes investigator anyone's ever heard of.

Thing is, she's strongly pro-victim and pro-woman. Graduated from Vassar when it was all-female, and a real smart cookie.

Hope I'm right.

1. Unless she's a Republican shill it's not her.

[htuttle]

2. Sounds way too qualified for the Republicans to have chosen her

I'm expecting someone on the order of Jeanine Pirro.

[PoliticAverse]

15. Yeah Jeanine Pirro is the name I immediately thought of when I read "prosecutor". n/t

[global1]

3. If She Is Pro-Victim And Pro-Woman.....

it won't be her. I doubt the Repugs would hire such a person. Now if you said Jeanine Pirro - you might be right.

[drray23]

4. It's unlikely they pick her.

They would not be able to control her and have her smear dr. Ford. It could be Kelly Ayotte, former GOP senator, lawyer and prosecutor. Either her or some RW lawyer.

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Could be

[ProudLib72]

7. Even she is too qualified and liberal

You're on the right track with the sex thing, though.

[Bettie]

6. They'll probably get Judge Janine

to screech at her for a while.

[rurallib]

9. That's the one that came to my mind

or maybe Michele Bachman

[Bettie]

13. It will, no doubt, be

someone horrific. Because their day won't feel complete unless they can utterly destroy this woman. I doubt they will be successful.

14. Thom Hartmann had the best idea

Ford refuses to answer any questions not asked by a senator.

[bdamomma]

8. Crap

this is BS, the Judiciary Committee are a bunch of cowards. This will not be forgotten.

They do not want to be held responsible, but they do not want the FBI to investigate??? What BS is this?

[rurallib]

12. Just sent a note to Grassley calling him a coward hiding behind a woman

hope it stings, but his staff will never show it to him.

[Bettie]

21. Do you get his occasional response letters

telling you that you really don't understand what's going on and that you are wrong in every way?

Oh, I detest that man.

[rurallib]

22. oh yeah - last one was seven pages - should start a fire this winter

[lpbk2713]

10. Michele Bachmann has a law degree.

She's available. She's dumb as a stump. And she'll do anything the rethugs will tell her.

[LexVegas]

11. What? nt

[TomSlick]

16. I'm betting on Lydia - Aunt Lydia

[flotsam]

17. You should look into Kelly Ayotte

who loves the limelight...

[Cha]

18. Are you kidding.. the goputin predators will get a

female clone of themselves.

[Bradshaw3]

19. They only want someone who will do their dirty work

and is female to give them cover.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. They're definitely adding someone who thinks along repug lines.

I'd guess Jeanine Pirro too. Sadly.
