Yahoo News: Dem senator's aide notes that GOP benched Mitchell after she asked about July 1 party

“The Republican strategy was clear,” an aide to a Democratic senator on the Judiciary Committee wrote. “Employ a career prosecutor to cross examine Dr. Blasey Ford and then lob softballs at Judge Kavanaugh. Once Rachel Mitchell began to question Judge Kavanaugh, it became clear she was going to ask substantive questions. For example, she asked about his drinking and the July 1 party where Mark Judge and P.J. Smyth were in attendance. Republican senators then came to the rescue and benched her.”
