Rachel Mitchell's Former Colleague Slams Her Kavanaugh Memo As 'Absolute Bullsh*t'
'Arizona defense attorney Matthew Long used to consider his former boss Rachel Mitchell a mentor. But in the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh sexual-assault hearings, where Mitchell was called in to question Kavanaugh and his accuser, he says he finds her conclusions very disappointing and, putting it more bluntly, absolute bullshit. . .
Following Fords heartbreaking testimony and Kavanaughs petulant one Mitchell submitted a memo to the Senate Republicans on Sunday, writing that Fords case was even weaker than a he said, she said case, and that she does not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee.
Long told Mother Jones that Mitchells analysis is disingenuous and absurd, as she didnt have sufficient information to even draw these conclusions. He also called absolute bullshit on Mitchells claim in the memo that Fords potential witnesses have either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them.
Its bullshit because all we have are these signed statements, which are unreliable, he furthered.
The memo, Long argued, is not consistent with how Mitchell typically prosecutes sex crimes. He also slammed her failure to analyze Kavanaughs testimony, which he said reveals her political bias especially given the significant possibility that the SCOTUS nominee repeatedly lied under oath.
Her only analysis should have been: The process youve given me, the information we have, is insufficient, Long told Mother Jones.'
