The best impeachment of Rachel Mitchell's credibility to judge the farcical hearing she participated in last Thursday is that her employers, the Republicans supporting Brett Kavanaugh, disposed of her suddenly and publicly during the hearing. It might have been the most public display of No Confidence by employers given since . . . Well, I was going to mention Arthur Godfrey firing Julius La Rosa but there was this program I heard about called "Celebrity Apprentice," though I never watched it. Donald Trump was on it and he's awful.
As I would have predicted before I laid eyes on Rachel Mitchell, she would issue a report ritually and meaninglessly discrediting Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, filling her employers understood order, no doubt.
As some are pointing out, her irrelevant assessment is made even more irrelevant by the fact that Dr. Ford isn't the one who is asking for the promotion to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh who lied and evaded repeatedly in front of her is.
She certainly deserves to suffer professionally, as a "sex crimes prosecutor" for the role she played in the Grassley-Graham production. If I had a child who was sexually abused or raped in her district, I'd ask to have a different person investigate it. I wouldn't trust her to not side with the perpetrator, especially if he were a Republican.
According to Huffington Post: "She [Mitchell] was laughing and tossing back beers with Grassley's staff at Union Pub on Friday. She knows who she works for."
ReplyDeleteClearly "professional" means something different in Rachel Mitchell's circle than it does in mine.
DeleteTo hell with her, she's Kellyanne with a different haircut and method of lying.
