Rachel Mitchell, the veteran sex crimes prosecutor who was chosen by the GOP to question Christine Ford and Brett Kavanaugh, sent a memo to Republican senators calling Ford's allegations a "He said, she said" case that "Is even weaker than that."
Dr. Ford "Has struggled to identify Judge Kavanaugh as the assailant by name."
She did note that Ford's husband "Claims to recall that she identified Judge Kavanaugh by name in 2012" and added "In any event, it took Dr. Ford over thirty years to name her assailant. Delayed disclosure of abuse is common so this is not dispositive."
Mitchell pointed out that Ford "Does remember small, distinct details from the party unrelated to the assault. For example, she testified that she had exactly one beer at the party and was taking no medication at the time of the alleged assault."
Mitchell wrote that Dr. Ford has named three people other than Judge Kavanaugh who attended the party - Mark Judge, Patrick PJ Smyth, and her lifelong friend Leland Keyser, formerly Ingham.
Mitchell wrote that Ford wrote in her letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein that she had heard Kavanaugh and Mark Judge talking to other partygoers downstairs while hiding in the bathroom after the alleged assault but testified that she could not hear them talking to anyone.
"Dr. Ford has struggled to recall important recent events relating to her allegations, and her testimony regarding recent events raises further questions about her memory."
