"I have four points I want to make about the partisan memo released by Senate Republicans from the prosecutor they brought in to cross examine the sexual assault survivor they were too scared to question themselves.

1) I watched Dr. Ford share her story & I believe her. She was honest, real, & when she said she was 100% sure, she had absolutely no reason to lie. I watched Judge Kavanaugh & I don't believe him. He seemed angry, defensive, entitled & untruthful about a range of subjects.

2) Senate Republicans chose to make this a he-said-she-said hearing, it didn't have to and shouldn't have been. We should have heard from ALL relevant witnesses after full investigation to bring in all facts and info.

3) This is not a trial. Dr. Ford is not on trial. And Judge Kavanaugh is not on trial. The Senate's role is to use our judgement -- not that of a prosecutor -- to make a decision about his fitness to be on the Supreme Court.

4) This is clearly a partisan attempt by some Republicans to discredit Dr. Ford. No fair and independent investigation would come to a conclusion before hearing from witnesses and gathering more info. --PM"
