Sources are reporting that Christine Ford has responded to the Judiciary Committee and has sent them a list of demands for the hearing next week:
SOURCES: Ford team wants NO questions from lawyers, only Qs from Committee members, #Kavanaugh cannot be in the room, Kavanaugh must testify FIRST – more to come …

CNN is also reporting that she doesn’t want to be in the same room with Kavanaugh.
Bream then tweeted…
I'm not the world's most experienced atty, but can't recall the defense ever going FIRST…

Yeah that is weird. Why would Kavanaugh have to go first considering he’s going to respond to her allegations?? That doesn’t make any sense.
And why can’t he be in the room? I think this is just a stunt to try and make Ford seem more credible. I ain’t buying it and I don’t think the American people will buy it either.
As far as the outside counsel, that would seem odd to me given that this isn’t a criminal hearing.
And according to the WH reporter for Wapo, they are discussing THURSDAY for the hearing. Ugh:
Oh! One more tidbit from the call. They are discussing Thursday as a potential hearing date but that is not yet locked down

It’s not the end of the world, but I really don’t like changing it to Thursday. Kavanaugh shouldn’t have to wait another week just to clear his name.
