Dr. Christine Blasey Ford\u2018s legal team has sent a letter (which can be seen below via NBC\u2019s Frank Thorp) to the Senate Judiciary Committee amid continuous negotiations ahead of Thursday\u2019s scheduled hearing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In new letter from Dr Ford\u2019s Attorney to the Judiciary Committee, they again object to having outside counsel ask the questions for republicans at Thursday\u2019s hearing, and ask for the name and resume of who that person will be.<\/p>\n

In the letter addressed to Sen. Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley<\/strong> (R-IA), Ford\u2019s legal team cites Sen. Majority Leader\u2019s Mitch McConnell\u2019s (R-KY) speech on the Senate floor on Monday afternoon as \u201cflatly inconsistent\u201d\u00a0with Grassley\u2019s promise of a \u201cfair and credible process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our view, the hiring of an unnamed \u2018experienced sex crimes prosecutor\u2019 as Mr. Davis described in his email, is contrary to the Majority\u2019s repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee\u2019s members to fulfill their constitutional obligations,\u201d attorney Michael Bromwich<\/strong> wrote. \u201cIt is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a \u2018circus,\u2019 as well as Dr. Blasey Ford\u2019s repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning. This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s team requested the identity of the sex crimes prosecutors the Committee would invite to the hearing along with their resumes.<\/p>\n
