Today we learn that Dr. Blasey Ford doesn't want someone experienced in prosecuting sex crimes to interview her about her experience as a sex crime victim because that would be unfair. She's demanded an FBI investigation of the whole incident, but having a sex crimes prosecutor ask questions is something (I suppose) would never be involved in an FBI investigation. At least the one she demanded.
I suppose that makes about as much sense as modern Senate Committee confirmation hearings ever do. Witnesses picking their own questioner isn't too outlandish in a place where Democratic Senator Booker gets to shame others about sexual misbehavior, one of his go to topics when he rights columns.
I think we might as well just let Dr. Blasey Ford ask and answer her own questions. If that's ok with her lawyers.
