In nearly an hour-long telephone call in which the Judiciary Committee staff did most of the listening, Debra Katz, an attorney for Christine Blasey Ford, went through a series of concerns and preferences should she agree to appear before the committee next week.
The earliest she could show would be Thursday, Republican and Democratic sources told NBC News.
Ford’s attorney also relayed her concern about security and asked that the committee work with her to ensure she would be safe if she agrees to testify.
Here are the other items Ford requested:
Wants to testify second and Kavanaugh to appear first;
Doesn't want Kavanaugh in the room at the same time with her;
Prefers not to be questioned by outside counsel, but rather by the senators on the committee;
Would like the committee to subpoena Mark Judge, the other student Ford alleges to be in the room at the time of the assault, to testify;
Says each senator should have equal time questioning (already committee practice);
No time limit on her opening statement; and
Will appear at a public hearing but she would like to limit the number of cameras to pool coverage.

You see her demands as excessive. I understand where you're coming from. At least she's dropped the "FBI Investigation" as a prerequisite.

The woman is lying without a doubt. Meet all her demands so she can finally testify in front of congress and get charged with perjury.
This is getting ridiculous.

IMO, the authorities would never charge a high-profile female assault victim with committing perjury.
In fact, I bet the questions she gets from Republican Senators will be "soft ball", and asked oh so delicately.

One thing that seems obvious is that Ms. Ford has been preparing for "something" like this since 2012. Otherwise, why would she have a lie detector test administered to herself back then?

I think the opposite, that is if she actually goes before congress.

Do you know if Christine told her Mom or Dad of this traumatic event when it happened, or at any time thereafter?
All I've heard of is her 2012 therapist being told, before a CA. Congresswomen, who relayed this to Diane Feinstein.
