Dershowitz on why Rachel Mitchell was benched half way through the hearing, Thursday. (He warned us that she was not qualified).

Update:  After the hearing and in private session,  Mss Mitchell told the GOP in attendance that she did not believe there was enough evidience to prosecute.   (reported by CNN Friday morning - 4 am).  


 “I was criticized very much for making that point I turned out to be 100% right,” Dershowitz replied. “She was totally and completely incompetent in terms of asking cross-examination questions. Because she has little experience.”
For example, the main issue now is whether or not she [Ford] recognized Kavanaugh correctly,” he added. “She was never asked whether ‘how well she knew him, how many times she encountered him before this. How close was their relationship?'”
Dershowitz continued, “There was nothing that could raise questions about whether even if she believes she is telling the truth, she may have misidentified. So she just did a terrible job. And I think the Republicans realized that and they canned her right in the middle. But it was a very bad choice.”
