Ricki Seidman, a Democratic operative who helped impel Anita Hill to testify against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas over her allegations of sexual harassment, is now advising Christine Blasey Ford as she navigates a possible Senate testimony.
According to Politico, Seidman has been offering Blasey Ford personal advice on how to handle the barrage of attention and threats she’s received since publicly accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
“I believe her and I think she’s very courageous for coming this far,” Seidman told Politico.
Seidman, a senior member of TSD communications, has also worked as an investigator for Sen. Ted Kennedy and a communications director for then Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden. She also helped direct the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor, former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.
It’s not enough of a circus. I think the Dems should also demand an outside attorney to question Kavanaugh. I recommend Avenatti.
This reinforces my belief that Ford will testify Monday, and that the various moves/demands made this week on her behalf are correct and necessary preliminary maneuvers by her attorney.
Can’t this be described as lawyer who worked with Anita Hill? Using the term ‘Democratic Operative’ in headline makes this seem that Dr. Ford coming forward was a designed plot, as opposed to a victim sharing her story.
TPM sometimes sound a bit like TMz.
Based on how that went, it sadly that doesn’t give me much confidence. Only thing that really does is it’s decades later, and I’m hoping, based on the keep the past in the past shit Kavanaugh as said, they have some good evidence on him.
This just occurred to me. Watch it be something about helping a girl or two he got pregnant get an abortion! Fuck maybe even Blasey Ford!
