josh dosse. jeffrey, if i can begin with you. clearly republicans, as manu was noting on the committee, do not want a dynamic where you have several white men questioning a woman who is claiming sexual assault. but you have a prosecutor taking that role. do you expect to see a prosecutorial like cross-examination here, tough questions not just for ford but also for brett kavanaugh here, to press them in a way that you might not see otherwise in a civic confirmation hearing? >> no. i expect that this lawyer will press ms. ford and not press brett kavanaugh. she works for the republicans. that's her job. it is her job to get brett kavanaugh confirmed. i don't think we should be in any doubt about that. and i do think it could mean potential peril for ms. ford
