The GOP plan was to have Kavenaugh and Ford TOGETHER in the same hearing at the same time.

I have not heard anyone talking about this, but have read it a number of times, that the GOP plan was to have them together in the same hearing, at the same time????

A sex crime victim with the attacker in the room with her?

And even Susan Colllins said she didn't understand why Ford would not want to testify Monday.

Has anyone heard any media picking up on this? I can't believe it's being overlooked. Maybe I've just missed it?

Edited to add: Just read this regarding negotiations between her attorneys and GOP:
