Pure and simple. Going after motives and influences.

The last stuff the prosecutor woman asked was leading toward insinuating that Ford and Kavanaugh had some sort of boyfriend/girlfriend relationship prior to the attack.

That will get picked back up the next time she questions Ford. Watch. And Dr. Ford will emphatically deny it. She was 15 years old. She might have flirted with boys, like 15 year old girls often do. Innocently. Watch the prosecutor try to slut-shame her next.
