Mr. Lee raises objection saying;
Law firms abound in this town. They are metastasizing There are a lot of them They break off and form new firms They are like rabbits spawning new firms (a gentleman in background breaks down laughing) There is no possible way, we can expect this witness to know who populates an entire firm that he is not even sure...
My point of order Chairman is simply this, if there are names a list of names he can be given of the lawyers to whom she is referring it's fine But I think it's unfair to suggest that an entire law firm should be imputed into witness memory when he doesn't know who works at the law firm.
It looks like Brett Kavanaugh doesn't remember people he discusses Robert Mueller investigation with which is odd because You don't strike conversation on unrelated topics with random people.
