The 115th Congress-Washington 2017

[Tallahassee News Station]

Senator Locklear: "And you have no idea who this mysterious "they" might be?"

"No, I don't have any evidence besides speculation."

[Tallahassee News Station]

"My reputation was the main area where I was threatened. Claims that "they" would destroy my professional reputation. A physical threat to inflict pain was made later."

Senator Wilson: "Were you offered payment and how much, and do you have descriptions of the threats on your physical body."

"Both the offers and the threats were very vague. "Extremely well compensated for your time" for the offer and "If you keep this up you're going to end up getting hurt" for the threat."

"Both the offers and the threats were very vague. "Extremely well compensated for your time" for the offer and "If you keep this up you're going to end up getting hurt" for the threat."

"Under oath, did you ever accept compensation?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"Both the offers and the threats were very vague. "Extremely well compensated for your time" for the offer and "If you keep this up you're going to end up getting hurt" for the threat."

"Under oath, did you ever accept compensation?"

"No"

[Dentali]

"Under oath, did you ever accept compensation?"

"No"

"Do you have any physical evidence of these people and their threats? Video, audio, call logs? Can you describe the person who went to your apartment? Does you apartment have security cameras or some form of log?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"No"

"Do you have any physical evidence of these people and their threats? Video, audio, call logs? Can you describe the person who went to your apartment? Does you apartment have security cameras or some form of log?"

"There may be fingerprints on my door handle, if they could be singled out. I can describe them and my apartment does have security feeds"

"Do you have a name?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"Do you have a name?"

"Sophia Lorenz" she deadpanned

[Vaquas]

"Do you have a name?"

"Sophia Lorenz" she deadpanned

"This process isn't a joke Ms. Lorenz." Locklear said sternly, despite her internal feelings on that front. "Do you have a name for the person who contacted you?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"Sophia Lorenz" she deadpanned

"This process isn't a joke Ms. Lorenz." Locklear said sternly, despite her internal feelings on that front. "Do you have a name for the person who contacted you?"

"Tom Baker" she responded, without a change in tone

[Tallahassee News Station]

After Lorenz finished her testimony and was dismissed, Joanna Larner, a black haired stern looking woman was sworn in and made her opening statement.

"Everything I said about Rossi was true. Fact. These denials don't have any basis in reality. Rossi was someone who put on a sweet face to the public, but in private I know and I'll testify under oath that she was filled with toxic racism and homophobia up to the brim. So go ahead and ask away."

"Ms. Larner, how long have you known Dr. Rossi?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

Committee Floor

"Ms. Larner, how long have you known Dr. Rossi?"

"I knew her for a few years in college. And that was more than long enough."

[Chewion]

Committee Floor

"Ms. Larner, how long have you known Dr. Rossi?"

"I knew her for a few years in college. And that was more than long enough."

“Before we proceed. Are you clear on the fact that lying to this committee is an act of purjury which is a felony and carries a penalty of up to five years. Keep that in mind when I tell you that if you would like to change your story, now is the only time to do so because we will be figuring out the truth. Now if you still insist your version is true, please detail for us the circumstances when the offending language was used by Mrs. Rossi.”

"I noticed you never made a threat like that for the people you called in to defend her. Definitely makes this hearing look nice and unbiased doesn't it? You're not looking for the actual truth of this, you're trying to shield your partisan ally." Joanna aggressively accused.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

“Alright let us all calm down here. What we care is about the truth. So what language did Dr Rossi use in private?”

[Prolieum]

Senate Floor

Amaras scoffed. "This is supposed to be a reliable witness?"

[Meelducan]

Committee Floor

"Typical," Darnell said writing something down. "I'm sorry about the behavior of some Senators from across the aisle, it is really sad to see party politics play into investigations." Darnell paused.

"Were you ever a member of the Archery Club, Ms. Larner?"

"Were you ever a member of the Archery Club, Ms. Larner?"

"Thank you Senator. Yes, I was."

"And for the other question, whoever is broadcasting this should have a bleeper ready if they want to protect the public conscience, or whatever, because she said some nasty stuff"

[Meelducan]

Committee Floor

"Did you ever hear Dr. Rossi use racist or homophobic slurs when she was practicing archery?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

Committee Floor

"Did you ever hear Dr. Rossi use racist or homophobic slurs when she was practicing archery?"

"No, she would put on a pretty face when she was in public like that. She used them in private"

"No, she would put on a pretty face when she was in public like that. She used them in private"

"Please relay any incidents in the most detail you can, when and where exactly? What was the context? Who else was in the room?"

[Tallahassee News Station]

"No, she would put on a pretty face when she was in public like that. She used them in private"

"Please relay any incidents in the most detail you can, when and where exactly? What was the context? Who else was in the room?"

"It was usually just William, her and I, different spots around campus or out in town, just hanging out. She never got out much and Will and I felt bad for her, so we invited her out a couple times, and then we got to hear all that ugliness she kept hidden on the second or third time, and she just kept going. She thought we were friends then and it took months to just get away from that toxic woman, she would go on rants anywhere where she didn't think anyone else could hear, just racist, supremacist, heteronormative rants, apparently she thought Will and I were just fine with it because she'd act all shy and smiling in public then take off the mask when we were around"

"Now as you apparently know several people who have testified that they were approached with money and threats to make such claims. Were you ever approached to speak out against Rossi?"

"The only people who approached me were the WSJ reporters"
