I am confused about "Grassley had not yet -- after all he'd said -- introduced Ford, "(last paragraph).

I think Feinstein or Democrats were to introduce Ford because they were on her side....

Why did Feinstein say "Grassley had not yet -- after all he'd said -- introduced Ford, " as a counter attack against Grassley??


Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Thirty-three minutes after the hearing into her accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh began, Christine Blasey Ford stood, took an oath and started to tell her story.

What followed will steer the fate of Kavanaugh's nomination, Ford's own life, and surely weigh on the political futures of perhaps dozens of political leaders and elected officials at the highest levels of government -- in particular Republicans who have defended Kavanaugh in the face of Ford's allegations.

After more than four hours, here are the six moments that will shape Americans' memory of the historic hearing.

Before the witness could speak a word, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, and its ranking member, California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, reprised their public debate over the process that led to the hearing.

Grassley began by lashing out at Feinstein and Democrats for not making Ford's private letter public sooner and defended the lack of an FBI probe into the allegations.

"Contrary to what the public has been led to believe" Grassley said, "the FBI doesn't perform any credibility assessments or verify the truth of any events in these background investigations."

Feinstein returned volley, first noting that Grassley had not yet -- after all he'd said -- introduced Ford, then assailed Republicans for calling the accusations and resulting firestorm a "hiccup," as Nevada Sen. Dean Heller did, and suggesting, like Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch had, that Ford was "mixed up" over what happened.
