4 Oct: Daily Mail: EXCLUSIVE: ‘Christine Ford threw her under the bus.’ Strained ‘sex assault’ witness Leland Keyser is seen for the first time as close family member confirms she did NOT corroborate school friend Ford’s story to FBI
•Pictured in DailyMailTV exclusive photos for the first time since news Ford named her, Keyser showed the stress of being put into the national spotlight
•The close relative expressed anger at Ford’s suggestion that Keyser could not recall the party because of the ‘significant health challenges’
•The ‘health challenges’ have not impaired her memory but being caught up in the Kavanaugh scandal has proved physically trying

Speaking exclusively to DailyMailTV a family member close to Keyser, 52, said: ‘Christine didn’t give her so much as a heads up - as far as I know they haven’t really spoken for several years and they’re certainly not close anymore.
‘Leland was completely blindsided by her name being thrown into it all. The first thing she knew about it was when she woke up on Thursday morning and her name was just everywhere. It was crazy.’...
Keyser’s attorney, Howard J Walsh III, last night confirmed that his client has spoken with the FBI and that when she did so she could not corroborate Ford’s account...
But Keyser’s relative revealed the mother-of-two’s shock at being named as a witness by a woman to whom she has barely spoken in recent years.
And they expressed anger at Ford’s suggestion that Keyser could not recall the party because of the ‘significant health challenges’ she has faced in recent years...
The family member went on to explain that the ‘health challenges’ faced by Keyser have not impaired her memory...

Here is some speculation about Leland Keyser. There are only 2 possibilities. 1) She was all in on the scam and backed out at the last minute. 2)CFB thought Keyser would back her up since she was a gal pal. The link is part 4 of a series looking at Holton-Arms yearbooks.
