When Ed introduced the lastest player in the Christine Blasey Ford saga last night, it seemed like bad news for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s detractors. The identity of the fourth person at the alleged party where Ford claims to have been assaulted turned out to be Leland Ingham Keyser, who describes herself as a “lifelong friend” of Ford’s. Unfortunately for Ford’s story, Keyser released a statement saying that she’s never met Kavanaugh and, like everyone else listed as party attendees, has no recollection of any such party.
There’s one element to this latest revelation which should be setting off some alarm bells. Ford has maintained from the beginning that there were four other people at the party that night. As Ed Morrissey correctly notes, we now have the full list. They include Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge (the sort-of accomplice), Patrick “PJ” Smyth and now Leland Ingham Keyser. But let’s recall how this whole affair began.
As revealed by both the Washington Post and the New York Times, Ford originally sent a letter to her Representative, Anna Eshoo. With the congresswoman’s help, the information was sent to one of her senators, Dianne Feinstein. After it was obvious her identity was going to go public, Ford additionally contacted the Washington Post on September 16th. In all of these documents and conversations, one thing was consistent. She claimed that in addition to Kavanaugh and Judge, there were two other boys at the party.
This “fact” was central to the development of the record of events. You’ll also recall that the letter from her therapist mistakenly claimed (according to the therapist) that they had incorrectly recorded Ford recounting being attacked by four boys. Ford herself accounted for that discrepancy by saying that four boys were at the party, but only two of them had followed her upstairs and assaulted her while the other two boys remained downstairs, unaware of what was taking place.
With more than thirty-five years having gone by, one might understandably forgive Ms. Ford if she couldn’t remember the identities of the other boys downstairs, particularly if they hadn’t kept in touch over the decades. Heck, I probably couldn’t name more than one out of five members of my high school senior class if you showed me their graduation pictures today. But Keyser doesn’t fall into that category. She was supposedly not only at the party, but stayed in touch, remaining friends with Ford for all of these years.
So how would Ford write a letter stating there were four boys at the party when one of the alleged partygoers was not only female but someone she’s known all her life?
Up until now, I’ve avoided any direct accusation of mendacity on the part of Christine Blasey Ford, though the incredibly convenient timing of the release of this information made it tempting. Of those people who have spoken to her, all describe her as being credible, professional and an upright citizen. I’ve pondered how her story could be squared with the blunt denials of Kavanaugh and Mike Judge, along with the lack of any memory of such an event by the other supposed attendees. Given all the time that’s passed, I wondered if perhaps Ford had actually been to such a party and suffered an assault, but it was with someone else and her mind was just filling in a blank with Kavanaugh’s name. Such things can certainly happen as we get older and our memories become less reliable. (Trust me on that one.)
But now? The idea that one of the “other two boys” turned out to be not only a woman, but someone Ford has known all her life is a bit much to swallow. This story is starting to stink on ice.
You beat me to it. I posted that exact theory on another thread earlier today. LOL.
Washington post said four boys after they knew Leland was one of the people Ford said was there.
Leland might have been contacting by WaPo early on. Remember, they had the story and refused to run it early on.
...it’s called selective memory.
Since they took over the #metoo
movement they forget that 52 of the
initial 55 creeps were liberals and
Demonrats...
The WaPo had two motives to intentionally misreport the story, turning one boy into a girl.
1. The optics of four boys and one girl at a party is very bad for the girl, especially if she's going to make a claim of sexual assault. They needed to balance the attendance to three boys and two girls to make it "dates" and a friend.2. The boy who was turned into a girl has to be the teen who lives at the house. He likely invited three friends over, and one of them brought a girl he just met. The girl that the WaPo placed at the party denies being at a party with Kavanaugh. She wasn't there because the WaPo replaced the boy resident with a girl who knew Ford.
It seems credible to me that the WaPo is covering up the one piece of information that would unravel this whole plot, namely the person who lived at the house. Naming that person puts a location to the event, which then opens up the rest to specific questions.
The WaPo turned the boy into a girl to protect the scheme against Kavanaugh from unraveling with the only investigable fact. When all the named people say they weren't there, all are claiming that it wasn't their house.
So whose house was it?

How many times do I have to tell you ? Those girls fromHolton Arms were not welcome at the Catholic school parties and now you know why.
It sounds like a good theory to me. Leland sounds like a boy’s name.
Bingo! And we have a winner!
See "Total Recall," "Inception," and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
In short, she is one disturbed woman.
Isnt it odd how little details can crack an entire story?
Like a tiny rock shatters a windshield
Falling apart? Hardly. Today, their storyline is that the lack of evidence is solid evidence it really happened. We are in War Is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength territory now.
That’s just how she rolls, man. Dates, times, locations, names and faces? It’s all a crapshoot with her type. And those blurry 65 lovers by the time she was in college, they didn’t mean anything. A few sessions of therapy and...oops!
Leland was a pro lady golfer - PGA
Remember that Attorney Joe DiGenova hinted that there were stories about Christine among PGA sources
Good question.
Taking that a step further, why didn't she call her old friend to at least confirm the friend remembered the 36 year old incident before writing the letter to avoid looking like a political vindictive fool?
Just read that response. Yep.
If Flake flakes he will be done for also for a future run.
Starting? Anybody with half a nose noticed the putridity immediately.
That’s an interesting idea. It may well be correct.
“Why wouldn’t she call the friend and get her story straight before sending the letter?”
My question, which I have not seen asked, is say this accounts for all the folks at the party, whose bloody house were they at? One would assume one of the partyers lived there and that it wasn’t a random home they came across.
If it was a party with 50 kids, I can see not knowing who was throwing the party maybe, but 4-5 kids, someone had to set things up.
“Because it wasnt her that wrote the letter or did the contacting
It was someone who thought “Leyland” was a boy.”
Bingo!
I was thinking about this last night, and her friend would’ve remembered if Ford suddenly disappeared during a party. She definitely would’ve called Ford the next day to find out why she had left the party.
