How Did Christine Ford Not Remember Her “Lifelong Friend” In Her Letter?
HotAir ^ | September 23, 2018 | Jazz Shaw

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.

Sounds like a CIA/Russian connection. Is Brennan involved in this? Is it true CBF's Papa is CIA? Is it true CBF is associated with the CIA at Stanford?

There is no letter. No one has seen it.

If the 2 boys in the bedroom were hammered drunk and scared her, that left only Leland or her boyfriend PJ to take Christine home

Because it was all lies. Because she’d already shopped around for a girlfriend who’d back her story and found none.

Big glaring question is why did she tell her husband it was 4 boys? Why did she tell the marriage therapist it was 4 boys? Why did her letter supposedly state 4 boys? Why have the Senators being running their mouths about 4 boys? Why did the WaPo print her story time and time again about 4 boys when they knew there was a girl? Why does the girl, surprise, have a boy’s name, hmmmm? Did she shop around for a girl with a boy’s name and for what reason? This thing has the distinct smell of Russia, Russia, Russia V.2 and in the works for a long time but not to have ironed out the details.

Because Chrissy is cray cray and an easy mark by the swamp creatures.

This will be the end of that lifelong friendship.

No, not really. Although she doesn’t remember the party and does not know Kavanaugh, she BELIEVES HER FRIEND. Another vague memory that cannot be proved,

She cant keep her lies straight. Most people cant. Bill Clinton was a master liar. He perfected the art. This Ford bitch is a piker. She cant remember her lies from one day to the next.

Chuck Assley has this nomination process FUBAR.

Even Clinton could not keep his lies straight, he told way too many of them.

Why wouldn’t she call the friend and get her story straight before sending the letter?.....The Marxists figured the Repubs would throw Brett under the bus and walk away.....They forgot about Trump.

Exactly! Someone making up the story thought Leland was a boy.

She couldn’t remember which year, but knew that she was 15 at the time. Subtraction facts, anyone?

Aside from the obvious inconsistencies that make her story not credible, there’s the fact that this alleged incident happened 37 years ago and is past the statute of limitations.

Not to mention, that she claims that he was 17 when it happened and therefore, he would be considered a youthful offender and any record of crimes of his that he allegedly committed, would be sealed for life.
