Ford;s Friend Leland Keyser Reaffirms That She 'Does Not Know Mr. Kavanaugh' During FBI Interview
IJR ^ | 10/2/2018 3:00 p.m. | Madison Dibble

The FBI has already begun its supplemental investigation into the allegations of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, including an interview with Leland Keyser.

Keyser was a friend of Kavanaugh's original accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Dr. Ford claimed that she attended a party with Keyser and a few boys, including Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge, where the alleged attack took place.

Although Dr. Ford testified that Keyser attended the party, Keyser stated in an email to the Senate Judiciary Committee that she does not remember any party like the one described.

As part of the deal struck by Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and others, the FBI was called by President Donald Trump to further investigate the claims made by Ford and others. The investigation is set to include interviews of any alleged witnesses.

In the new investigation, the FBI sat down with Keyser and her attorneys to further discuss the allegations.

According to the Washington Times, Keyser's attorney stated that she issued the exact same statement to the FBI that she had emailed to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford," Keyser's attorney Howard J. Walsh III said.

Walsh also explained that Keyser cooperated fully with the investigation, but that she did not know of any event that occurred as Ford explained.

"Ms. Keyser asked that I communicate to the Committee her willingness to cooperate fully with the FBI's supplemental investigation of Dr. Christine Ford's allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. However, as my client has already made clear, she does not know Judge Kavanaugh and has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford."

During her testimony, Ford said that Keyser's "health challenges" were the reason why she may not recall the event. Watch:

"Leland has significant health challenges, and I'm happy that she's focusing on herself and getting the health treatment that she needs, and she let me know that she needed her lawyer to take care of this for her, and she texted me right afterward with an apology and good wishes, and et cetera, So I'm glad that she's taking care of herself. I don't expect that P.J. and Leland would remember this evening. It was a very unremarkable party. It was not one of their more notorious parties, because nothing remarkable happened to them that evening. They were downstairs."

Either way, it does not look as though the FBI gathered anything new from Keyser's perspective because she doesn't remember an event like the one explained by Dr. Ford.

I heard from Harry Reid’s friend that the FBI wants to interview the ice from the bar, but it seems it just melted away.......

And of course, CBF didn't breathe a word of what happened to her dear BFF the next time she saw her at school. Yeah, right ...

Uh, let’s see that apology and why are you accusing your friend of being mentally handicapped in some way?

Sad she got pull into this. Wonder how her lawyer’s fees cover? I had an opportunity to work in the White House under Clinton.

I avoided the assignment because of the drama at the Whitehouse. The IT people at the time were call to testify in front of congress. Wonder who paid their Lawyer’s fees?

This was a prize assignment, the best decision I made in my life.

What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. I think Flake should be sent the bill.

According to Rush this is Bob Beckel's (formerly of Fox) ex wife.

When they were getting divorced he stole her checkbook and wrote a cbeck to a hooker that was younger than his daughter.

Ford’s story continues to fall apart because there are ZERO witnesses who can collaborate it, which is why the Senate/MSM has had to try to go after Kavanaugh’s college days, “bad temperament”, other “anonymous” stories of sexual misconduct, etc.

The fact that he didn’t just quietly resign, or that President Trump didn’t pull his nomination as soon as the original WaPo story broke on September 16th has them all in a tizzy. They are actually being asked to PROVE their salacious charges and they have no idea how to handle that. No one has ever had the guts to call out their lies and smears before!!

Just hold the vote McConnell - make ALL of them go on the record!!

She probably wishes that she never heard of Ford . . .

Nothing is going to change because it never happened. The democrats set this up and the media pushed it and it still failed. Take the darn vote already. As an aside can anyone besides Kavanaugh press charges against Ford?

Need to set her up to determine if she knowingly lied, like accuser #3.

If so, PROSECUTE as an example for others.

It’s a crime to lie to Congress.
