FULL TITLE: BUSTED! GOP and Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell Knew Christine Ford COACHED FRIEND on Polygraph Before Hearing — THEN CAUGHT HER LYING DURING TESTIMONY

Social media was set ablaze Tuesday night after a former long-time boyfriend of Dr. Christine Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend named Monica McLean on how to take a polygraph examination.

This is in direct conflict with Christine Ford's testimony under oath to the the US Senate.

The boyfriend, who has since been identified as Brian Merrick, wrote the Judiciary Committee about the relationship:

- Ford never mentioned sexual assault
- Ford never mentioned Kavanaugh
- Ford not scared of confined spaces
- Ford not scared of flying
- Ford knew how to beat polygraph
- Ford cheated on him/committed fraud

Here is the letter to Grassley via Benny Johnson:

Now this...
On Saturday September 29, 2018, investigative journalist Paul Sperry tweeted out that the FBI had interviewed Christine Blasey Ford's ex-boyfriend Brian Merrick.


BREAKING: FBI to also interview Ford's ex-boyfriend Brian Merrick, Ford's ex-classmate Lisa Everett and Kavanaugh's best friend Donny Urgo, in addition to Mark Judge, among others

-- Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) September 30, 2018

This was on Saturday after the Thursday Ford testimony.

Fred Walton pointed out that the two dated in the 1990s.

What might these witnesses say ? Brian Merrick - ex boyfriend of Ford. The two dated for eight years apparently in the 1990s- he says she never mentioned incident to him. 1 https://t.co/XGhkwobDoV

-- fred walton (@fredwalton216) September 30, 2018

So this is likely the same boyfriend who wrote the letter to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley.

Brian Merrick was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal for their article on Christine Blasey Ford that was published on September 19th -- EIGHT DAYS before her testimony in the Judiciary hearing.

And on September 26th, the day before her testimony in Washington DC, the Malibu Times wrote about Ford's relationship with Brian Merrick.

Ford was a Malibu resident; she attended Pepperdine University in 1991 and received a master's degree in clinical psychology. She later taught at the university between 1995 and 1998.

During this time, she dated fellow Pepperdine student Brian Merrick, who is part of one of Malibu's founding families as the youngest son of the late Judge John Merrick.

The two dated for eight years, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. During their relationship, Merrick stated Ford had never mentioned the assault.

It now seeme likely that the Judiciary Committee KNEW that Christine Blasey Ford dated Brian Merrick and KNEW she coached a friend to take a polygraph test years earlier.

Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell knew this and walked Christine Ford into a nest of lies.
Via Charles Cooke at National Review:

"it seems clear that Rachel Mitchell knew some of this during last week's Senate hearing, because she asked Ford two extremely specific questions on the subject of polygraphs. They were:

MITCHELL: Had -- have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?

FORD: Never."

And:

MITCHELL: Have you ever had discussions with anyone, beside your attorneys, on how to take a polygraph?

FORD: Never.

Ford also told Mitchell that she was "scared" of the test, and "didn't expect it to be as long it was going to be."

Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell and the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee knew Ford lied about the polygraph tests.

Michell gave Christine Ford enough rope to hang herself... And she did.

Can we assume McCabe worked with polygraph examiner Hanafin?

Monica Mclean, retired FBI SSA and friend of Ford, gave @ABC this statement: “I have NEVER had Christine Blasey Ford, or anybody else, prepare me, or provide any other type of assistance whatsoever in connection with any polygraph exam I have taken at anytime.”

Well that settles it. This is a case of he-said/she-said from long ago where there is no evidence and the only other witness denies it happened. Nothing to go on, move on.

Oh wait. Where have I seen this exact sort of thing before? Hmmm....

The retired FBI polygraph guy:

https://heavy.com/news/2018/09/jeremiah-hanafin/ - Wife Tracy also FBI.

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=316834 - Jeremiah P. Jr. & his wife Tracy of Arlington, VA

https://www.intelius.com/people-search/Hanafin/Arlington-VA - Imagine that. Zero mention of FBI work for the entire bunch of them.

Who wants to bet McLean and polygraph guy know each other. Rehoboth Beach, DE and Arlington, VA are less than 3 hours drive. Less time in a claustrophobic plane.

Yes. Agree. But in this case it was primarily because McClean helped her write the letter! McClean, the ex-FBI agent, is probably complicit in this conspiracy to take Kavanaugh down. When Ford referred to advice from her “Beach friends” it probably was ex FBI agent McClean in Rehheboth DE, not some surfer airhead types in Malibu!

Same reason she cheated on her boyfriend and denied about using his credit card.

I'm guessing that boyfriend is not the only person she has cheated on, defrauded, or lied to during her life. I'm also guessing that a bunch of people are going to be questioned about her, and she will not be pleased with what they say.

Time to send in the agents at 3 am, drag her out of bed and give her the Manafort treatment? I have no pity as this broad lied hundreds of times to the committee under oath. The main clue was that she said she had only 1 beer yet didn’t know anything about the date, time and place. I say BS. She has been on the Soros payroll for 2 years and a leopard does not change spots.

I’ll bet the media is reading this letter all over the news today.

Stopped laughing long enough to share that multiple sources (e.g. USA Today, WaPo) are adopting Mitchell's summary interpretation as reasonable.

Those six extra days Ford’s attorneys needed to Get Ford to a hearing were used to prep her for he testimony.

Those additional six days were also used by Rachel Mitchell, too. She used them wisely.

A correction:

“Falsa in uno, falsa in omnibus”

Latin adjectives must agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify.

Good catch.
Thank you for the correction.

I just did a quick cut and paste and didn’t notice the different versions.
