Full Title: Grassley asks Ford's legal team for records of contacts with Feinstein and Hirono 'in light of recently uncovered information'

"In addition to the evidence I requested in my October 2 letter," Grassley continued in his letter, "in light of recently uncovered information, please turn over records and descriptions of direct or indirect communications between Dr. Ford or her representatives and any of the following: (1) U.S. Senators or their staffs, particularly the offices of Senators Feinstein and Hirono, other than your communications with me and my staff in preparation for the September 27 hearing; (2) the alleged witnesses identified by Dr. Ford (Leland Keyser, Mark Judge, and Patrick “P.J.” Smyth); and (3) Debbie Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, or their representatives."

You don't even have to read between the lines of that letter to see that something big is going down here.

The mention of two Democrat senators by name -- Feinstein and Hirohito -- is very telling.

GATEWAY PUNDIT REPORTS:

Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley demanded that attorneys for Ford turn over her therapist notes and other key materials, and suggested she was intentionally less than truthful about her experience with polygraph examinations during Thursday's dramatic Senate hearing. "Your continued withholding of material evidence despite multiple requests is unacceptable as the Senate exercises its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent for a judicial nomination," Grassley wrote.

<><> Monica McLean vouched for Christine Ford’s honesty in a letter to Congress on September 17th;

<><> Court records show Monica McLean was an FBI agent in 2000;

<><> McLean is now being named as a person who can prove Ford lied under oath.

REALITY CHECK If McLean remains an agent, and she did not come forward with evidence that Ford perjured herself re: the polygraph, then McLean’s security clearance will be revoked immediately, as she had a legal duty to do so.

I thought McLean retired in 2016, oddly, just as Trump was elected.

Lots of conflicting stories out there-——all of them to protect the stupid Democrats’ conniving.

Ms. McLean’s lawyer, David Laufman, said in a statement: “Any notion or claim that Ms. McLean pressured Leland Keyser to alter Ms. Keyser’s account of what she recalled concerning the alleged incident between Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh is absolutely false.”

DOJ National Security Division Official, David Laufman, Quits…
Posted on February 8, 2018

David Laufman was the Department of Justice, National Security Division, Deputy Asst. Attorney General in charge of counterintelligence, cyber security, counterespionage and export controls.

As most people are now aware the epicenter of the DOJ/FBI Clinton-Steele operation against candidate Trump stemmed from a collaborate “small group” effort of Main Justice officials within the National Security Division (John P Carlin – head), and officials within the FBI centered around the Counterintelligence Division (Bill Priestap – head).

(snip)

In his former position, Laufman would have been involved and hold knowledge of the FISA “Title-1” surveillance program initiated on target Carter Page and the “incidental” Trump campaign officials. Laufman would also have close contact with former Asst. Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr; husband of Fusion GPS employee Nellie Ohr.

David Laufman also participated in the July 2nd 2016 interview of Hillary Clinton:

If I remember hearing correctly, Feinstein (or her team) referred Ford to her lawyers.

but wait there’s more....

“Leland Keyser was pressured to change her testimony exonerating Kavanaugh
- Pressure came from former FBI agent who is good [beach] friends with Dr. Ford
- White House/Senate now have copies of the private messages”

Yeah sure.....but is he willing to say that on a lie detector test?

Yep, resllllllly big, huuuuuugh. Why it is that same old pesky FBI again and the deep state who colluded with the Dems and created the fictitious Russian dossier.

Now look, the retirees colluded with the Dems to create fictitious rape stories. And EVEN worse, drinking stories.

Oh man are they in trouble. They are going down hard the way Hilary did for eviscerating national security, and all those FBI rats that have been breaking all the laws and have been tried and jailed.

I’m sorry, I must have blacked out again. I was momentarily in my alternate universe where we didn’t have a traitor as head of Justice.

I’m off again to japan to study more Kabuki.

The “therapists notes” are more likely a script written for the actor and won’t be produced. I think this whole thing was manufactured and Ford was recruited to act it out. They recruited someone and coaxed them into committing a felony. That is the level of depravity that we have in DC.

Ford -> McClean -> Brahara -> Schumer -> Feinstein

yessss....

...In addition to the evidence I requested in my October 2 letter, in light of recently uncovered information,

please turn over records and descriptions of direct or indirect communications between Dr. Ford or her representatives and any of the following<\b>:

(1) U.S. Senators or their staffs, particularly the offices of Senators Feinstein and Hirono, other than your communications with me and my staff in preparation for the September 27 hearing;

(2) the alleged witnesses identified by Dr. Ford (Leland Keyser, Mark Judge, and Patrick “P.J.” Smyth); and

(3) Debbie Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, or their representatives.

Does the additional information include emails and text messages?

Watergate's "What did they know and when did they know it?" the double edge sword.

She’s radical enough that going more radical will have no real effect...keeping their numbers down is the key...we need to work (and spend) hard to try to build good majorities in both Houses and try to replace RINOs with conservatives whenever possible.

“Unless the Justice Department gets involved “

You can’t be serious. This entire farce has been part of the resistance. The Russia witch hunt, Soros’ nefarious war on America, the coordinated MSM lies and intimidation, Kavanaughgate, Obama, Clinton all are protected and given a free pass by that stooge Sessions.
If justice isn’t served by mean and threatening congressional letters justice won’t be served.

“...whole thing manufactured and Ford was recruited to act it out...”

That is exactly what happened. They wrote a script for Ford based on Mark Judge’s book and Kavanaugh’s yearbook and then coached fffffffFord to act it out.

This was completely made up from the get go - just like the dossier.

What happens if they ignore the subpoenas? Liberals seem to do so without serious consequences.

I might also question if Feinstein is still around in January....her race in California is getting some heat.

I have to bet that a lot of Republicans and Independents are going to vote ANYONE BUT CHINE-STEIN this time rather than the usual thought that one Dem or the other doesn't matter, so why bother voting. It's become a question of the survival of the rule of law.

(Who polls Republicans about which Democrat they're going to vote for? This could be a landslide for the challenger.)
