This Sentence From Grassley's Latest Letter to Ford's Attorneys Suggests Huge Discovery About Contact With Dems

In a letter to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley asked for records and descriptions of any communications with senators or their staffs. But he didn’t stop there. Grassley specifically named Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Mazie Hirono “in light of recently uncovered information.”

"I urge you once again, now for the third time in writing, to turn over the therapy notes, polygraph materials, and communications with The Washington Post that Dr. Ford has relied upon as evidence," he wrote in the Oct. 4 letter to Ford’s attorneys Debra Katz, Michael Bromwich, and Lisa Banks.

“In addition to the evidence I requested in my October 2 letter,” he continued, “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 hearings; (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."

A NEW TWIST

Just-released Grassley letter to Ford ends on an ominous & mysterious note: “In light of recently uncovered information, please turn over” all communications with Feinstein & Hirono.
This is huge.
May be why GOP began growing a spine.
They have something big on Dems

9:57 PM - Oct 4, 2018

Grassley did not expand on what he meant by “recently uncovered information,” and the FBI’s supplementary background investigation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh has not been released in full (Grassley’s staff did publish an executive summary you can read here ).

Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, remains a top suspect for Republicans, despite her denial that neither she nor any one of her staffers leaked the letter and her explanation that she did not inform her colleagues -- including Grassley -- of its existence in order to protect the woman's identity. Notably, Ryan Grim, the reporter for the Intercept who first exposed the letter's existence, said on Twitter that he did not get it from Feinstein's staff. […]

Ford testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week that Feinstein’s office recommended the law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks, LLP, before she went public with her allegation of an early-1980s assault. Two members of the firm Feinstein’s office recommended, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, represent Ford. Her third attorney, Michael Bromwich, also represents fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Hirono, who hails from Hawaii, has been one of Ford's strongest supporters and Kavanaugh's most vocal critics. It's unclear why she was included in Grassley's letter Thursday, but over the weekend she failed to directly answer a question about whether she was "confidant" that Democrats didn't leak the letter. "All of these things do not focus on what we should be focusing on, which is the credibility of Judge Kavanaugh," was her reply. ( Washington Examiner )

On "Fox and Friends" Friday morning Grassley alluded to uncovered information, which he said was in the confidential FBI report, as another example of "headquarters for the resistance being right here on Capitol Hill."

This is what I think Collins is going to talk about. How it floored her discovering this while reading it in the SCIF and how appalled she is at the actions of her demonrat colleagues.

It was all there in the WSJ story about Monica McLean pressuring Leland Keyser, too, there was a sophisticated network of “friends” that were working with the democrat senators and at least the Washington Post (maybe the Times, too) on the public smear campaign and the former FBI agent, McLean, was the ringleader.

It occurs to me that the Rats will get a lot more information than they ever bargained for at Ford’s trial. And NO, I will not call her a “doctor”, EVER. I AM an MD and never use the honorific.

I am no “Qtard” but recent news ON THE RECORD about the DNC being the source of #FusionCollusion is pretty big IMHO.

I don’t believe for a second that anything will be turned over to Grassley. Also, I don’t believe for a second that anything of consequence will happen to any of the lawyers or Congress Rats.

No high ranking democrat or resistance member will ever be indicted. My evidence, Hillary, Bill, lynch Obama all members of coup attempt and resistance. Feinstein and Schiff congressional auxiliary members of the resistance. Feinstien withheld evidence and no one is saying word.
