As the Senate Judiciary Committee staff negotiates with attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of a past sexual assault, over a potential hearing on Thursday, Republican staffers are working to interview those who may have information about the alleged incident.
CNN has learned that the committee has reached out to a longtime friend of Ford named Leland Ingham Keyser.
On Saturday night, her lawyer, Howard Walsh, released a statement to CNN and the Senate Judiciary Committee..
“Simply put,” Walsh said, “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.”
The lawyer acknowledged to CNN that Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford’s.
Keyser is the latest person alleged to be at the party to say she has no recollection of it.
“I understand that you have been identified as an individual who was in attendance at a party that occurred circa 1982 described in a recent Washington Post article,” a committee staffer wrote Keyser earlier this week.
Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegations, telling sources he was “flabbergasted” when he learned of them.
“This is a completely and totally false allegation,” he said after Ford came forward. “I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone.”
In addition, two others have issued statements.
“I have no memory of this alleged incident,” said Mark Judge in a September 18 letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said he did not recall the party and never saw Brett Kavanaugh act in the matter Ford describes.

And with the claims that “PGA golfers know about Ford”, Leland was a ..... professional golfer. In fact, her and Beckle were married at Columbia Country Club, where the house Ford was groped at was allegedly located.

Grassley is screwing up big time entertaining this woman’s accusation. The Senate is his world, all the other Senators are his people.
Has the FBI ever investigated a single Bill Clinton rape accusation?
WRONG PERSON.
Probably not. Were any of them Federal crimes?

I like the bit in the letter claiming medical treatment and omitting the bit about it being 30 years after the fact...:^)
You mean 4 liberals: Collins, Murkowski, Flake, Corker.
So far, this, from Wikipedia, states the nomination will expire at end of the session:
The Senate may also fail to act on the nomination, which expires at the end of the session. For example, President Dwight Eisenhower’s first nomination of John Marshall Harlan II in November 1954 was not acted on by the Senate; Eisenhower re-nominated Harlan in January 1955, and Harlan was confirmed two months later. Most recently, the Senate failed to act on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland in March 2016 to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia; the nomination expired in January 2017, and the vacancy was later filled by President Donald J. Trump’s appointment of Neil Gorsuch.[12]
I guess I’m not keeping up. I hadn’t read the posts debunking it.
Thank you. Perhaps the session could be extended. Ditch has already threatened to extend the Senate through October.
