A lawyer for a friend of Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, said in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that she does not refute Ford's allegation against Kavanaugh and will cooperate with the FBI in its investigation of the alleged assault.
Leland Ingham Keyser said through her lawyer, Howard Walsh, that she believes Ford's account, but she does not remember the alleged incident between Ford and Kavanaugh.
"Ms. Keyser does not refute Dr. Ford's account, and she has already told the press that she believes Dr. Ford's account," Walsh wrote in the letter to the committee, according to CNN.
"However, the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question," Walsh continued, adding that Keyser will "cooperate fully" with the FBI investigation into Ford's allegation.
Ford testified Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee that she attended a high school party with Keyser and several others, including Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, during which Ford says she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh in an upstairs bedroom. Kavanaugh has forcefully denied the allegations.
Keyser, Ford said, was unaware of the assault at the time.
"Oh no, she didn't know about the event," Ford told the committee, "She was downstairs during the event and I did not share it with her."
Keyser, Walsh wrote, felt the letter to the committee was necessary to clarify that she did believe the party to which Ford referred in her testimony had occurred.
A previous statement from Keyser's attorney claimed that 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.”
Ford's attorney, Debra Katz, previously said in a statement that it was not surprising that Keyser would not recall attending a party with Ford and Kavanaugh, as she was not informed about the assault at the time.
“It’s not surprising that Ms. Keyser has no recollection of the evening as they did not discuss it. It’s also unremarkable that Ms. Keyser does not remember attending a specific gathering 30 years ago at which nothing of consequence happened to her," Katz said.
President Trump announced Friday that he would direct the FBI to conduct a new weeklong investigation into Kavanaugh's background following a request from members of the Judiciary Committee.
“I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week,” Trump said in a statement from the White House.
Trump's order came after the Senate panel voted Friday to send Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote. Several Republican senators stated that they wanted an FBI investigation to conclude before they vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.
I have no recollection of the incident in question, because I wasn’t there at the time. Should I also be called as a witness? WTF.
“she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident”
Send her to Ford’s “therapist” and maybe then the memories will become seared in her mind.
It’s Lawyerese for “we’re scared poopless right now because you weren’t supposed to take us serious and now we’re trying to see how dumb you are.” LOL
Why does everyone suddenly need a lawyer?
I believe that aliens are stealing my luggage.
Let me offer a plausible translation here: The DNC has met Keyser’s 7 figure monetary demands and she is willing to lie now. I hope the FBI subpoenas her phone records.
Didn’t she also say she didn’t know Kavanaugh?
One of the things they need to ask her is who drove them to the country club each day and how did they get home
Ah ha.. Ingham didnt hear the boys ping ponging down the stairs laughing as Hizzy Fraud claims? Oh sure Ingham would't know what was going on. Who be lying?
The witness does not refute that I descended from the clouds to plant Earth and believes my account, despite not having witnessed it. Therefore, I did it.
It’s unreal the BS they are trying to pull. I said on day one they should have told her to go to hell. No evidence? No witnesses? No police report? No doctors exam? No rape actually occurred? Was she kissed? No. Did she say her boobs or butt where grabbed? No. Were her clothes actually removed? No. When did it happen? Almost 40 years ago when they were TEENAGERS!!!
GET THE F OUTTA HERE! That’s what they should have told her, but it seems the only Repubs that have gonads in Washington are Trump and Graham. The rest of them cower and hide and allow this crap to go on and on and on and on and on and this dingbat who in my personal opinion was high on heroin judging by the extreme vocal fry in her voice, is treated like the messiah of all sex assault victims.
Same old stuff....This is nothing new.
The Federal courts addressing the issue of hypnotically induced testimony of a prosecution witness have generally permitted the use of such testimony, holding that the fact of the hypnosis affects only the credibility of the witness and not the witness's competence or the admissibility of his or her testimony.Grassley should call for Christine Blasey Ford to under this ASAP. She'll crack long before being hypnotized.Read more at source: Department of Justice
“...but she does not remember the alleged incident between Ford and Kavanaugh.....”
Here we go again. There will be plenty more of these “non-witnesses”....standard RAT playbook.
So clever....not refuting but not corroborating.
Didn’t Ford say she had to walk past everyone to get out?
I also suppose she now has multiple Gofund Me accounts that will grow exponentially.
“Oh no, she didn’t know about the event,” Ford told the committee, “She was downstairs during the event and I did not share it with her.”
Does she remember the very loud music that played while Ford went to the bathroom that was suddenly shut off 2 minutes later?
Same old stuff....This is nothing new.

Exactly
Not refuting is the same as not corroborating....
Semantics being played here ...
