Friend of Dr. Ford Felt Pressure to Revisit Statement
The Wall Street Journal ^ | October 5, 2018 | Natalie Andrews

Posted on 10/04/2018 10:46:10 PM PDT by Trump20162020

A friend of Christine Blasey Ford told FBI investigators that she felt pressured by Dr. Ford’s allies to revisit her initial statement that she knew nothing about an alleged sexual assault by a teenage Brett Kavanaugh, which she later updated to say that she believed but couldn’t corroborate Dr. Ford’s account, according to people familiar with the matter.

Leland Keyser, who Dr. Ford has said was present at the gathering where she was allegedly assaulted in the 1980s, told investigators that Monica McLean, a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a friend of Dr. Ford’s, had urged her to clarify her statement, the people said.

The name Monica McLean again.

I think someone needs to be investigated.

By the way, just to reiterate our observations and comments on another thread, this calls into question the veracity of another part of Dr. Ford's testimony that she didn't know how or who to get in touch with, or how to get an attorney, etc.

The FBI just talked to this woman and she still did not corroborate Ford. I cant read the whole aticle because of the pay wall.

Well I can read it so what does it say? I think it may be a rehash of an earlier CNN article regarding Keyser.

The bottom line is that she can NOT corroborate Ms. Ford’s story because she does not have the recollection of the party. In fact, none other than Ford can remember the party. This is significant because someone ought to remember something, or anything about it. These are all smart people, the high achievers.
It was a “soft pressure”, but a “pressure” still which forced her to make a few rounds of “clarifications”. But the bottom line remains.

Yup. Sessions is going down in infamy for what he has allowed to happen to the Republic.

Just a bunch of people who declined to comment and nothing totally new. But here is one paragraph.

A person close to the former classmates said it was her understanding that mutual friends of Dr. Ford and Ms. Keyser, including Ms. McLean, had contacted Ms. Keyser after her initial statement to warn her that her statement was being used by Republicans to rebut the allegation against Judge Kavanaugh. The friends told Ms. Keyser that if she had intended to say she didn’t remember the party—not that it had never happened—that she should clarify her statement, the person said, adding that the friends hadn’t “pressured” Ms. Keyser.
