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 difference between the Clarence Thomas hearings and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings is that the Dems had no second or third accusers with Thomas. They lost that one, and probably realized with Kavanaugh, that in order to get him to withdraw, or destroy his nomination, they would need more than one accuser. Strength in numbers. Then when the realized the extra bimbos wasn’t working, they went down another road: drinking, blackouts, passing out...etc.

Monica McLean’s internet history was also scrubbed from July 8 back to 2009. They could not scrub the wine-tasting photo because it belonged to the newspaper.9

"Witness tampering"

In a way, yes...because Kayser had signed a statement that if false, could lead to possible perjury charges. No different than sitting in the witness box, and taking the oath to tell the truth. The fact that after talking with McLean, she felt compelled to "clarify" her statement tells me that the call bothered her, which it was meant to do.

It’s all so ludicrous.

So per the story, 15-year old Chrissie and Leland are at a house with four 17-year old boys drinking beer.

Two of the boys shove Chrissie into an upstairs bedroom where one tries to rape and inadvertently kill her.

Chrissie ends up running out of the house and never returns to the party.

She says it is not surprising that Leland would not remember the party because nothing remarkable happened to Leland.

But if all that is true, what would someone in Leland’s place do? Hearing the front door slam as her friend runs out.

She would go to the front door and look out. What happened to Chrissie? Tell the boys her friend Chrissie disappeared. They would look around the front yard. Where did she go? Walk up and down the street a ways. Ask people outside if they saw a teen-age girl walk by.

After a while, check with the neighbors. Did they see her friend Chrissie? And after an hour or so probably start calling Chrissie’s house to see if she went home.

If they never found her, the next day Leland would certainly have given Chrissie a piece of her mind for running out like that.

This is all so phony, it’s unbelievable.

The same people probably orchestrated that shameful takedown.

You are correct. Ricki Seidman is on audio for the American Constitution Society on July 10th talking about a strategy that will emerge derailing Kvanaughs confirmation. Then you can google Ricki Seidman. It starts about 22.57 at about 25.37 is where she talks about a strategy. I think this is what we are seeing now.

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:

Yes, I think they were texts.

From the other thread on the supplemental FBI report, yet another glaring LIE by Blasey Ford:

“...When questioned about Keyser’s statement at last Thursday’s hearing, Ford suggested Keyser was having serious medical issues and had apologized for her denial.”

OMG.

I’m glad that Graham finally reacted to Democrats with disgust. What took Republicans so long to finally see them for what they are?
