In a letter released last night from a former boyfriend of Christine Blasey-Ford, there was a name curiously not redacted. The name of Monica L McLean was revealed as a life-long friend who Ms. Ford helped with polygraph preparation. The media has begun to focus on the letter as outlining a lie told by Ms. Ford during recent congressional testimony… But the backstory to Ms. Monica Lee McLean is an even bigger story.

Christine Blasey Ford’s ex-boyfriend shared a written declaration Tuesday stating Ford never expressed a fear of flight — even while aboard a propeller plane — had no problem living in a tiny apartment with only one door and helped her best friend prepare for a potential polygraph test, despite claiming under oath she has done no such thing. Ford’s ex also said she cheated on him and charged his credit card for $600 of merchandise a year after they broke up. “When confronted, Dr. Ford said she did not use the card, but later admitted to the use after I...

In a letter released Tuesday and obtained by Fox News, an ex-boyfriend of Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, seemingly contradicts her testimony under oath last week that she had never helped anyone prepare for a polygraph examination. The former boyfriend, whose name was redacted, also said Ford neither mentioned Kavanaugh nor said she was a victim of sexual misconduct during the time they were dating from about 1992 to 1998. He said he saw Ford helping a woman he believed was her "life-long best friend" prepare for a potential polygraph test. He added...

According to a Tuesday hit piece in the “newspaper of record” (just kidding), President Trump participated in, let me quote, questionable and dubious tax strategies, in order to increase his already huge fortune. The NYT article claims that America’s first billionaire president engaged in outright fraud, thus accruing millions upon millions of dollars, hence increasing the great fortune he received from his father, or something along these lines.  The massive front page story was taken seriously by the NY Spate Department of Taxation and Finance, whose spokesman told CNBC that they’re reviewing the fraud allegations: “The New York State Tax...

A Former long-time boyfriend of Dr. Christine Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend on how to take a polygraph examination.

In a sworn statement provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee, a man who claims to be an ex-boyfriend of Christine Blasey Ford says that he personally witnessed Ford coach a friend on how to take a polygraph exam. If true, it would mean Ford provided false testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week when she claimed she had never had any discussions with anyone about how to take a polygraph. The troubling allegations about Ford’s polygraph history and potentially false testimony were revealed Tuesday in a letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, to...

...In the letter, which was submitted as a statement to the Committee under penalty of perjury, Ketterer says Swetnik told him in the 1990s that she enjoyed sex with multiple men at the same time.

Christine Ford has not turned over her therapist’s notes to the Senate regarding her suppressed memories about Judge Kavanaugh abusing her decades earlier.

There were also accusations that Christine Ford was under a hypnotic trance during her testimony.

Here’s the exchange and video via Newsbusters: DOBBS: The President hasn’t mentioned a word about Sgt. Tahmooressi held in a Mexican prison.
