Leland Keyser, a friend of Christine Blasey Ford who Ford claimed was at the party where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh, has not only refuted the accuser’s version of the story, but told FBI investigators that Ford’s “allies” tried to pressure her to change the original version.
“Simply put, 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,” her lawyer stated under penalty of felony.
In retaliation, Ford attacked Keyser – and said she wouldn’t go along with the Ford fairytale because “she has health issues and needs to take care of herself.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, Keyser informed investigators that Ford’s friend, former FBI agent Monica McLean, had pressured her to change the original statement.

Then there’s this mind-blowing statement from the WSJ – Keyser’s claim of being pressured to change her story offered “a glimpse into how Dr. Ford’s allies were working behind the scenes to lobby old classmates to bolster their versions of the alleged incident.”
‘Their versions’ of the incident. Not the truth, their version of the truth which is by definition, not the actual truth.
McLean’s lawyer said the allegation was “absolutely false,” but according to the report, the FBI has passed along text messages from McLean to Keyser to the White House and Senate.
And whaddya know!
The FBI obtained text messages from MONICA McLEAN, Ford beach friend and former press agent of Schumer right-hand Preet Bharara, to LELAND KEYSER.
The texts asked Keyser to “clarify” away her statement that she never met Kavanaugh!https://t.co/o1bELmPsYH

If the name Monica McLean sounds familiar, you may recall she was part of another falsehood that came out of Ford’s testimony. Under questioning by sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, Ford claimed she had never offered tips on how to pass a polygraph.
An ex-boyfriend of Ford, however, claimed she’d helped a friend prepare for a polygraph exam once upon a time. That friend was McLean. McLean the FBI agent.

An executive summary of the seventh and hopefully final FBI investigation, which included an interview with Keyser, concluded: “There is no corroboration of the allegations made by Dr. Ford or Ms. Ramirez.”
Even after doing their best to intimidate witnesses? Wow, it really must have been a poorly coordinated smear campaign if that is the case.
Some of the key takeaways from the summary involve just how thorough this seventh investigation into Kavanaugh was.
“In the course of its investigation, the FBI decided to reach out to eleven people, ten of whom agreed to be interviewed,” a statement reads.
“The FBI reached out to all witnesses with potential firsthand knowledge of the allegations,” it continued. “The FBI provided to the Senate 12 detailed FD-302 reports summarizing their interviews.”
- 11 people, 10 who complied.
- All witnesses with firsthand knowledge.
- Detailed reports.
Now contrast that with what Democrats have been saying about the investigation.
Sen. Tim Kaine claimed, “the whole thing is a sham.” Senator Jeff Merkley stated the report was “designed to provide cover, not to provide the truth.” Senator Bob Menendez said it was a “bulls*** investigation.”
Who’s telling the truth? The executive summary seems to be bolstering what Republicans have said all along, while it makes Democrats look like petulant, bitter liars.

Personally and professionally, I’m “all-in” with the results of our FBI’s “review” of this fiasco. The whole complaint was a political sham. Nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunately Feinstein will continue to occupy her position in congress, Shumer will continue to represent those idiots who bought and paid for his sorry, lying, controversial arse and the rest of those on the left, and the other flakes of the country who voted against this fine Judge Kavanaugh and/or allowed this whole process to proceed beyond the point of absurdity sold our republic out. They exposed themselves for who they truly are… partisan servants, nothing more. They’re not representing us, the people. They’re representing themselves, their power, their party, those who are financing them and their families. They’re certainly not representing us! To hell with career politicos. It’s well past the time to invoke TERM LIMITS for all elected officials! 12 years maximum in any of the two legislative positions… Senator or Representative (or any combination of each position). No more that 12 yrs., absolutely no blue ribbon-lifetime health care (they can use what we use), a severance check not to exceed $1,200.00 (before taxes), a letter thanking them for their service and a $35.00 wall plaque, tie tack or lapel pin (if warranted). Absolutely nothing more from our government’s funds.
Today I am enjoying the victory! The demon-rats went a “bridge too far”. No surprise that they would use whatever means to destroy Judge K.
Backfired big time.
It should be further noted that McLean has the same lawyer as disgraced former FBI official Andrew McCabe. The so call;ed “resistance” is strong and deep. No Deep State attacking Trump — sure. The coordinated attack on Judge K was instigated by Senator Crimestein and the allies on the radical left. Get Trump activists are salted throughout our government and using our tax dollars to try to overturn a legal election.
Tis FBI agent was willing to intimidate a witness and enable Dr. Fords’ perjury about not assisting another person to pass a polygraph. A complete Grand jury probe of the activities surrounding this sorted and disgusting incident needs to be started. Write your Senators and representatives. DOXXing and threatening Senators children was a tactic used by the arrested and charged Jackson Cosko. Another resistance member. The Communist Party has nothing on the radical Democrats when it comes to personal smears and attacks. Vote and get ten friends to vote in November.
Ford has been fully exposed as a liar and scam artist. Her HS yearbook showed she was a party animal and an “easy” woman to be with (you get my drift). If I were soon to be Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh I’d file slander charges against her.
How did the FBI become so corrupt in 8 years or has it always been so?
Pressure to make witnesses change their stories?
Criminal.
Not sure she is a current employee of the FBI. she was involved in the “GET” Trump activities currently being investigated. This woman is a dedicated radical and a smear on every HONEST FBI agent now working.
There has been a lot of talk of how Judge Cavanaugh will never be the same, that he has been ruined for life. I do not believe that is true. Judge Cavanaugh appears to be a very strong and faithful individual. I believe he and his family will eventually come to accept this event as only a faded memory in their lives. He will continue on to fulfill his destiny of becoming a Supreme Court Judge, for the rest of his life. I believe he will never forget this, but it is his nature to concentrate on positive things in life and not to dwell on the negative events.
I agree with you. If Kavanaugh had submitted to the iron will of the one party advocates of the insane DNC and their goons our entire democratic republic would be in even graver risk at the mercy of fascist globalists. Please excise the redundancy of globalist fascists
The problem with this has been the lying Demonrats all along. They are plain down right EVIL.
While this attack was from the beginning an orchestrated frontal assault on Kavanaugh and Trump. Why in the hell is the republicans not opening an investigation into all the accusers and prosecute them to the full extent of the law. However which branch of our DOJ can they use that can be trusted?
What a bunch of lying losers. How dare you HOW DARE YOU. This is a very serious problem for women that you are all cashing in on to get your own way All because you ARE still crying because TRUMP. I s our president, just goes to show what lengths a Democrat will go. People will never believe any women now, they will get the answer. Are you trying to Blasey-Ford me ?you miserable low lifes. I hope someday this happens to you and see what it feels like.
It is really troubling to think about what the democrats have been trying to do without any conscience at all… I believe that all the democrats know that the charges were false, but didn’t give a damn. all they wanted was to stop Trump’s nominee,. Like Corey Booker said (paraphrasing) “At this point is really dosen’t matter if Kavanaugh is guilty or innocent. but the allegations that were brought against should dis-qualify him, and we should move on to another nominee.” Now That is really sad.
This lying biotch has a smirk on her face that needs to be wiped off with a good length of time in jail with all her inconsistency’s while under oath.
I can only hope and pray that Dianne Feinstein will be investigated for her part in this lie! What these democrats have done to Brett Kavanaugh is horrible to say the least. Do not see how the democrats sleep at night, unbelievable!
Hannah…….LIE ….The two doors is because they previously rented out some space in their home and a private entrance was installed. Also, the same space was used as a counseling business. LIE…claustrophobic…..she had no objection to living in a 500 s.f. house or flying in a small prop plane. LIE…..fear of flying…..she flew everywhere. This lie was propagated by her and/or her attorneys so more time could be lost for the confirmation vote. She was in Delaware the entire time. LIE….polygraph….she stated she NEVER helped anyone fake a polygraph, but her boyfriend watched her coach her friend who was interviewing for a job. LIE…she co-authored a paper on retrieving memories to help with depression. And on and on.
My thought is, Ford is a activist ringer…her history, politic and contradiction of testimony add up to prepared to mislead and lie….This inept tactic by the DNCommunist to create indecisiveness, force allegation as truth and bypass presumption of innocence on behalf of the accused has now become a political foot shoot for the DIMMs and a rallying of the Deplorable Dregs…..these socialist dimmwits and their thuggery need a good butt whacking with a holie paddle on their barerass……
“Who’s telling the truth? The executive summary seems to be bolstering what Republicans have said all along, while it makes Democrats look like petulant, bitter liars.”
Well, Democrats ARE petulant bitter liars! Interesting that they tried to put pressure on witnesses to change their stories to corroborate Ford’s version of events. Guess if they’re gonna use the RENT-A-SKANK tactic on EVERY Conservative candidate for ANYTHING, they had better get witnesses lined up that will at least agree with the tale the RENT-A-SKANK is trying to tell, huh?
DIMMs…..aka…Delusional, Inept, Mean Mouthed suckers……
I think more things will continue to come out about Dr. Ford. Too much of her testimony didn’t seem credible to me. The two doors in her house because she is claustrophobic? Her old boyfriend said that she was not and clearly she flew everywhere. Maybe she rents out part of her house and has a second door for that purpose and why she was so vague on members of the Senate coming to her to interview. Her appearance during her testimony just didn’t ring true.
Hannah, if the conniving Commucrats are going to continue using this RENT-A-SKANK BS to try to eliminate EVERY Conservative candidate for ANYTHING from consideration, they’d better start hiring a better, more credible class of RENT-A-SKANK than this amnesiac, LYING “professor,” and the OTHER TWO they added for good measure, which were even WORSE and LESS credible than she was!
Just goes to show that if a Conservative guy is accused by a RENT-A-SKANK and he is not guilty, he should NOT give in to this BS and slink away–you see how their little scheme fell apart when Kavanaugh refused to withdraw, and Pres. Trump refused to withdraw his nomination? Just the ACCUSATION has always been enough to get the job done before–and when the candidate didn’t just fold and slink away, the danged COMMUCRATS had NO IDEA what to do, and their whole RENT-A-SKANK show just FELL APART, and this BS tactic–which they have used REPEATEDLY to derail Conservative candidates–was exposed to the entire COUNTRY for the conniving BS it really is! That’s going to make it REALLY HARD for them to USE this BS tactic in the future!
They NEVER expected Ford would have to testify, and therefore THEY and SHE were TOTALLY UNPREPARED for THAT contingency! They TRIED with a lot of smoke and mirrors, LOUD protesters and OTHER BS to make a 3-ring circus out of the “investigation” into these allegations to cover the fact that they really had NOTHING–not even any EVIDENCE, much less PROOF of Ford’s allegations! Even her OWN WITNESSES would not verify what she said–DESPITE pressure put on those witnesses from the CONNIVING Commucrats to back her story, according to the report from the FBI investigation THEY demanded! No WONDER they are whining about the investigation!
Demanding that LAST FBI investigation was just a face-saving tactic and DESPERATION move to delay the confirmation vote, in hopes that SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE would blurt out something they could fixate on and exploit, or that the pressure they are putting on wishy-washy RINOS like Susan Collins, Mazurski and Flake will cause them to withdraw their vote for Kavanaugh. Of COURSE now they’re claiming it wasn’t thorough enough. But we already KNEW they’d do that, didn’t we?
We voters need to make sure we INCREASE the Republican majority in BOTH houses of Congress, so every vote is not by such a RAZOR-THIN margin that the conniving COMMUCRATS can obstruct, just by knocking off a few outliers like FLAKE on every vote, which will put a stop to a LOT of this BS. If the margin is large enough that they can’t POSSIBLY sway the vote, there will be no POINT to the Commucrat ASSES in Congress to staging these dog and pony spectacles over EVERY issue that comes before Congress!
Very well stated. Thank you!!
Absolutely disgusting, but not the least bit surprising. They should all be tried and put in prison.
Prosecute Ford to the fullest extent of the law with her co-conspirators! Enough of these liberal fibbers destroying good peoples lives!
I just want to see Lisa Murkowski get primaried again…..just like she was in her last election when she lost the GOP nomination to Joe Miller…. a Tea Party guy…..and then the GOP Establishment led by the likes of Karl Rove threw in millions and ran her as a Write In candidate and she stayed in office that way.
Alaska…starting today, raise the money and get Joe Miller back in play. I’ll send you some money!
A solid constitutionalist as a Judge on the SCOTUS means decades of protections for the Constitution as written. Congress, the Senate and the POTHUS change every 2-4 years.
If the left can stop Kavanaugh, then get control, they can undo the 2nd amendment, with the 1st right behind. Anyone who thinks that this is NOT the goal need ONLY to try and attend any rally where a conservative is scheduled to speak. They get shouted down, attacked and often chased away. That IS the leftist goal, and this nomination IS the key. More important that the Presidency, the Congress, or the Senate. Which is WHY the leftists will go to ANY extreme to prevail!!!! We ALL must VOTE during this mid terms, the MOST important in the history of this nation. Wrong results will mean a loss of many of our freedoms.
Not surprising. The DemonRats swore they would do whatever it takes to block this nomination. They don’t care if they commit perjury, break Senate committee rules or ruin a decent man’s life, professional and family. That they would tamper with witnesses does NOT surprise me at all.
McLean should know “Subornation of Perjury” is a Felony. It’s time the Inspector General, took a look at this allegation.
You mean Inspector General Michael Horowitz who investigated the H Clinton FBI email investigation and gave them all a slap on the wrist? That Inspector General? Don’t expect we’ll get much satisfaction there #DCcrime collaborators
Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page and others in the FBI, so far unnamed, had attempted to conduct what can only be construed as a secret coup d’etat against President Trump. Now we learn that another FBI agent, Ford’s high school classmate, and post-college roommate for many years is involved. Everyone presumed that the grandmother was buried in Delaware, when Ford was there in Delaware, taking that time of all time to write her letter to Feinstein. Yet, the story of the funeral which we all presumed was in Delaware never made a whole lotta sense, she she also told us that from there, she went to New Hampshire to visit her parents (who should have been Delaware had the funeral taken place there) It is queer enough that she was writing the letter to Feinstein, not in her home, but in Delaware, where FBI agent Monica McClean lives. We also learn that even though Monica McClean who could not be older than 51 or 52 years old, “retired” from the FBI the year of President Trump’s election in 2016. . And if that is not enough to raise anyone’s antennae, we now learn that McClean is not simply a passive supporter of Ford, signing support statements with other high school classmates. We since have learned that she attempted to intervene in these legal proceedings, even though Ford had plenty of lawyers, and tried to put pressure on Ford’s other friend, Leland, to change her statement. Also, all of Ford’s social media has been eradicated from the internet with such expertise, that you cannot even use the WayBack Machine to get any of it back. There is far more than meets the eye in this relationship. Congress s
Why is McLean sticking her nose into this at all? She should not be texting anyone who is a potential witness. Isn’t that witness tampering? The Democrats have completely lost sight of the meaning and value of “truth”. They will find out that living a lie is really hard! Just ask Hillary.
All these cursed, moron, amoral, communist (the list could go on a lot farther, you know) demokraps want is to erase the constitution and destroy the Americal people all in the pursuit of power.
If the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives changes as a result of this Novembers election, Rep. Maxine Waters of California becomes the ranking member, and consequently the Chairperson, on the House’s Financial Services Committee. This Committee over sees all Financial Exchanges and Banking
If the Senate majority changes, Senator Bernie Sanders becomes Chairperson of the Senate’s Budget Committee.
Just in case you don’t know what the significance of such a disaster is, the following should be illustrative.
With these two reprobate, idiot, commies in crucial positions time would be saved and fear well served if the fed just arbitrarily raised Fed Funds to 25 or 30% and congress raised base income tax rates to 95% and voided all deductions.
Wouldn’t that be nice./ A socialist paradise./ Ere we vote, we’d better think twice.
Twidder, FB & others have stymied my 1st Amendment rights to tell you my reaction!
More fking lies, just trying to bide more time lets get on with it. She’s being paid off to lie from the Soros Foundation.
DIMocRATS are amoral, unethical oxygen thieves. Nothing they say can be taken as the truth in ANY matter. They lost the election to President Trump and are still butt-hurt over it. The also see their 24 year liberal reign of the USSC circling the bowl, and a Conservative majority on the USSC for at least 3 more decades.
