Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday of being involved in the operation to leak Christine Blasey Ford’s letter to the public.
“I believe the Schumer political operation was behind this from the very beginning,” Cotton told conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt during his radio show.
Ford wrote Democratic lawmakers a letter in July accusing Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct more than 35 years ago. During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in September, Ford said she did not authorize the letters release, despite it being made public.
“We learned last week that a woman named Monica McLean was Ms. Ford’s roommate and she was one of the so-called ‘beach friends’ that encouraged Ms. Ford to go to [Sen.] Dianne Feinstein and the partisan Democrats on the judiciary committee,” Cotton continued. “It just so happens that Monica McLean worked for Preet Bharara, the former U.S. attorney in Manhattan, now a virulent anti-Trump critic on television and former counsel to Chuck Schumer.”
Bharara has been an outspoken detractor of President Donald Trump, even promulgating the case of obstruction against the president. He was also considered to be a protege of the New York senator. (RELATED: Democratic Senators Denounce FBI Investigation After Rumors That Report Came Back Clean)
“I strongly suspect that Chuck Schumer’s political operation knew about Ms. Ford’s allegations as far back as July and manipulated the process all along to include taking advantage of Ms. Ford’s confidences and directing her towards left-wing lawyers who apparently may have violated the D.C. code of legal ethics and perhaps may face their own investigation by the D.C. Bar,” Cotton said.
“Another fairytale from Sen. Cotton, reminiscent of his trip to the White House when he lied about what the President said about immigrants from Africa,” a spokesman for Schumer told The Daily Caller News Foundation, referring to Cotton’s denial that Trump called African nations “shithole countries.”

It seems to me that republicans think for themselves individually while democrats are herd animals following the loudest leader.
Everyone knows INBREDS have a mental illness.
Schumer is a PROVEN Israel First, Dual Citizen with WRONG single loyalty, Traitor Within The Gates, Talmudic Zionist Khazar Nation Wrecker…that would be better placed on an execution scaffold, rather than the rat being smeared on our Federal halls of power.
The bitter fact that Schumer, Feinstein, Blumenthal, Nadler, Schiff, Hoyer, Boxer and the rest of the Zio Rats are placed in our government is a national embarrassment and cause for shame.
The ONLY mercy that the scum deserve is that their Shabbos Goyim fronters and stooges, like Whitehouse, Coons and so many other applauders of Netanyahu…go to the gallows first.
Make it so.
Inbred operatives of the Democrat-Communist-Islamic-Nazi Terrorist Organization, have no code.
TOM COTTON BELIEVES CHUCK SCHUMER IS BEHIND FORD’S LEAKED LETTER
Wouldn’t doubt it. Chuck “The Schmuck” Schumer is, IMHO, just the type of low life politician to do such.
Well, it seems Chuck Schummers Press Secy. is way behind the 8 ball. The conversation between Trump, Cotton and et. all was TAPED. It has been played several times on Fox News. It shows Cotton was telling the truth and Schummer and his staff lied about Cotton. When will the Dim Dems ever learn?
If they keep up with this impeachment crap, we will eventually find out everything. People will dig deep into every little nook and cranny, finding the truth, and keeping Justice Kavanaugh on the court.
I still say phone, text and email records of Ms. Ford and her Atty’s need to be investigated and traced back to what Dems were in contact with her and when. Let’s end this BS and show America what that party is all about.
Mr. Cotton has hit the bulls-eye. I don’t think Feinstein lied about she, or her staff leaking this; She immediately went to the minority leader, Chuck the Schmuck, to have him direct the strategy to use their pawn, Blasey-Ford, to perform the character assassination of Kavanaugh. Do the investigation so the rest of America can see their desperate attempt to “win at any cost”.
