Well, this is interesting. It’s too interesting to appear on the front page of the Washington Post, the NY Times, the LA Times, and several other of the leading U.S. newspapers I checked. Because this utterly harms The Narrative
(Daily Caller) The woman believed to be the “missing†party guest at the high school gathering where Christine Blasey Ford alleges Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her over 35 years ago reportedly has no recollection of the incident, her lawyer said in a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Saturday.
Leland Keyser, a reported longtime friend of Ford’s, denied knowing Kavanaugh or having any knowledge of attending a party with him, according to CNN.
“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,†said Howard Walsh, Keyser’s attorney.
In a Washington Post article, Ford said there were three individuals at the party in addition to herself and Kavanaugh — Mark Judge, Patrick Smyth and another person. Both Judge and Smyth have also denied having any memory or knowledge surrounding the incident. Keyser is believed to be the third person in question.
Obviously, Judge Kavanaugh denies that anything happened. So, the only person so far not on record (the other four have submitted officials letters and/or made official statements) is Dr. Ford who has reached a “tentative deal” to testify in front of Congress Thursday (she says she’s afraid to fly. Who wants to bet she is flown across the country in a private jet owned by a hardcore Progressive?), for which you can expect that she and her lawyers and the Democrats will somehow delay, as well.
Committee source says they’ve contacted five people alleged to be at party. 4 deny any knowledge of the party and allegations. 5th person – Dr. Ford – is the only one who has not provided them a statement. #Kavanaugh

So to be clear: All four people named have said this party never happened. It isn't even as if one of them is saying, "oh, i remember the party, but my memory of how things played out is different." They are saying it NEVER HAPPENED. That is powerful evidence.

Of course, to the media which is attempting to destroy Trump by destroying a good man like Brett Kavanaugh, this is immaterial. So we get garbage like this
- I went to an elite prep school like Kavanaugh’s. Here’s what I saw. (someone who didn’t go to that school but a different one attempts to smear Kavanaugh because his school was a supposed hell hole of misogyny. The prep school I went to, and the ones I know, weren’t)
- Ford runs circles around hapless Republicans, who now have a second scandal (that’s Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s “Republican”, who isn’t able to provide evidence, she just likes bashing “her people.”
- The Burden of Proof for Kavanaugh (The NY Times’ supposed Republican, who does seem to be saying that Kavanaugh is guilty, and, even if not, he might want to step down)
Plenty more stupidity out there, but, then we get this
Dr Ford’s attorney to @NBCNews: “It’s not surprising that Ms Keyser has no recollection of the evening as they did not discuss it. It’s also unremarkable that Ms. Keyser does not remember attending a specific gathering 30 years ago at which nothing of consequence happened to her” pic.twitter.com/wD0EciQJpc

I’m going to make a prediction: come Wednesday, her lawyer will release a “statement from Dr. Ford”, which will say something to the effect of “Dr. Ford is a victim, and has been doubly victimized through this rushed process. She feels that she will not be treated fairly and will not be able to obtain justice, so, knowing that the whole process is tainted, she will not testify, and she will drop the matter a second time, leaving Republicans to deal with their shame”, at which point all sorts of Democrats will demagogue and wear Handmaid costumes. Which will be interesting for ones like Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer. That’s the way these kinds of things go. Ford cannot prove her accusation, she has no evidence, none of the people at the reported party back her, so, now it’s time to give it up in a way that still smears Kavanaugh.
Ahem. Four strikes?
And the lying little political gold-digging whore hasn’t even stepped into the batter’s box.
Thanks! Perfectly describes tRump!
Which only shows how ignorant Jeffery is.
The Donald earned his money. Too bad Jeffery can’t say the same.
LOL! The Don is a grifter as Mr. Mueller will demonstrate.
Don’t know about Jeffrey, but I’ve earned mine, as much as any privileged white man.
No jeff, you got grants from our tax money to get through your remedial education and then to build up your corporation.
Dave!!
Out of rehab, we see! Congrats.
But your lies are still the same.
Anyway, a “doctor” who got rich off Medicare and Medicaid has little room to talk. Our taxes have been paying you for decades. If you’re an average “doctor” you kill as many patients as you cure.
Who paid for your residency? Do you know how NIH post-doctoral fellowships work? Back in the 80s it was about $14,000/yr for 60 hr work weeks. And taxes were taken out, too!
Jeff,
One lie after another. Silly little man child.
LOL! The Don is a grifter as Mr. Mueller will demonstrate.
Is that going to be in this century?
And retyping troll material on the Internet is hardly what anyone would call earning money.
Not exactly. She said she “had no recollection” of being at the gathering. “No recollection” is the lawyerly way of covering her ass. She probably wasn’t violently assaulted in a locked bedroom while there.
Mitch McConnell called tRump and chewed him out for his vile and counterproductive twitterings.
Michael Avenatt: “All indications are that Dr. Ford is not alone. Buckle up – that includes you Mark Judge.”
So, little fella, is there a statute of limitations in MO. for sexual abuse of a minor?
Asking for a friend named Jeffery.
Ask drowningpuppies, he has existing restraining orders keeping him 1000 feet away from elementary schools AND doggie day cares.
But, little fella, proof of your sexual abuse of a minor is completely unnecessary.
An accusation will suffice.
You’re right! Defamation only requires an accusation!
You’re the gift that keeps on giving! We’re sure Porter “appreciates” your stupidity!
Fortunately, all the disgusting accusations and threats you’ve made regarding others are a matter of record here at the Cove.
Have your pseudonym contact my lawyer.
Here’s a tidbit that nails it. Mrs. Leland Ingham Keyser is the former Mrs Bob Beckel.
And little Jeffery has nothing but lies. Actually McConnell said, “Trump’s Presidency Has Been ‘My Best Years in the Senate’”.
And we’re so reduced we’re quoting Chiraq’s lawyer to the porn stars? And his name is Avenatti.
So it looks like what everybody thought was a brilliant ploy for the Demos to get around a filibuster actually turns in a more brilliant stall by the Rs to get the goods on Dr I Can’t Remember. Somehow I think she’s never gonna make it to DC.
Avenatti is the lawyer of tRump’s former lover, Stormy Daniels, a porn star. tRump paid her to keep quiet about their assignation so as to stifle the information before the election. He’s an unindicted co-conspirator in the crime.
Try to keep up. McConnell placed a call to tRump telling him to stop twittering about Dr. Ford. It’s in all the papers.
The increasingly shrill and facist GOP is going to be hard pressed to not lose. If Dr. Ford testifies and is convincing, they lose. If they pummel her, they lose. If nothing happens, they lose.
Avenatti is the lawyer of someone who claimed to have had a hook-up with Trump after denying it for years.
And just because something is in all the papers doesn’t make it true.
And the Demos have lost. She’s already lost by not having a corroborating witness and because 3/4 of the country don’t buy her act. Little Jeffery is going to be like those kids photoed sobbing hysterically after Hillary blew it.
Maybe you’re right. tRump is such a lousy businessman that he just might bribe a woman whom he didn’t know. His stupidity ended up making him an unindicted co-conspirator.
You’ll find out if the GOP won in November.
now it’s time to give it up in a way that still smears Kavanaugh.
No smear. Only about a quarter of the American people say they buy her story (of the rest, I’ll bet half don’t, either).
Kavanaugh is sworn in, makes a great Justice. The Demos and Jeffery take it on the chin.
And now even the letter that Ford allegedly wrote to Feinstein is looking contrived and shady.
You know, the one Feinstein keeps refusing to hand over to Republicans without it first being censored? The one where Ford made her accusations against Kavanaugh?
Turns out she sent the letter to Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, NOT Feinstein.
Now, why oh why would Ford have done that?
she made the statement in a way that would avoid 18USC 1001 liability… and that somehow she knew that this would be the case. Unlikely for a statistics professor.
https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2018/09/23/is-this-why-dems-wont-hand-the-letter-over-even-the-way-ford-submitted-her-letter-to-feinstein-is-shady-af/
I noted, in some detail, The Washington Post’s attempt to smear Judge Kavanaugh by innuendo: his prep school might not have had 2018 #MeToo cultural; sensitivity 3½ decades ago, and therefore we are supposed to infer that he could have assaulted Dr Ford, so it follows, therefore, that he did assault Dr Ford. It was journalism on a par with the National Enquirer.
Note what’s going on here: Judge Kavanaugh came from a well-to-do white family, so he was able to attend a tony, all-boys prep school, therefore he’s just got to be guilty. This was the same tactic taken by the left concerning the three Duke lacrosse players accused of assaulting Crystal Mangum: the rich white boys just have to be guilty!
Not to mention.

The lying little political activist will pay a price.
from FOX News:
Doesn’t look good for the GOPhers in November. Maybe tRump can get the Russians to help again. Or just declare martial law.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fox-news-poll-record-number-of-voters-oppose-kavanaugh-nomination/ar-AAAvU6g?li=BBnbcA1&ocid=edgsp
When was a Fox poll ever right?
About anything? Particularly now that the Murdoch brothers are running the show.
And that poll is registered votes. Come back when they ask likely voters.
PS The whole thing about degrees is classic Lefty. They all think they’re so brilliant no matter how many times The Donald outsmarts them.
Do you see the hole the far, far, far right extremists are digging? You can’t trust FOX anymore. You’ve cloistered yourselves.
Just breaking:
According to the New Yorker, another woman, Debbie Ramirez, has stepped forward accusing Kavanaugh of sexual harassment at Yale. The Republicans knew of this second woman since last week, explaining why McConnell was in such a hurry.
Michael Avenatti says his client is NOT that woman, making 3 potential victims.
Hmmm. Avenatti is setting a perjury trap for Kavanaugh.
What time tomorrow will Kavanaugh withdraw? Mitch McConnell should do the right thing and resign.
[…] And from Sunday […]
