As the left-wing smear against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh continues to unravel amid a journalistic malpractice scandal at the New York Times, original Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s “lifelong friend” and alleged witness now doubts her story.
Leland Keyser, who Ford claimed was one of five people at a party in the 1980s where she says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her, told New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly “I don’t have any confidence in the story.”
Keyser - who said she was pressured by Ford’s ex-FBI buddy to lie and say that she didn’t remember the party instead of saying that it never happened - originally said through her attorney that she “does not refute Dr. Ford’s account,” however “the simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question.”
“I was told behind the scenes that certain things could spread about me if I didn’t comply,” Keyser told the Times journos - who felt it wasn’t notable enough for their smear article.
Now, Keyser says she doesn’t believe Ford’s story at all.
“We spoke multiple times to Keyser, who also said that she didn’t recall that get-together or others like it,” wrote Pogrebin and Kelly in their new book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation (yet another item that didn’t make it into their inflammatory Times article). “In fact, she challenged Ford’s accuracy.”
“Those facts together I don’t recollect, and it just didn’t make any sense,” said Keyser. “It would be impossible for me to be the only girl at a get-together with three guys, have her leave, and then not figure out how she’s getting home,” she added.

During Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, Ford (whose lawyer recently admitted the goal was to place an ‘asterisk’ next to Kavanaugh’s name before ‘he takes a scalpel’ top Roe v. Wade) alleged that Kavanaugh and classmate Mark Judge from the all-boys Georgetown Prep, held her down and sexually assaulted in an upstairs room of a home in suburban maryland during a party.
Kavanaugh and Judge have vehemently denied the incident, while a third man who Ford claimed was at the party - Patrick J. Smyth, also denied any recollection of the event, telling the Judiciary Committee in a statement last September: “I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post,” Smyth wrote in his statement. “I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.”
Meanwhile, The New York Times was forced to issue a major correction on Monday after Pogrebin and Kelly claimed to have uncovered another alleged incident in which Kavanaugh’s penis was thrust into a female student’s hand.
A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. Mr. Stier, who runs a nonprofit organization in Washington, notified senators and the F.B.I. about this account, but the F.B.I. did not investigate and Mr. Stier has declined to discuss it publicly. (We corroborated the story with two officials who have communicated with Mr. Stier.) -New York Times
Except - much like Keyser’s bombshell which undercuts Blasey Ford’s story, the Times journos omitted the fact that the new accuser refused to be interviewed, and has no memory of the incident.

Is that a knock from the Secret Service at your door? Exclaiming that Congressmen should be hunted down and shot?
And how is that any different from the movie “The Hunt” that the producers were forced into not releasing? (because of negative reaction from “The Deplorables” when they found out about it.) I’m sure you must have heard about it. The main thing wrong with the premise is that the conservatives (“Deplorables” who were to be hunted down and killed by rich leftist elitists) are the ones with nearly all the guns, and we would never submit to it. see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_(unreleased_film)
If there were penalties for these deep corrupt players they might think before trying to take over America and undermine the peoples wishes on who the president will be. These corrupt democrats and their bumbling Hollywood friends don’t care about Americans living a better life or having a job because they crave power. It is now clear that it is not that they hate Trump as bad as it seems but they just can not and will not accept the fact that corrupt Hillary lost and now the new strategy is in place for any republican that ever wins the white house and that is for the democrats to resist and make up false charges for the entire four years of the republican presidents term instead of working for the good of the country. The democrats and their head shaking puppet liberals want just one party and they want to have their way by any means available to these radical crazies. I don’t know how any liberals no matter what would argue against a better economy , more jobs , lower taxes and a stronger America unless they were brainwashed.
Automatic jail sentence for this sheet.. America is getting fed up with this DemonRatic Liars..
Blasey Ford seemed very unhinged and it was pretty easy to see just how much of a liar she was . A person that is telling the truth and in their heart they know it is the truth does not need to turn to their lawyers looking for help on answering a lot of the questions. The democrats that were questioning her had an agenda to bring down Kavanaugh so they all started off by kissing her behind and making some kind of a hero or martyr out of her but shame on the republicans and that woman they had doing the questioning because if someone had pushed Ford hard for the truth instead of telling her that she should be believed she would have cracked under the pressure. She has always been politically motivated and she came away with about a million dollar go fund me account to show for her lies. Any American that donated to this go fund me for her should feel like if they have been robbed at gun point by Ford and the democrat party.
The current scandal has nothing to do with Ford. It has to do with his college years and a different accuser. But nice deflection for those who don’t read (or think) past headlines.
The common denominator is that they (the democrat accusers) are all FULL OF SHIT! They are all spewing 100% politically-motivated hatchet-job propaganda! If you believe “Balsey Frod” (as in “FRAUD”) you are a fool, or just another fellow-traveler along the fascist path.
It’s all part of the same phony fabricated story, made up in a disgraceful attempt to block POTUS TRUMP from putting another Conservatie on the Supreme Court. All it shows is how desperate the liberalsare to grab onto power and the depths they will go to attain it.
The liar Ford held her head down with two jew lawyers watching every wringle in her lying face. She talked like a little girl to the point that she mumbled most of the time until it came time to lie about the judge. This is where she straightened up and pronounced his name ever so clear and loud, “It was Brett Kavanaugh”. This is a crock and needs investigating by the proper police authorities, ( who ever they are????).
Enough is enough, time to hold all these morons accountable and as for these cannidates who keep promoting these stories, time to flush them out for the liars they are. If nothing happens to these people they will keep doing it time after time just because they get away with it. After three years of lying to the public, the left media no longer gets the reaction they used to due to the fact nobody believes a word they say anymore and every story they print now is looked at and has to be verified before anyone will even think of believing it.
No, but it’s just as FAKE & LIBELOUS.
Brett Kavanaugh’s history suggests he was the kind of pathetic little guy who’s always seeking approval from the jocks and the popular kids by outrageous behavior, and is kept around for his entertainment value. It’s also clear he’s very intelligent and worked hard, but his values and motives are questionable. And he drinks (or drank) way too much. Please stop trying to make a saint out of him.
Hey Blue, your kind of missing the point. In your zeal to defend the incompetence of the NYT you deflect this into some kind of attempt to beatify Kavanaugh. Nobody has done that. This is about journalistic standards (factual, accurate reporting versus carrying out a slanted, inaccurate political narrative devoid of supporting facts). It’s irresponsible reporting plain and simple. It’s the kind of junk you’d expect of a tabloid. The prior event, the sham of a Senate “hearing” involving Ms Ford’s unsupported and fatally flawed testimony, was about the rule of law and standards of evidence. Ford and her attorney wanted to accomplish a political objective without actually having to be on the stand or cross-examined. Ford was outed and used by the very scumbags (Feinstein) she wanted to hurt Kavanaugh. You can be a liberal and still have ethical, moral standards sufficient to call BS when you see it perpetrated by your favorite people or institutions. To his credit, Alan Dershowitz has called this for what it is from day one. I’m waiting for another I liberal beacon with enough courage to say as much.
How the hell did you come up with this line of crap? Why can’t you just admit that Ford and her lawyers and all the other so called witnesses and accusers and the SWINE on the House and Senate that pushed this story are all full of shit!!!
It’s amazing to me that the liberals continue to claim that no one is above the law but continue to place themselves above the law at every turn. They are doing everything they can to throw disparagement onto the Trump administration and they are so good at lying that they even believe their own lies. The liberal base believes everything that they are told by the democrats no matter how far fetched it is. I speak to liberals that I work with all the time and it is unbelievable how much they believe these lies.
Danger - I know what you mean. I’ve experienced liberal idiots in the work place myself. I once worked with a real liberal nut back in the 1990s (the entire group was conservative except for this one guy). We worked in “cubicles” where it was hard to not overhear conversations that went on in the next cubicle (or across the hallway). Well, this liberal was talking with a conservative friend of mine across the hall, about Richard Nixon - and the lib was ripping Nixon apart just like it was still 1973, all the while totally ignoring all the Clinton scandals that were current events at the time. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I went across the hall and gave him a piece of my mind, telling him, “What about Clinton? Clinton is the sleaziest, slimiest SOB that ever lied his way into the White House!” Well, this guy went into a state of shock and went to our manager and complained about ME! The boss called me into his office (the guy was already there, pouting) and asked what happened. As I related the event, “the lib” started jumping up and down in his chair, yelling “ITS IN THE TAPES - ITS IN THE TAPES - ITS IN THE TAPES!!!” (referring to the Nixon tapes, trying to make the case that Nixon was guilty as sin; and all this took place in the mid-90s.) Libs are obsessed with what they are told is republican corruption (and they NEVER FORGET) and they totally ignore worse corruption within their own “team.” This was something of a “Captain Queeg moment” (from “The Caine Mutiny”). My lib co-worker was Queeg on the witness stand, rolling his marbles, as he proceeded to talk about “The Strawberries! THAT’S where I HAD THEM!!!” My boss (who was also a Republican) and I just looked at each other and I could see the embarrassment in my boss’ face.
The Demoncrat Party is a left wing hate group populated with anti-Christian bigots! They are unfit to serve!
it was obvious right from the start that Christine Ford was lying, and she knew she was lying. She probably got a fat check to say all of theose nasty things about Kavanaugh. None of it is believable and anyone who wants to spend a dime on this investigation is a fool!
Oh, and you know this personally do you? Outrageous behavior?? And you know that he drinks, or drank a lot? LOL How about stop spreading slanderous statements that are completely unverifiable. Did you not read the part where the woman was threatened to be smeared if she didn’t go along with the charade? I’ve noticed this a lot about Democrat Socialists… even when the facts are presented to their very faces, they completely ignore them, and fabricate their own version of reality of events. There’s some mental disconnect that goes on when they’re talking to a conservative, nothing the conservative says seems to reach the processing center of the brain or something. But they’ll believe anything and everything that comes out of the mouths of the racist, bigots at CNN. Democrat Socialists / Liberals blame everything on conservatives. Their actions, and their decision making process defies logic and common sense. They’ve achieved a point where they simply don’t listen to anything else, when it’s the truth, and believe everything CNN or lame stream media, no questions asked, no vetting of information… they’ll believe accusations from someone that has no evidence, who’s story can’t be verified, but won’t believe one word from conservative because it’s coming from… a conservative. And add freaking out, willing to murder them practically, if they’re wearing a MAGA hat.
Th DEMONCRAT CULT, should be laughed at and mocked at very turn, don’t give them any credance, they are the SCUM of the earth.
How about examining the FACTS, oh yeah there aren’t any. In the Bible if you falsely accused someone and you were found to be lying, you got to the penalty for the crime. We should go back to that, maybe then we wouldn’t have false allegations.
That is an important element in tort reform - “Loser Pays.”
So it was a lie told by yet another hard core left wing female college professor. That pattern is becoming predictable. It show a lack of intelligence on fords part. But then we have grown to expect that from stupid low intellengency college professors haven’t we.
Now she needs to be sued from a couple hundred million dollars for liable. Give her the option to give up all her degrees and provide a written apology for being so left wing that she it willing to lie for her cause or pay two hundred million dollars for committing liable against a sitting supreme court judge.
After the court case is done announce in the news this is the new standard. You lie in a public forum you get sued out of you comfortable living. I really hate, yes hate, these lying garbage national socialist antifa lying democrats
we all do, and we need to get them out of the government!
Dr Ford’s own father & mother don’t
believe her story—what does that tell
you—-unfortunately women who are
actually sexually assaulted will not
come forward, because of this lying
woman!
Old Blue How about the Blamestream Media and these Socialist Democraps quit Smearing Kavanaugh. There has been NO PROOF that this Man did anything he’s been accused of. If YOU know something then Why don’t YOU come forward? Otherwise this Man is INNOCENT until PROVEN otherwise. WELCOME TO AMERICA!
Hmmmmm - No Victim - Worthless Witness with elite ties - MSM libeling the man…
“Fake News”……The fact is the dems scored NOTHING and CL made them look like the clowns they are…..Nadler didn’t even have a copy of the “Weissman Report” near him….The questions were scripted by staff and presented by these clowns - who did NOTHING but Rant and Rave making accusations…What ya’ll FAIL to realize is Trump is the Chief Executive and can fire anyone at any time…..I would have fired mueller and had them choose another team as special counsel….
The Democrats will not let anything go until they are forced out of office, and the illegals who are deported cannot vote for them.
Any intelligent person can see what a bunch of mental midgets they are!
Let’s make Ford a real hero and jail the bitch!
Yes, I agree, jail the lying bitch! Who in the world believes this piece of trash! She was probably paid to say all of those nasty things about the judge. The Left don’t want a liberal judge that they cannot buy!
If any real justice prevailed… Ford, Katz, Stier and every other hack involved in the smear campaign of lies would be locked up for a very long time… Plenty of time to think about what they ATTEMPTED to do to an INNOCENT MAN!
Anyone with half of a brain could tell from the start that it was a made up story to further a political agenda. Blasey Ford herself admits that she did it to save ‘Roe vs Wade’ in case he was confirmed. Would the left have the same reaction if some woman said that some time in the past, though she can’t remember the exact date, Bernie Sanders exposed himself to her and a group of children. The list of people allegedly witnessing the act do not recall it ever happening, but Diane Feinstein claims that women must be believed. Would Bernie have to resign from Congress? I think not because the accusation is ridiculous, as was the one made by Ms Ford.
So Freeman,clue me in to as just exactly what the “scandal” is that you are referring to and accusing others of deflecting from. As clearly stated in the article,THERE IS NO “SCANDAL” since no one recalls the incident.It was simply another lie made up by some hater,much like yourself I believe.But just like your hate,it doesn’t amount to much.There is no corroboration of the “big story”. But since when does corroboration mean anything to demoncrats?Wishing and hoping and making up lies and then spreading them with out proof (exactly what the poor deranged and demented dems do) does not mean that everyone is going to take it as fact.Much to your dismay I am sure.
