Christine Ford’s Friend Leland Keyser Will Cooperate With FBI, Says She DOES NOT Know Brett Kavanaugh
Christine Ford named her life long friend Leland Ingram Keyser as the female ‘witness’ who attended the high school party where Ford was allegedly sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh in 1982.
Keyser’s attorney sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee this weekend once again confirming her client does not know Brett Kavanaugh and she never attended the party described by Ford.
All witnesses Ford named have denied being at the party described in Ford’s allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh.
In the letter sent to the Judiciary Committee, Keyser’s attorney said her client is willing to cooperate fully with the FBI’s supplemental investigation into Kavanaugh.
“However, as my client has already made clear, she does not know Judge Kavanaugh and has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford,” Keyser’s attorney said. “The simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question.”

The Moral-Panic Phase
Why is the Kavanaugh nomination causing people to lose their minds?
Dear Reader (Including everybody who’d just like a time-out),
Maybe it’s because I’ve been getting so much grief from left and right for the alleged sin of “both sides-ism” over the last few years, but Thursday (yesterday for me) was both clarifying and cathartic. Oh, don’t get me wrong: It was horrible and possibly tragic for the Court and the country, but it was also oddly — and probably momentarily — liberating, at least for me.
Because, finally, there was a left–right fight about which I am largely un-conflicted. This wasn’t a brouhaha about Trump or any of the usual stuff. The issue here was that the Democrats and their abettors in the media simply behaved atrociously.
For example, on Thursday, nearly every conservative and Republican was respectful towards Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, finding her testimony moving and credible. But when Brett Kavanaugh spoke, also movingly and credibly, the instantaneous response from much of the liberal and Democratic chorus was “Ermahgod! Raaaaaapist!” or “How dare he be angry!” or “You can’t have a partisan madman like this on the Court!”
Look, I actually agree that Kavanaugh’s anger towards Democrats in the hearing — though morally and emotionally justified — isn’t a good thing over the long run if he were to make it on the Court. But this idea that he can’t be a Supreme Court justice because he wasn’t dispassionate in the face of multiple bogus allegations that he’s a rapist is both grotesque and grotesquely dumb.

In a court of law, the burden of proof is on the accuser to prove that they were harmed... the accused is presumed innocent till proven guilty...
The whole reason the Democrats kept pushing that this was not a court of law is so they could claim presumption of guilt... When I heard Sen. Coons say that it was up to Kavanaugh to provide EVIDENCE that he did not do it - I about fell out of my chair... How the Hell does one provide evidence that you did not do something - you can not prove a negative.... The only person who can provide evidence that something happened to them, is the accuser.. Theoretical case in point: A bank is robbed.. There are cameras to prove it was robbed.. You can't just go up to any 'ole Tom, Dick, or Harry on the street and demand that they provide evidence that they did not rob the bank... We have laws that are suppose to protect people from being randomly accused of crimes...
Oh, and just in case you hadn't heard, hypnosis to uncover "memories" is not allowed in a Court of Law anymore than a polygraph test as both are unreliable... It's too easy to implant a false memory under hypnosis and too easy to fake polygraph results...
We were not allowed to see the psychologist's notes from 2012 when Ford suddenly and mysteriously "remembered" her attacker was Kavanaugh... Somehow, this "memory" was uncovered... Since Ford's lawyer's jumped in and wouldn't let her testify how this memory was uncovered and wouldn't let the psychologist's notes be revealed... hmmmmm.... they kept this knowledge hidden for a reason...

I saw his testimony very differently.
I saw a belligerent, spoiled child blaming everybody and crying "poor me".
Most women just don't come forward - whether it's sexual assault or just a regular assault.
This is something men just cannot wrap their heads around. And not in a sexist way. I just think men tackle a situation where they have been wronged differently to women.
But perhaps you could relate if the accuser was a straight man.
Did you know that if a man is anally raped he will get an erection for the simple reason that the prostate will be stimulated? That would seriously mess with the victim's head, and they would likely not come forward.
It is easier to just push the pain down and move on with your life.
But then to see that man being given serious power? I think that would make your blood boil.

What would make my blood boil is to see a man whose entire life has been exemplary be denied his rightful position on our highest court due to a railroad job of unsubstantiated, nay REFUTED charges, but then, I'm rooted in objective reality not driven by my emotions.
House Arrest
Sometime later this week, we can confidently predict that Democrats and the media will be howling in anger at the inconclusive results of a weeklong FBI investigation into what may or may not have happened during a two minute period behind a closed bedroom door in an unknown house on an unknown day, month, and year, with no witnesses, approximately 36 years ago.
Unless the FBI gets access to a time-traveling DeLorean, there's simply no way they can find out anything new. Not that the Democrats actually care. Their attitude, to paraphrase Doc Brown, is "Where we're going, we don't need evidence."
To put matters in sad perspective, today is the one year anniversary of the nightmarish Las Vegas shootings that killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others. It was the largest mass murder in U.S. history. The FBI has now had a year to investigate what happened in a bedroom that became a sniper's perch. They've been able to draw on their own investigators and labs, the Mandalay Bay resort's security personnel and apparatus, multiple closed circuit cameras recording videos before and at the time of the event, and the statements of countless witnesses.
And they've come up with nothing to explain how and why this bloodbath occurred. What happened in that bedroom remains a mystery.
This being the case, it strains credulity to think that, given seven days, even the FBI can somehow divine the truth of a brief alleged bedroom humping from decades ago.
Of course, even if the FBI could

As you may or may not know, considering you're too scared of us mean conservatives making sense at DiverseCity to visit anymore, our son (aka Thing2) recently received his masters degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Apparently, they're celebrating their 100th year in San Francisco or something, but in any case, the boy was gobsmacked to see his face plastered all over town the other day . . .
