In a letter released from Christine Blasey Ford’s ex-boyfriend, it was alleged that Ford helped life-long friend Monica L. McLean pass a polygraph test.
But who exactly is Monica McLean?
In addition to being Ford’s best friend, McLean was also a 24-year employee of the Department of Justice and FBI from 1992 to 2016, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The ex-boyfriend described Ford’s relationship with McLean in a letter obtained by Fox News, detailing how she helped McLean pass a polygraph for an FBI position.
“During some of the time we were dating, Dr. Ford lived with Monica McLean, who I understood to be her life-long best friend. During that time, it was my understanding that McLean was preparing was interviewing for jobs with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office,” he wrote.
“I witnessed Dr Ford help McLean prepare for a potential polygraph exam. Dr. Ford explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped McLean become familiar and less nervous about the exam. Dr. Ford was able to help because of her background in psychology.”
A 2000 Los Angeles FBI declaration further confirms McLean’s position with the FBI, which she listed as a Special Agent of the FBI, Associate Division Counsel, in the Los Angeles Division Legal Unit.
Currently, according to her historical address records, McLean lives in Rehoboth, Delaware.
This is an interesting fact, given Ford testified to Congress last week that she drafted her letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) from the same town of Rehoboth, Delaware.
MITCHELL: The second is the letter that you wrote to Senator Feinstein, dated the — July 30th of this year.
MITCHELL: Did you write the letter yourself?
FORD: I did.
MITCHELL: And I — since it’s dated July 30th, did you write it on that date?
FORD: I believe so. I — it sounds right. I was in Rehoboth, Delaware, at the time. I could look into my calendar and try to figure that out. It seemed…
MITCHELL: Was it written on or about that date?
FORD: Yes, yes. I traveled, I think, the 26th of July to Rehoboth, Delaware. So that makes sense, because I wrote it from there.
MITCHELL: Is the letter accurate? FORD: I’ll take a minute to read it.
So, Dr. Blasey Ford was in Rehoboth Beach, Del., on 26th July 2018. Meanwhile her life-long best friend, Monica L McLean, who worked as attorney and POI in the DOJ/FBI is listed as living Rehoboth Beach, Del.
Is it a coincidence the same Ms. McLean, who Ford allegedly coached on lie detector testing, was in the same town days leading up to the actual writing of the letter?
It could help explain a few things: first, it positions Ford to navigate the preparatory processes needed to level her allegations against Kavanaugh.
Second, with a former FBI agent close to Ford, it could explain why the Democrats were so eager to launch a new FBI investigation into Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford claimed under oath she had a fear of flying, but extensive travel photos as well as a sworn statement by her ex-boyfriend directly contradict that claim.
Ford had already moved 3,000 miles from Maryland, where she alleges the assault by Judge Brett Kavanaugh took place, to California, but upon learning Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court, her husband claimed she was thinking about moving to New Zealand.
“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,'” her husband said. “She wanted out.”
A newly surfaced letter by Ford’s ex-boyfriend also directly refutes Ford’s claims, saying she “never expressed a fear of close quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit,” which were supposedly at the crux of her fear of flying.
“While visiting Ford in Hawaii, we traveled around the Hawaiian Islands including one time on a propeller plane. Dr. Ford never indicated a fear of flying. To the best of my recollection Dr. Ford never expressed a fear of close quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit. I assisted Dr. Ford with finding a place to live in [redacted] California. She ended up living in a very small, 500 sq. ft. house with one door,” the ex-boyfriend said in the letter.
Additionally, sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell also confirmed Ford traveled extensively for surfing trips despite her supposed fear of flying during her sworn testimony.
Mitchell had asked Ford how she got to Washington D.C., to which Ford replied, “In an airplane.”
“I ask that because its been reported by the press that you would not submit to an interview with the committee because of your fear of flying. Is that true?” Mitchell asked.
“That was certainly what I was hoping to avoid getting on an airplane. But I eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of some friends and get on the plane,” Ford said.
“You fly fairly frequently for your hobbies and you’ve had to fly for your work. Is that true?” Mitchell asked.
“Correct. Unfortunately,” Ford said.
Mitchell then listed all the destinations Ford has traveled for surfing, which included Hawaii, Costa Rica, South Pacific Islands and French Polynesia.
And Ford’s letter to Diane Feinstein also mentioned that she was in the Mid-Atlantic for vacation.
The evidence continues to pile up, not against Kavanaugh, but against Ford’s sworn statements.
The Kavanaugh Attack Is The Dress Rehearsal For Trump’s Impeachment
The credibility of Julie Swetnick, who accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape, might have suffered another blow on Tuesday with the statement of a once-prominent weatherman.
A signed statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee from the award-winning meteorologist says Swetnick, who claims the judge and his friends gang-raped girls after drugging them or plying them with alcohol, was sexually aggressive and partial to group sex.
The committee released the letter yesterday, further casting doubt on Swetnick’s fantastic claims about Kavanaugh.
Sexually Aggressive Swetnick
Dennis Ketterer, who formerly worked for WJLA in Washington, D.C., claims he met Swetnick in 1993 at a bar. Swetnick approached him, he wrote, “alone, quite beautiful, well-dressed and no drink in hand.”
Ketterer thought she might be a prostitute because he “weighed 350 lbs so what would someone like her want with me?” Though the couple didn’t leave together that night, “over the next couple of weeks we met at what I believed and still believe was Julie’s place. From the beginning Julie knew I was married and that I was having marital issues.”
Swetnick, he wrote, was “very sexually aggressive with me,” but Ketterer “wasn't ready to make the jump” into the sack. But they did discuss “sexual preferences”:
Things got derailed when Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship.
I asked her if this was just a fantasy of hers. She responded that she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.
A.I.D.S. was a huge issue at the time. And I had children. Due to her having a directly stated penchant for group sex, I decided not to see her anymore. It put my head back on straight. That was the last conversation we had.
Ketterer also claimed that “he tried to reach out to Swetnick when he decided to run for Congress in 1996, thinking she could help him with his primary campaign ‘because of her personality, great smile and good looks.’ When he called her father to get Swetnick’s number, Ketterer claims, her father said she had psychological problems.”
Beyond that, Ketterer wrote, “Julie never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will. She never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity.”
That was the last he heard of Swetnick — until she published her claim of gang rape against Kavanaugh with the help of porn lawyer Michael Avenatti.
On September 26, “when Julie's name was mentioned as the accuser, and due to the type of accusation,” Ketterer wrote, “I was deeply troubled and felt a moral dilemma. Do I reach out and tell the truth of what I knew and risk family relationships, or remain silent.”
Continued the weatherman, who says he, too, is a sexual victim and also was accused of something he didn’t do: “I had to explain to my wife of three years what had happened 25 years ago, before we met and long before we were married. I explained my situation and she said she knew that if I didn't do the right thing, I couldn't live with myself.”
After speaking to a pastor, and “after much thought and frankly tears of remorse, I decided to be forthcoming with what I knew first-hand.”
“As I watched part of the afternoon confirmation hearing the next day, and saw Mrs. Kavanaugh looking so sad,” he wrote, “I felt that she needed to know that in this instance, her husband was being mischaracterized.”
“My heart still feels heavy, for me as well as Julie and the Kavanaughs,” Ketterer wrote. “That said, based on my direct experience with Julie, I do not believe her allegations against Mr. Kavanaugh.”
Predictably, Avenatti claims that Ketterer's story is “complete garbage” and that the GOP “must be truly desperate.”
Shakedowns and Tax Liens
Swetnick’s credibility has been a problem almost from the minute she surfaced with a claim that Kavanaugh was a criminal genius who, with friends, ran drug- and alcohol-fueled parties “nearly every weekend during the school year.”
Swetnick claimed she saw Kavanaugh and his friends spike punch and commit multiple gang rapes. Yet inexplicably, she repeatedly went to these parties until she was gang-raped herself. But then Swetnick admitted she did not actually see Kavanaugh spike punch or join a gang rape. She also said she cannot say Kavanaugh participated in her own gang rape.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has demanded that Christine Blasey Ford’s attorneys turn over all “material evidence relevant to [her] allegations” against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The demand went to Ford’s leftist attorneys in light of the latest declaration, from a former boyfriend, that undermines Ford’s testimony to the committee on Thursday. The boyfriend says he saw Ford coach a friend to help with a polygraph exam.
But that friend denies the boyfriend’s claim.
“Highly Relevant” Notes Not Seen In a letter obtained by Fox News but not posted at the committee’s website, Grassley flatly stated that “your continued withholding of material evidence despite multiple requests is unacceptable as the Senate exercises its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent for a judicial nomination. I urge you to comply promptly with my requests.”
Grassley asked again for the notes from Ford’s therapy sessions where she discussed the supposed, and uncorroborated, attack by Kavanaugh.
The Washington Post reported that some notes were provided to The Post, and Dr. Ford's testimony indicated that these notes were highly relevant to her allegations. These notes have been repeatedly cited as corroboration even while written 30 years after the alleged event and in apparent contradiction with testimony and other public statements regarding several key details of the allegations, including when the alleged attack occurred, how many individuals were present in the bedroom in which the attack was alleged to have occurred, and how many individuals attended the party.
The attorneys’ claims that the records are “private” and “highly sensitive information” the Committee doesn’t need to determine Ford’s credibility, Grassley wrote, “is not justified” because the withheld material is “a key component supporting allegations made by your client, including the presentation made to The Washington Post.”
Grassley also asked for all the audio, video, charts, and other data from Ford’s polygraph exam. “Dr. Ford cited the results of this polygraph examination to support her allegations,” Grassley wrote. “It's unfair to rely on the results of a polygraph examination while withholding the materials necessary to assess the accuracy of the results.”
That’s where Ford’s old flame comes in. He told the committee that he saw Ford coach her best friend, Monica McCLean, on how to take a polygraph. Noting that Ford denied, under oath, giving anyone such advice, Grassley wrote that her denial “raises specific concerns about the reliability of her polygraph examination results.”
Grassley also demanded “any and all written, audiovisual, or electronic materials relating to the allegations raised by Dr. Ford against Judge Kavanaugh that Dr. Ford or her representative previously provided to any reporter or anyone else at a media organization.”
Grassley explained the seriousness of Ford’s allegations and why he demanded the evidence Ford’s attorneys are, apparently, hiding:
That the Senate is not a court of law does not change the reality that Dr. Ford's allegations have put Judge Kavanaugh on trial before the nation. A sitting federal judge and Supreme Court nominee has been accused of committing a violent crime. Dr. Ford, to her credit, offered her testimony to the Judiciary Committee, notwithstanding attempts at obstruction by her attorneys and Senate Democratic leadership. The testimony hinges on evidence to which Dr. Ford has repeatedly referred — some of which has already been provided to a nationally circulated newspaper — but which you have refused to provide to the Senate.
Ford Friend: She Never Coached Me Meanwhile, the good friend of Ford’s denied that the research psychologist coached her on taking a polygraph, Fox News reported.
“I have NEVER had Christine Blasey Ford, or anybody else, prepare me, or provide any other type of assistance whatsoever in connection with any polygraph exam I have taken at anytime,” Monica McClean said.
Ford’s former flame also said she never discussed a sexual assault, Brett Kavanaugh or never showed or mentioned claustrophobia or fear of flying.
This, too, directly contradicts Ford’s sworn testimony, as does a major report from Real Clear Investigations, which proved that Ford’s testimony about why she added a front door to her home can’t be true.
One of Ford’s attorneys, Michael Bromwich, who sat next to Ford during her tearful testimony, tweeted a furious answer to the latest questions about this client’s veracity: “A vicious, vile and soulless attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Is it any wonder that she was terrified to come forward, and that other sexual assault survivors are as well?” ________________________________________________________________
Ford's flawed testimony, trial lawyer breaks down contradictions
Christine Ford's contradictory testimony is raising serious doubts among senators and legal experts alike. One America's Pearson Sharp spoke with experienced trial lawyer Robert Barnes, who breaks down the many problems with Ford's story.
