    Ex-Boyfriend Says Dr. Ford Coached Friend for Polygraph, Had No Fear of Flying

    …………………………………………….

    Grassley asks for Kavanaugh accuser to hand over therapy notes, lie-detector test recordings

    "....Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is asking for Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, to turn over notes from her therapy sessions and recordings of the lie detector test she took.

    Grassley made the request in a letter sent to Ford's attorneys on Tuesday night, according to The Wall Street Journal. The letter also asks for exchanges she's had with the media, and says that he is making the request because her sexual assault claim has "put Judge Kavanaugh on trial before the nation...."

    "...The Journal noted that Grassley also questioned the truthfulness of Ford's testimony in the letter.

    Ford told senators she only discussed the lie-detector test with her lawyers. She also said she did not receive any tips on how to pass a polygraph.

    Grassley said in the letter that the committee had received a sworn statement from an unidentified ex-boyfriend of Ford's that raised "specific concerns about the reliability of her polygraph examination results."

    "The Senate therefore needs this information," he said in the letter...."


    This whole "sham" could pan out to be a total boomerang disaster for the Democrats yet, especially if they can make solid connections to Feinstein and others involved.

    "During Christine Blasey Ford’s Senate testimony alleging Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her, Democrats and Republicans largely agreed she seemed to believe her own story. Kavanaugh himself suggested Ford had probably been attacked but denied he was the culprit.

    As hard as it is to imagine a woman lying about such a thing, the Senate Judiciary Committee should recall someone lied to them about rape less than 10 years ago. And they completely fell for it.

    In 2009, Jamie Leigh Jones told the Committee that four years earlier, on her second night working in Iraq for Halliburton subsidiary KBR (Kellogg, Brown & Root), her drink was spiked at a party and she was gang-raped by a group of Halliburton-employed American firefighters...…

    No one, males, females, all races, religions, vocations, etc, should be exempt from prosecution for breaking the law:

    Is It About Time to Lock Up Christine Ford in a Prison Cell With Two Front Doors?


    "...."The boyfriend, who has since been identified as Brian Merrick, wrote the Judiciary Committee about the relationship:

    – Ford never mentioned sexual assault
    – Ford never mentioned Kavanaugh
    – Ford not scared of confined spaces
    – Ford not scared of flying
    – Ford knew how to beat polygraph
    – Ford cheated on him/committed fraud..."

    "...Ford’s former boyfriend Brian Merrick was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal for their article on Christine Blasey Ford that was published on September 19th — EIGHT DAYS before her testimony in the Judiciary hearing.

    "...And on September 26th, the day before her testimony in Washington DC, the Malibu Times wrote about Ford’s relationship with Brian Merrick.

    Ford was a Malibu resident; she attended Pepperdine University in 1991 and received a master’s degree in clinical psychology. She later taught at the university between 1995 and 1998.

    During this time, she dated fellow Pepperdine student Brian Merrick, who is part of one of Malibu’s founding families as the youngest son of the late Judge John Merrick.

    The two dated for eight years, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. During their relationship, Merrick stated Ford had never mentioned the assault.

    It now appears likely that the Judiciary Committee KNEW that Christine Blasey Ford dated Brian Merrick and KNEW she coached a friend to take a polygraph test years earlier.

    Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell knew this and walked Christine Ford into a nest of lies.
    Via Charles Cooke at National Review:

    it seems clear that Rachel Mitchell knew some of this during last week’s Senate hearing, because she asked Ford two extremely specific questions on the subject of polygraphs. They were:

    MITCHELL: Had — have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?

    FORD: Never.

    And:

    MITCHELL: Have you ever had discussions with anyone, beside your attorneys, on how to take a polygraph?

    FORD: Never.

    Ford also told Mitchell that she was “scared” of the test, and “didn’t expect it to be as long it was going to be.”..."

    "...Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell and the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee knew Ford lied about the polygraph tests.

    Michell gave Christine Ford enough rope to hang herself… And she did...."


    Now my question is have they located/interviewed the one she supposedly coached on how to take a polygraph test?

    News is breaking fast on this:

    Here Are Some Interesting Facts About Christine Ford’s Friend Monica McLean

    "Social media was set ablaze Tuesday night after a former long-time boyfriend of Dr. Christine Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend named Monica McLean on how to take a polygraph examination...."

    "...So who exactly is Monica McLean?

    Monica McLean went to Holton Arms, the same all girls school Christine Ford attended.

    In fact, Monica McLean was one of the 17 women who signed a letter that was sent to Congress on September 17th expressing their support for Ford and opposed Brett Kavanaugh.

    As reported by WaPo:

    To the United States Congress:

    We, of the Holton Arms Class of 1984, are writing on behalf of our friend and classmate, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, to attest to her honesty, integrity, and intelligence; and to contend that her decision to provide information pertaining to a sexual assault is not a partisan act. It is an act of civic duty and the experience she described in her letter needs to be seriously considered. We represent all political parties and we support Christine bringing this matter forward.

    The letter concludes with, “We stand with our friend Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and admire her honesty and resolve on behalf of our nation.”

    Here are the women who signed the letter:

    Allyson Abrams Bergman, Amy Englehardt, Andrea K. Evers, Holly Huelsman Fuller, Sandra Engle Gichner, Daphne Holt, Francine Laden, Monica McLean, Samantha Semerad Guerry, Estela M. Radan, Martha Mispireta Shannon, Lisa Shapiro, Laura Simms Smith, Dana Stewart, M. Sydney Trattner, Virginia White, Stacey Kavounis Wilson

    Monica McLean vouched for Christine Ford’s honesty in a letter to Congress on September 17th; now she is being named as a person who can prove Ford lied under oath.

    Independent journalist Mike Cernovich had a very interesting take on Monica McLean’s duty to come forward with evidence Ford perjured herself being that McClean was an FBI agent.
    Court records show that Monica McLean was an FBI agent in 2000. If McLean remains an agent, and she did not come forward with evidence that Ford perjured herself re: the polygraph, then McLean’s security clearance will be revoked immediately, as she had a legal duty to do so,” Cernovich said.

    “There was a Monica McLean at the SDNY office in 2008. Ford’s ex-boyfriend claimed Ford coached a Monica McLean (same person?) on how to pass a polygraph, which contradicted sworn testimony.”

    “If McLean is an agent, she would have legal duty to inform the FBI of Ford’s perjury,” Cernovich added...."

    A sham yes, but will that mean anything? If some of these Democrats do not vote yes on the nominee and RINO's like Flake, Murkowski, and Collins jump ship that will be the end of Judge Kavenaugh and a Supreme Court position. Of course, Mr. Trump does not help things when he goes after the accuser like he did last night, making statements that just might cause our favorite RINO's to bolt to the no side.

    Several Dem Senators in Red States now know a no vote will cost them their jobs, regardless of how the RINOs vote.

    Fat lady ain't sung yet.

    And yea, sometimes I wish he'd keep his mouth shut.

    Obviously my point was - ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God, no one (except) one human being is exempt from being a sinner.

    But I agree, accusations if proven false should have repercussions.

    Well, well, well. CNN outed the source.

    The man's name was redacted in written declarations obtained by media outlets. CNN has identified him as Brian Merrick. In Merrick's statement he made clear their relationship did not end amicably. Merrick has refused to discuss the allegation with CNN.

    There is an old saying, “If you keep repeating the same lie long enough, you’ll believe it to be true.”
