Ford's "beach friend" worked for a loyal Chuck Schumer ally.
It appears what we all suspected was true. There has been a greater level of coordination to taking Judge Kavanaugh than the media reported. Senator Chuck Grassley, yesterday, sent a new letter to Dr. Ford's attorneys that curiously asks for communications between the Ford, Ramirez, and Swetnick teams.
On top of that, it turns out that Christine Blasey Ford's "beach friend" is none other than Monica McLean. She just so happened to be the spokeswoman for Preet Bharara, the former Obama US Attorney tossed out by Trump. He not only has turned aggressively partisan against Trump, but he was a top deputy and trusted aid to Senator Chuck Schumer.
Now, because of the FBI investigation, we know that Monica McLean texted Ford friend Leland Keyser. Keyser claims no memory of the event and also said she never knew Brett Kavanaugh. McLean's texts pressure Keyser into "clarify[ing]" away her story. The Wall Street Journal is breaking that news this morning.
Republican Senators are feeling more and more confident that Chuck Schumer did have a hand in this entire roll out and that it was not Dianne Feinstein's office that leaked the Ford letter, but people close to Schumer.
