Kavanaugh report’s biggest bombshells: Grassley probe reveals details behind mistaken identity claims, more
Senator Grassley
Posted at the request of AnotherPat.
Weeks after Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation — and the sexual assault allegations against him — captured the country’s attention, the Senate Judiciary Committee has released a massive report on those accusations that’s largely flown under the radar in the run-up to the midterms.
But the 414-page document, authored by the Republican majority and released over the weekend, contains a number of key revelations.
Among them: the report summarizes a statement from a man who believes he may have been involved in an encounter with Christine Blasey Ford around the time of her claim of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh. Some of this emerged during the Supreme Court confirmation process, but the report provides more details.
Ford was the key witness against Kavanaugh. In detail, she said Kavanaugh tried to remove her clothing during a high school party, but had trouble because she was wearing a bathing suit underneath them. She said she ran off when Kavanaugh friend Mark Judge jumped on top of them and they fell off the bed. Kavanaugh denied the accusation and, on Oct. 6, the Senate confirmed him to the Supreme Court.
The man who claims he may have had the encounter with Ford was one of 40 people committee investigators interviewed as part of its probe into the sexual allegations against Kavanaugh, which was done alongside the FBI background check that was compiled in a matter of days.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in releasing the report, said there “was no credible evidence to support the allegations against” Kavanaugh.
Ford testified she was 100 percent positive Kavanaugh assaulted her, rejecting the notion of a case of mistaken identity.

Witness Tampering?
Committee investigators are in the process of trying to determine if Ford friend Monica McLean, a former FBI employee, tampered with a witness.
“Several media outlets have reported that the FBI’s supplemental report indicated that Leland Keyser, a friend of Dr. Ford, felt pressure from Dr. Ford’s allies to revisit her initial statement to the Committee that she did not know Justice Kavanaugh or have any knowledge of the alleged incident,” the report says.
Ford said that when Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party, Keyser was one of the people downstairs.
The report added that according to the news articles, Keyser reported that McLean and others contacted her to suggest she “clarify” her account.
McLean’s attorney did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Mistaken Identity at Yale?
The report summarizes an interview with a Yale grad who said that a member of Kavanaugh’s fraternity — who was not Kavanaugh — had a reputation for exposing himself publicly.
The man was interviewed after Deborah Ramirez told the New Yorker that Kavanaugh had thrust his penis in her face when they were at Yale. She said she was drunk and wasn’t sure it was Kavanaugh until she thought about it for a week and spoke to her attorney. Kavanaugh vehemently denied her accusation.
The reports says the man, whose name was redacted, also provided a yearbook photo of the frat brother exposing himself.
The report says the man said he had personally witnessed the flasher expose himself at a party and that the flasher was in the same residential college as Ramirez.
Ford Friends
The report summarizes a statement from William Rand, who went to the University of North Carolina with Ford and told investigators that Ford had a very robust and active social life.
His statement seemingly was at odds with Ford’s assertions that she had a difficult time making friends due to her encounter with Kavanaugh, according to the report.
“He also stated that Dr. Ford did not seem to be afraid to be in rooms or apartments with only one entrance, which contradicts her claim to the Committee that she had to build a second front door to her house due to the trauma of the alleged assault,” the report says.
DOJ Referrals
The report also says that the committee has referred four people to the Justice Department for criminal investigation.
They are a Rhode Island man who recanted an allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman on a boat in Newport in 1985; Judy Munro Leighton, who claimed to have written an anonymous letter asserting Kavanaugh forced her to have oral sex; and Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick and her attorney Michael Avenati, who also represents the porn actress Stormy Daniels.
Avenatti told Fox News that the Grassley report was “garbage.”
”There is no evidence my client or I did anything wrong,” he said. “We are still waiting and hoping the FBI fully investigates this matter. Chuck evidently doesn’t have any juice.”
The creepy porn lawyer hasn’t had a lot of luck lately either, and I’m good with that. Thanks Pat, for the request. We do listen to you folks, and do our best to meet expectations.

Avenatti is Gloria Allred as a cross dresser.
Avanti makes Allred look almost ethical.
And if the report had said anything that supported his client or the charges against Kavanaugh it would be “see! The report tells the truth! Impeach Kavanaugh!”
Such a scumbag and the epitome of the ambulance chasing shark.
Censure Feinstein and any of her colleagues that had a hand in the shenanigans.
Censure? Impeach
I say prosecute ALL of them to the fullest extent of the law. We had talked about this; the truth was out there somewhere. Maybe the big hammer will come down after today. Have been a victim of false accusations. Funny, sometimes, how that whole guilty till proven innocent works.
“[T]he truth was out there somewhere.” That gave me a brain cramp. The truth is that every accuser lied. That’s the truth. And since Justice Kavanaugh wasn’t even given the benefit of a sure year, let alone a date, for Ford’s rape fantasy, not to mention that she said it occurred decades ago, he had no chance whatsoever of proving that he was elsewhere. Everyone was so scared b/c of the nature of the allegation that she was treated like some special creature who could not be doubted. Well, she f’n lied, as far as I am concerned and she did so for the sole purpose of trying to torpedo his nomination. (Yeah, it still pisses me off.)
What is interesting is that Ford scrunt is connected to the FBI via her bff, connected to Clinton campaign, and one of her “lawers” was part of the take out Trump Russia conspiracy (Laufman).
She also raked in nearly a million in GoFundMe donations and is fielding offers for a book deal. For a tenured professor at a private college. So I’m pretty sure she wasn’t hurting for money.
But the media and the lefties repeatedly said “Why would she make this up? There’s nothing in it for her.”
Right…
And the truth is we will never know the whole truth, there will never be anyone prosecuted, and this type of crap will continue. Sad, ain’t it.
If Pelosi and Hillary could conceive of a lesbian love child it would look like Heidi Heitkamp
”There is no evidence my client or I did anything wrong.” The two did a great many things wrong. The sleaze ball wants us to read-in illegal where he said “wrong.” He’s a case study in how not to run a business. I forget how many millions he owes, thanks to adverse judgments against him. He is a POS. As for Chick Ford, there’s too much with respect to the timing of her actions and her curious memory to think, even for an instant, that she made an honest mistake. After her show, I would guess that she’s in therapy seven days a week now and on semi-permanent sabbatical.
What will be interesting is to see how her former “friends” in the DNC deconstruct her once folks forget about her.
People who fail the DNC don’t get fired, they get depersoned. Her fall from hero of the revolution to victim of Che will be an instructive lesson for those capable of learning. That is, I admit, a small fraction of Americans.
”There is no evidence my client or I did anything wrong,” is certainly not the same as saying, “Neither my client nor I did anything wrong.”
That’s a typical Democrat lawyer response when caught doing something illegal.
Avenatti is good, as oil pans go, but he’ll never top BJ Clinton’s “It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.”
A missing point is: Ford received almost $1 million via two Go Fund Me accounts set up on her behalf. Her legal fees were ‘pro bono’. I believe that Ford isn’t confused, she’s bought and paid for.
Grassley will never refer Ford to the DOJ, and if he did, the DOJ would ignore it.
Really, a million? That’s taxable and she lives in California to boot, so she’s looking at roughly, what, 600k? Not bad.
It was close to $900K the last time I looked. Go Fund Me is a way of hiding who’s paying you. I don’t know how the ‘funding’ is taxed, but I assume there is some. We don’t know who set up the two accounts in her mame, or who funded them. She has no restrictions on how the money is used.
Since she received all her expenses, legal, housing in DC, etc., pro bono, the money is free of expense deductions.
It’s a nice way to bribe someone.
I imagine a lot of that money was from people that gave her money thinking “well she’s a woman, she MUST be telling the truth!” and that’s all there was to it.
Same as the shmucks who believe Manning “because transgender!”
It’s taxed as income. It is subject to Federal and state grab.
It’s not a bad pay day for a couple of weeks work.
Since she failed, she’ll fade into the woodwork.
This would make great soap opera material. So Ford can now A ford to pay all those legal fees. All Aford for the next chapter.
The other side getting away with shit is getting quite old….
Too bad we can’ t have firing squads at dawn as an available remedy.
In MD, that statement alone would cost you your guns.
Thank You so much, Ed, for posting this story.
Not surprise that the liberal news media has NOT addressed this..
Liked Senator John Kennedy of LA remarks on Democrats wanting to impeach Judge Kavanaugh:
“You can’t fix stupid, but you can vote them out…”

Thank you for pointing it out in the first place, Pat. It was my pleasure to post it.
“The creepy porn lawyer”
You got that right.
An oozy motherfucker.

As soon as Kavanaugh was put forward, the Democrat Big Machine, which includes the sitting officials, Obama leftovers and the Soros Club put out the call. The call to “Find anything and everything that could even remotely cast aspersions on Kavanaugh. True or false, present or past, any mud, any shit that can be thrown is vigorously sought and will be greatly rewarded.” I believe that is the long understood backroom standing of liberal American politics.
They care not how it shreds a person’s life, family or casts doubts on their integrity and character.
Character and integrity are by and large absent from the left as we see them defend the Clintons, Obama, Holder, Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Corrine Brown and, the list goes on ad infinitum. As well as every far, far, need binoculars far left piece of bullshit any of them can come up with.
This has been their Mo for as long as I remember. It has served them well at the cost of good people’s lives, careers, and reputations and it is more finely tuned with each use.
Sorry for the rant.
BAM..Testify and Rant on. It goes waaaaaaayy back in history.
Would only argue that they did NOT wait until K was named. Their plans were already in place simply waiting for a name to attach to their vitriol. Sure, a few details varied depending upon which particular nominee was named, but the general plan was already in effect.
Signs had been designed (maybe even printed), witnesses lined up, legal counsel secured for those witnesses, stories ready to print, protestors in place, even websites/social media drivers bought/paid for. All they needed was to discover which plan to implement and for that they needed the name.
No, they were ready to go no matter who was named. They still are. They may or may not have sense enough to alter those plans in any way.
Still think it would be funny for Trump to nominate Hillary … watch all the heads explode and then rescind it.
It might be even funnier to nominate Bill…
The progs had form objection to the nominee letters ready with the nominee’s name left blank. They planned to pull this “me too” fraud on whoever Trump appointed to the court.
IMHO there is no low that the left will not stoop to in order to accomplish their agenda and I wasn’t wondering if but when the D-rate were going to throw the sexual misconduct card at Justice Kavanaugh in a cheap shot attempt to derail his Confirmation!
This is my shocked face.
