Christine Blasey Ford Hires Andrew McCabe Lawyer Who Was Iran Contra Assoc. Counsel
[Gateway Pundit] The Deep State push to block the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh just got reinforcements with the hiring by accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford of Michael Bromwich, a lawyer representing fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and whose work in Washington goes back to the Iran Contra investigation where he served as Associate Counsel and prosecuted Oliver North. Bromwich also heads a consulting firm that specializes in crisis and government investigation communications.
Poor Deb Katz, back to the dugout. Perhaps the "butch hair and school shooter eyes" were a beltway, crooked media turn off.
CNN Justice Department reporter Laura Jarrett, the daughter of Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, broke the news Saturday afternoon on Twitter, "News ‐ former DOJ inspector general Michael Bromwich has joined Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team. (Note he also represents former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe). He has just resigned from his law firm effective immediately in light of objections within the partnership." (Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP)

#1 bad timing by Bromwich as another identified 'witness' (the only female identified by Ford) denied having even met Kavanaugh late yesterday

#8 I hear they also want Ford's testimony to appear *after* Brett's. That way he won't be allowed to defend himself against any additional accusations they pull out of their ass.

#10 A little surprised she did not hire Anita Hill; but I would bet Anita shows up to sit behind her during testimony.

#11 So who is paying Bromwich? He quit his job to take this gig. There must be some Soros Slush in there, somewhere.

#12 Ford's husband might be doing alright but I don't believe he's the one paying for the lawyer any more than I believe Kavanaugh assaulted her. grom asks a very good question.

#18 Below quote from sources reported via Fox News. All 5 witnesses have no knowledge of any alleged sexual assault nor did they see young Kavanaugh at the alleged party. All stated this in either written depositions or telephonically under other. Who's left, Prof Ford ?

"All five witnesses Dr. Ford places at scene have weighed in, now all but Ford say the incident didn’t happen. The four she names besides herself contradict her. Last witness, Leland Keyser, says she doesn’t know #Kavanaughhttps://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/22/kavanagh-ford-woman-party-letter- Sep 22, 2018 Woman denies attending party where alleged Kavanaugh assault occurred Leland Keyser said she does not know Kavanaugh or remember being at a party with him. politico.com"

#21  Who are Ford and Katz? Soros connection.

Not just kooks out of left field who popped up but a well-organized effort to AnitaHillize Kavanaugh.

Eohippus Dribble5682, your Soros connection link gave me a 404 Cannot Find error. A search of the term “George Soros” there does give back lots of links, but it isn’t clear to me which you meant.
