| Justin Fairfax accuser hires law firm that represented Christine Blasey Ford |
| 2019-02-05 |
| [Wash Examiner] The woman accusing Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault more than a decade ago has hired the law firm that represented Christine Blasey Ford in her allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The woman has retained Katz, Marshall and Banks, a Washington, D.C.-based firm, and is consulting with her attorneys about possible next steps, according to NPR. That same law firm represented Blasey Ford last year during Kavanaugh’s confirmation process when she accused him of assaulting her when they were in high school. Fairfax’s accuser alleges he forced her to perform oral sex when the two had a sexual encounter in his hotel room during the Democratic National Convention in Boston in 2004. Fairfax, a Democrat, has said the encounter they had was "100 percent" consensual. The allegation emerged just as Fairfax could become Virginia’s governor. The state's current chief executive, Ralph Northam, has been battling calls to step down after a picture surfaced from his medical school yearbook that shows one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Northam first apologized for being in that picture, but then said he didn't think he was either person in the picture. |

| #2 Hold it a sec Visitor. Since no reputable lawyer would take Ford's story seriously, I assume this firm is DNC's dirty work lawyers. Which means Fairfax is being punished for something - for being too ambitious and leaking the blackface pic to cut his waiting time for governorship? |
