Did the Deep State Recruit Christine Blasey Ford? bit.ly/2ErLNJT
"The revelation that Christine Blasey Ford’s high school friend and onetime adult roommate, Monica McLean, happens to be a former FBI agent may have raised so few eyebrows because we’ve grown accustomed to finding the FBI lurking in the background of major news stories."
"McLean, a high-school classmate of Ford’s who is also a lawyer, first became part of the story when an ex-boyfriend of Ford’s released a letter identifying her as Ford’s “life-long best friend”—a description neither woman has denied. "
"He went on to claim that when he was dating Ford sometime in the 1990s, Ford coached her then-roommate on how to take a polygraph while McLean was looking for jobs with the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office."
"So when the ex-FBI agent’s name first appeared, there was no reason to suspect that she had any involvement in Ford’s present-day attempt to block Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, (which, regardless of whether Ford is acting in good faith, is what she attempted).
"And therefore, no reason to think that McLean’s FBI background was in any way relevant."
"For example, in a 2009 press release, Monica McLean is identified as an FBI public information officer working alongside then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, @PreetBharara."
"If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because Bharara cried like a baby last year after being fired by incoming AG Sessions. Bharara implied corrupt motives were behind his dismissal, though there was nothing surprising or unusual about the move."
"New administrations commonly replace U.S. attorneys brought in by their predecessors. In fact, that’s how Bharara got the job from Barack Obama, after spending four years as chief counsel @SenSchumer, the man who recommended him to the former president."
".If you’re wondering what Bharara has been doing since he lost his job, @intelligencer did a profile in October 2017 headlined, @PreetBharara is now in the Trump-opposition business.”
"Moreover, the FBI press release which tells us that McLean worked with this leading figure in the so-called resistance against President Trump, identifies one Jim Margolin as working alongside her in the public information office."
"Margolin’s LinkedIn page says that in 2013 he switched jobs and started working directly under Bharara as his chief public information officer. Unlike Monica McLean, Margolin didn’t resign when Trump took office, nor was he fired like Bharara."
"And, since the U.S. Attorney’s Southern District, New York office is prosecuting Trump’s onetime lawyer Michael Cohen, you’ll find Monica McLean’s ex-partner’s name in any number of stories explaining the details of Cohen’s legal travails."
"So, if the relationship between Christine Blasey Ford and Monica McLean is mere coincidence, it runs much deeper than McLean’s past work for the FBI. "
The lifelong friend of Ford, who is at the center of the Dems’ attempt to block Kavanaugh spent years working closely with someone who was Chuck Schumer’s right-hand man until Barack Obama made him U.S. attorney and is now a leading figure in the “resistance” against Trump."
"During much of that time, Ford’s schoolmate and former adult roommate was partnered with another man who is now intimately involved in Independent Counsel Robert Mueller’s attempt to pressure Michael Cohen into providing him with something that can be used against the president"
"Besides discovering links between McLean and some of Trump’s prominent enemies formerly and currently collecting a federal paycheck, other evidence strongly suggests McLean played yet another even more active role in Ford’s attempt to block Kavanaugh. "
"In her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ford said that she flew to Rehoboth, Delaware on July 26, composing her famous letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct on July 30 while still there."
"It turns out that Rehoboth is McLean’s current hometown.

Though her parents’ vacation home amply explains Ford’s presence in Rehoboth, it doesn’t explain why she chose to write the pivotal letter describing her allegations there."
"And, there are good reasons to think that her dear friend Monica McLean’s proximity likely played a role in that decision."
"Indeed, even if Ford hadn’t been in McLean’s hometown when she composed the letter, it would still be strange if McLean didn’t give her some advice on it."
"Besides being a close friend since at least high school and their history as roommates, Monica McLean is, after all, also an attorney who worked as an FBI agent and spokesperson. "
Ford was also flanked by two Washington-based attorneys when she appeared before the Senate Judiciary committee, Debra Katz and @mrbromwich
Bromwich has a very long history of working for the fed government in Democratic administrations and projects, going all the way back to the 1980s when he assisted Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh in his investigation of the Reagan Admin’s involvement in the Iran-Contra affair.
Bromwich was part of the 3-person team that successfully prosecuted Oliver North, only to have his conviction overturned on appeal. He later became the DOJ's IG under Bill Clinton, and Obama’s pick as the first director of his newly created Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
Before joining Ford’s legal team, Bromwich worked for the anti-Trump resistance on the sidelines, as is amply demonstrated by his Twitter feed.
Monica McLean needed an attorney of her own, she hired David Laufman as her lawyer, who is another entry in the long list of FBI agents and high-level Justice officials who’ve either resigned, retired, been demoted, or, like McCabe, fired since Trump moved into the White House.
Laufman’s position was chief of the counterintel and export control section in the National Security Division at the DOJ, means he “would have had a hand in the approval of” the FISA application to spy on Trump’s hapless campaign advisor, Carter Page."
It gets better. Laufman also ran the investigation into Hillary’s Clinton’s private email server. Laufman even interviewed Clinton herself together with @PeteStrzok. And, the two also teamed up to interview Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and 2 other lesser-known Clinton aides
