Did GOP/Kavanaugh conspire with Whelan to dox and accuse an innocent individual of sexual assault

Anonymous
On Sept 18, Ed Whelan (who is friend of Kavanaugh and advisor on his confirmation) tweeted

https://twitter.com/EdWhelanEPPC/status/1042080122071859201

Kavanaugh tells Hatch accusation may be mistaken identity https://www.yahoo.com/news/kavanaugh-tells-hatch-accusation-may-201746510.html


In that link Whelan posted, the news says:

In a statement released by Sen. Orrin Hatch's office, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh told Hatch he was not at a party like the one Christine Blasey Ford described and that Dr. Ford 'may be mistaking him for someone else.'


On Sept 18, there was an Op-Ed on WaPo about a Kavanaugh doppelganger:

Kavanaugh allies started telling reporters to keep an eye on Whelan’s Twitter feed

On Sept 19,

Orrin Hatch's communications director knew about it. He deleted the tweet.




Then Yesterday Ed Whelan posts this elaborate tweeter thread with address/floor plan, picture from HS and now of a Kavanaugh look-alike classmate and insinuate that Dr. Ford could have mistaken this other person for Kavanaugh!

Today Ed Whelan has apologized. But the guy he accused is doxxed and being chased by reporters. For all you know, he would get threats from weirdos very soon. This is highly irresponsible and (I am guessing) could be illegal.

There is no doubt (in my mind) GOP and Kavanaugh conspired with Ed Whelan with this scheme. Why should Kavanaugh not be disqualified because of this?

Don't forget Sen Hatch using the term "mixed up" in referring to "that woman."

This whole mess could have been avoided if they had left the investigation to the FBI, and not the twittersphere.

Relevent article on WaPo today:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gop-vows-to-move-ahead-with-kavanaugh-vote-if-his-accuser-doesnt-testify-monday/2018/09/20/a7132ee8-bcf5-11e8-8792-78719177250f_story.html

Amid the maneuvering, the nomination was roiled further late Thursday by incendiary tweets from a prominent Kavanaugh friend and supporter who publicly identified another high school classmate of Kavanaugh’s as Ford’s possible attacker.

Ed Whelan, a former clerk to the late justice Antonin Scalia and president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, pointed to floor plans, online photographs and other information to suggest a location for the house party in suburban Maryland that Ford described. He also named and posted photographs of the classmate he suggested could be responsible.

Ford dismissed Whelan’s theory in a statement late Thursday: “I knew them both, and socialized with” the other classmate, Ford said, adding that she had once visited him in the hospital. “There is zero chance that I would confuse them.”

Whelan has been involved in helping to advise Kavanaugh’s confirmation effort and is close friends with both Kavanaugh and Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society who has been helping to spearhead the nomination. Kavanaugh and Whelan also worked together in the Bush administration.

Kavanaugh and his allies have been privately discussing a defense that would not question whether an incident involving Ford happened, but instead would raise doubts that the attacker was Kavanaugh, according to a person familiar with the discussions.


Innocent people do not act like this. GOP is about to put another sexual assaulter on the bench.

Just Georgetown Prep boys being the loyal friends they are. Throwing a buddy under the bus because hey Power. omes first (or pus$y if you are the President who today victim shamed the accuser). Women do NOT raise you boys to be men such as these moral cowards.

Please keep this as a separate thread. There should be a separate FBI investigation on this and libel charges filed against Whelan and anyone else who was involved.

How would he know the location of the unnamed girl unless Kavanaugh and Judge know?

If Kavanaugh and Hatch were involved with this, they should be impeached from their current jobs.

Fox and Friends were in this too.

This is something the FBI can research pretty quickly. It is also something the Senators should be asking: Kavanaugh, Whelan, Shine, and the Senate Staffers who teased it. And perhaps the doxxed victim would be willing to come to DC to deny his involvement, if in fact he denies it.

Were they involved with coming up with the theory, or did they just mindlessly repeat it?

No. But it's just another load of Democratic crap I've gotten used to.

The guy Kavanaugh wanted to implicate is one who signed on the character letter for him! Oh Jesus!

Kavanaugh has perjured many time, shady financial dealings, alleged sexual assaulter and may have conspired to dox a friend! What else you would excuse your boy for?

Yeah, Whalen apologized. Not a big deal.

Leonard Leo, Ed Whelan and Orrin Hatsh's communication director should be questioned about this under oath.
