Actually, this whole mess coy have been avoided had Ford simply reported this to law enforcement decades ago.

People didn't report attempted date rape to the police in the 80s. Be serious.

This. Especially when there were entitled white prep school boys involved.

It looks like Whelan knew Ford's identity before it was publicly released.

On Sunday, Ford noticed that — even before her name became public — Whelan appeared to be seeking information about her.

That morning, Ford alerted an associate via email that Whelan had looked at her LinkedIn page, according to the email, which was reviewed by The Post. LinkedIn allows some subscribers to see who views their pages. Ford sent the email about 90 minutes after The Post shared her name with a White House spokesman and hours before her identity was revealed in a story posted on its website.

A White House spokesman said Friday that neither Kavanaugh nor anyone in the White House gave Ford’s name to Whelan before it was disclosed by The Post. Whelan did not respond to a request for comment on how he first learned of Ford’s identity.

Can someone explain this?

I thought her Linked In had been scrubbed along with everything else. Some people were able to get to an archived copy of her Linked In, which takes some knowledge and skill, but would she have been able to get an alert of people accessing an archived copy? If so she must have gotten thousands of alerts once her name was released.

It takes a lot of work and knowledge to scrub yourself from the internet. It doesn't seem credible that she managed to do it all between hearing from Whelan and the Post disclosure. Even people who are very tech savvy run into difficulties--like forgetting their passwords that allow them to disable their accounts. This is why people often hire firms to do the scrubbing.

She hired security before the WaPo article. That's what they do.

Precisely.

And in fact, according to the original WaPo article she knew her name was out there much earlier--a Buzzfeed reporter attempted to talk to her as she left a classroom, presumably on Friday. So the article claiming she received an alert about Whelan accessing her Linked In on Sunday makes no sense--her Linked In could not have been live at that point.

This isn't my field, but I am pretty sure she would not have received an alert about Whelan accessing her archived Linked In page. The archive was no doubt the way reporters armed with her name were able to track her down at her university.

It's not clear, but presumably she emailed her associate sometime after the fact. Possibly days?

so you think she's just lying, whereas you just get to make up any facts you want?

It says she looked at her Linked In page on Sunday and noticed Whelan tried to view it. That would not have been possible if she had scrubbed it. And we are pretty sure she hired a professional to scrub her out of the internet unless she is unusually compute savvy. Scrubbing a name as thoroughly from the internet as her name has been scrubbed simply cannot be done in a matter of hours on a Sunday.

The point of the story seems to be to suggest that the White House leaked her name to Whelan because Ford sent the email recording Whelan's attempt 90 minutes after the Post revealed her name to the White House.

The story simply is not plausible and does not line up with the Post's original story breaking her name as it is clear from that her name was out there a few days earlier, the reason given for her deciding to go public on Sunday.

This is an effort on the part of the Wapo reporters to establish a link between Whelan and the White House. It does not succeed.

Nope--the story likely came from the "associate" mentioned in the article. Both sides of this story seem to have a number of people who are trying to help out one or the other and who can't seem to help tripping up in their bungled efforts.

Her Linkedin page has not been scrubbed - I just pulled it up. It uses an initial for her name but the page is still intact.
