Conservative lawyer accuses Kavanaugh classmate and lookalike Chris Garrett of being Christine Ford's alleged attacker
Ed Whelan, the president of a conservative think tank and a former law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia, has been promising a silver-bullet exoneration of Brett Kavanaugh, the alleged drunken teen sex pest, all week long. Kavanaugh was all set to sail into the Supreme Court until Dr. Christine Ford, a California psychologist, accused him of trying to rape her at a house party in the early 1980s, when she was 15 and he 17. Whelan's shot finally came this evening in the form of a tweetstorm that suggests a Kavanaugh classmate and lookalike, Chris Garrett, was the attacker Ford describes.
His theory is reproduced verbatim here in full, because it's absolutely batshit and may not be on Twitter long. (Whelan has doxxed foolishly in the past and had to grovel accordingly for such "uncharitable conduct".)
Read the restDr. Ford may well have been the victim of a severe sexual assault by someone 36 years ago. Her allegations are so vague as to such basic matters as when and where that it is impossible for Judge Kavanaugh to *prove* his innocence
But there are compelling reasons to believe his categorical denial. Let's look at one set of reasons.
According to Ford's letter, the assault occurred "in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and four others." Her WaPo account adds that the house was "not far from" the Columbia Country Club.
The "four others" that she and her lawyer have identified are Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, P.J. Smyth, and a female classmate of Ford's.
