(Brett Kavanaugh, Georgetown Prep school classmate Chris Garrett)
Is this a case of mistaken identity? Accuser Christine Blasey Ford is waging a war on Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh with decades-old, unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault in an effort to derail his confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Judge Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations and even told Senator Orin Hatch he wasn’t at the party in question.
Ed Whelan, Justice Scalia’s former law clerk and president of conservative think tank the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), came out in defense of Brett Kavanaugh and said compelling evidence will come out next week exonerating Kavanaugh.
On Thursday afternoon, Ed Whelan started dropping pictures and evidence that may blow Christine Ford’s case wide open.
The “Maryland suburban home”–the scene of the alleged sexual assault described by Christine Ford to WaPo as being ‘not too far from the Columbia Country Club’ may have belonged to Kavanaugh’s friend named Chris Garrett, says Ed Whelan.
Follow this thread by Whelan…
Dr. 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.
— Ed Whelan (@EdWhelanEPPC) September 20, 2018
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. None of the four lived in the vicinity of the Columbia Country Club.

Kavanaugh’s home was 3.6 miles away; Smyth’s 4.3 miles; Judge’s 10 miles; and the female classmate’s 7 miles.

The floor plan corresponds closely to Ford’s description of the house where the gathering took place. Here’s the “short stair well” (part of a U-shaped staircase with landing) running up from the foyer next to the living room. pic.twitter.com/jEceJiiHNk

Who lived in this house? Chris Garrett, a Georgetown Prep classmate, friend, and football teammate of Brett Kavanaugh’s.

Garrett and Kavanaugh looked a lot alike in high school.
Folks who knew both Kavanaugh and Garrett in high school have commented on how much they resembled each other in appearance. Here are Kavanaugh and Garrett in their senior yearbook photos. pic.twitter.com/9VmLL3zNq9

Here they are now…
And here are Kavanaugh and Garrett now. pic.twitter.com/Yi9iI1yRHH

Ed Whelan went on to say, “If you’re at a gathering of “four others” in someone’s home, you’d ordinarily think that the four others include the host who lives in the home. And that host would be the person least likely to act like a guest and most likely to use private areas of the house.”
“If the gathering was at Garrett’s house and Garrett was there, then one of the “four others” wasn’t there.” Whelan continued.
Ed Whelan concluded his tweetstorm saying, “To be clear, I have no idea what, if anything, did or did not happen in that bedroom at the top of the stairs, and I therefore do not state, imply or insinuate that Garrett or anyone else committed the sexual assault that Ford alleges. Further, if Ford is now mistakenly remembering Garrett to be Kavanaugh, I offer no view whether that mistaken remembrance dates from the gathering or developed at some point in the intervening years.”
Bottom line: I believe that a fair assessment of this evidence powerfully supports Judge Kavanaugh’s categorical denial.

Feinstein is refusing to give Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley the unredacted letter Christine Ford sent Senate Democrats in July further fueling suspicions there is exculpatory evidence in the letter.

Commit Fineswine to the home for demented senators. Don't forget to change her diaper.
Ford lied on purpose. She needs to be jailed, and Senators, Congress people who bought her story should be expelled. Time for us to fight FIRE with FIRE. Enough of these convenient "innocent" mistakes. The left is not innocent

You don't? Supposedly it was his house and he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl and you don't care what he has to say about it?

At this point, speculating someone else was guilty of the charge in the national spotlight is pretty dangerous.

Ed Whelan apologized for "posting the tweet thread in a way that identified Kavanaugh's Georgetown Prep classmate," Chris Garrett.
He did not apologize for the general content of the thread.
It may well be that Whelan has more information than he posted to the thread. He identified a specific house and provided its floor plan that corresponded with Blasey Ford's recollection for the alleged incident house. It seems likely that somebody led him to look at that specific house. It seems unlikely that he just went to Zillow or Trulia or somesuch and happened upon a floorplan that matched, and a student friend of Kavanaugh just happened to have lived there back when.
Whelan's thread included the disclaimer,

Seems to be pretty much the standardized response from the Trump Cult on any issue relating to morality.

Amen
If it can be proven she lied intentionally, she should be shot by a firing squad, on FOX, for the world to watch.

As it currently stands, I am not sure it can be proven that Blasey Ford has said a mumbling word. Other than the letter to Feinstein, all releases have been by an attorney. The only public copy of the Feinstein letter is redacted and indicates it was issued by "In confidence, REDACTED." Thus far, Feinstein has refused to release an unredacted copy of that letter to Grassley.
It is generally assumed that Feinstein's office performed the redactions prior to release. It seems possible that the letter was redacted by attorney for Blasey Ford and forwarded to Feinstein in redacted form as an attachment to a letter from the attorney. This may explain why Feinstein refuses to release the original unredacted letter.

Trump's cult has.
Clinton (and Obama) lowered the bar into the mud.
Trump just uses a snorkel.

FACT: Donald Trump's signature gave approval for a $250,000,000.00 deal with convicted felon and racketeer:FELIX SATER
====================
3.) MOGILEVICH lieutenant, 7.) Mikhael Sheferovsky (aka Michael SATER), had a son named 8.) FELIX SATER (sometimes Satter), who ended up having, predictably, ties to the Russian mafia; FELIX SATER was involved in an at least $41 million (and up to $60 million) stock fraud and money laundering scheme and ran it in the mid- 1990s from an office in II.) 40 Wall St., another TRUMP-owned property. We know this scheme involved the Russian mafia, but the details of that case remain sealed because SATER later cooperated with the U.S. government on national security issues

Eph 5:11-14
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."
NIV
