What if that kid IS the assailant?
I do find it interesting that in a NYT story she called an old friend and asked her if she remembers her talking about the event at the time and the girl said “no”. It suggests that something like this really did happen and that she was sincere in 2012. But remember, in 2012 there were no names attached.
The tweet, in a way, shows just how ridiculous this whole thing is. I can imagine the guy that lived there admitting that he made out with a girl and it may have been her, but it was nothing like what she describes and, yes, he never got to second base.
I’m pretty sure that engaging in “what if” is going to make Ed Whalen the target of a libel suit. In fact, I’m sure if it.
She did not mention this in 2012 until after Mitt Romney floated Kavanaugh's name on a short-list of possible Supreme Court nominations.
This has been all about stopping Kavanaugh, even back in 2012.
I think you are right. Whalen’s tweet did go a bit far in naming the look-alike to Brett. In retrospect, it may have been better to let Kavanaugh’s lawyers in on the information and they could evaluate whether and how to utilize it when Ford appears.
Whalen’s theory does have merit, however. Personally, I think some incident happened, but nothing as bad a Ford is saying. Perhaps it is mistaken identity. Even so, it was probably a case of teenagers petting, and she got sacred. She was only 15 years old and should not have been drinking and at a party with two older boys who were only 17.
It is a tempest in a tea pot, and is only being resurrected to stop Kavanaugh.
She is rumored to have sent the same accusation to Feinstein when Neil Gorsuch was nominated. That needs to be investigated.
