      I'm not sure I understand you exactly. Because Whelan is credible? Or connected? Or something else?

      Connected. I can't imagine he's tweeting this without knowing this person is about to come forward or something.

      Hmm, interesting. It hadn't struck me the other guy might be in on it somehow. While I have you, since I know you're from DC: how many houses in that area do you think share a similar layout? My guess would be many.

      That's a pretty common looking house. If that's all he has, it's weak. But I find it hard to believe.

      So he knows Garrett is going to come forward and decided to get ahead of it? That seems... unlikely.

      I mean, maybe, but just posting this without something behind it seems equally odd. No?

      Real question here is if Ed is the lone ranger here or this is was vetted with his Federalist Society/Trump Administration/Judicial Confirmation Network allies. I'd bet on lone ranger because this is both loony AND counterproductive (makes case for FBI investigation compelling)

          Yeah, I'm with Rick here. There's absolutely no way that he knows anything--Garrett won't be coming out and admitting a damn thing because there's no SOL in Maryland for sexual assault. This is literal lunacy.

          He may be connected, but more than that, he has a strong, strong agenda. I don't think it's coincidental that this was tweeted mere hours after Dr. Ford's attorneys said that she'd be willing to testify next week. They didn't think she would.

          I swear this is the last tweet. The guy who Whelan is "accusing" is a middle school teacher. Literally 0% chance he's about to come forward and confess to attempted rape.

          Yeah. But I'm having trouble believing the other side of it: Whelan just went on Zillow and came up with this guy.

          To Raffi's point, without more, yes, Whelan's thread is a disaster. He's corroborated Ford's claim that she was in Kavanaugh's social circle and at parties with his close friends. That said, I think Rick is right: Whelan is drunk on his own wine.https://twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status/1042910770818940928 …

          Unless you accept the latter part of this tweet--i.e., drunken teenagers will abide by etiquette and not go to other areas of the house--then the most this thread suggests is that the assault took place at the house of Kavanaugh's good friend and football teammate Chris Garrett. https://twitter.com/EdWhelan123/status/1042899156837322752 …

          I'm more skeptical than you guys are that this is Lone Whelan. Buy, hey, we can add that to the FBI investigation, too.
