From the same cretins who turned Swift-Boats into a verb — we now have their latest entree: the Anyone But Brett, did it Alibi.
Otherwise known as: Lets do a ‘virtual line-up’ to confuse the “jury pool” from the Party of Gropers (aka the Old Geezer Party).
CRC Public Relations, a powerhouse conservative firm, guided Ed Whelan on a bad Twitter adventure.

After suggesting on Twitter on Tuesday that he had obtained information that would exculpate Kavanaugh from the sexual assault allegation made by Christine Blasey Ford, Whelan worked over the next 48 hours with CRC and its president, Greg Mueller, to stoke the anticipation. A longtime friend of Kavanaugh’s, Whelan teased his reveal — even as he refused to discuss it with other colleagues and close friends, a half dozen of them said. At the same time, he told them he was absolutely confident the information he had obtained would exculpate the judge.
The hype ping-ponged from Republicans on Capitol Hill to Kavanaugh’s team in the White House, evidence of an extraordinarily successful public relations campaign that ultimately backfired when Whelan’s theory — complete with architectural drawings and an alleged Kavanaugh doppelgänger — landed with a thud on Twitter Thursday evening.
The coordinated effort was a testament to the far-reaching but frenzied attempt among conservatives to save Kavanaugh, which appeared to have spun out of the White House’s control. Indeed, Whelan told associates that he had kept his friend Kavanaugh and those working with him in the White House in the dark about his plans.

Let the GOP Photoshopping continue …
The resemblance to Truth-aversion — is uncanny.
It could be anyone … ?
It could be anyone in Brett’s social circle, just ask Mark Judge …
Oh wait you can’t. He got an “excuse from his Mommy” — to be out sick that day.
For the record, Dr Ford destroyed the CRC-Whelan plot, by simply explaining she knew the ‘alternate Groper’ they were blaming — and that there was no way, no how. No Alibi for Kavanaugh.

If seems that CRC Public Relations has a long history of “tainting” public opinion, for unpalatable Conservative causes. Here’s a brief sampling of their documented deviance …
Meet the shadowy PR firm working to confirm Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.

Since then, CRC [Public Relations] has been behind the curtain for nearly every conservative cause, including the National Organization for Marriage, the Family Research Council and the Republican Party itself. During the development of the Affordable Care Act, current Florida Gov. Rick Scott tapped CRC to help roll out ads describing the horrors of socialized medicine in Canada and the United Kingdom. In 2009, as America debated the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, CRC reportedly sent more than 60 emails to a Washington Post reporter offering editorials, quotes describing the justice as an extremist and “a Web posting accusing Obama of race-baiting in selecting her.”

CRC’s role in the campaign to confirm Kavanaugh, too, appears to go beyond pitch emails. The Judicial Crisis Network, a conservative legal organization that reportedly spent $10 million on the campaign to confirm Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch last year, has already announced $3.8 million in spending to air pro-Kavanaugh ads in Alabama, Indiana, North Dakota and West Virginia — states where senators could be wavering on their confirmation vote. According to the group’s most recent tax filing, the Judicial Crisis Network paid CRC $1.4 million for public relations from July 2015 through June 2016. The “about” page of the Judicial Crisis Network’s website directs queries to CRC.

The campaign around Kavanaugh, for example, meticulously stresses his qualifications, his impartiality and, especially, his support of women. Eighteen of his female former clerks signed an open letter stating that he “has been one of the strongest advocates in the federal judiciary for women lawyers.” These messages are specifically targeted at wavering Republican and Democratic senators and meant to convey the idea that he would not overturn Roe v. Wade.
Here’s an idea for the Grand Ole Gropers Party — Why don’t you nominate Candidates who actually have a broad base of support with the American people. Quit trying to force Americans to adopt your closed-minded Agenda.
You know, Live and Let Live. You do your thing — I’ll do mine.
You could save yourself Millions if you don’t have to “make palatable” your dog-food for the masses, in every election. Maybe it’s time you finally let go of all your “Hot Button Issues” …
Because you see CRC, the vast majority of Americans aren’t having it. No way, No how. No Thank you.
Let your recent debacle be your guide ...
Matt Whitlock, deputy chief of staff to Sen. Orrin Hatch (R.-Utah), directed people to Whelan’s Twitter feed on Wednesday in a tweet of his own and later deleted his tweet.
“Keep an eye on Ed’s tweets the next few days,” Whitlock wrote.
OK, if Team Kavanaugh has something else to sell us, that ballot-box demo, maybe we should check it out:
Sorry “Bad Ole Boy Defenders” — the American People aren’t buying your devious crap anymore.
Wake up and smell the Unemployment Line, on Election day. Your con days are numbered.
