Name This with Update!

Ed Whelan is a lawyer, former Scalia law clerk and head of a legal foundation. Here argues that Dr. Ford's accusation against Judge Kavanaugh is a case of mistaken identity. Whelan even names names. There is some very interesting detective work here.  

The above seems,  I dunno, sketchy isn't the right word, maybe speculative? It also seems very actionable from a slander perspective*.

Still, Whelan is a lawyer, former law clerk, and head of a legal foundation. Its probably not a good idea to file suit against him.

We suspect more is coming.

Update: Whelan says naming names was wrong, but does not actually recant.

*What, you think a writer doesn't know a thing or two about libel law?
