"Ford alerted an associate via email that Whelan had looked at her LinkedIn page...Ford sent the email about 90 minutes after The Post shared her name with a White House spokesman and hours before her identity was revealed [publicly]"

So he knew before or WH told him

CRC Public Relations, a powerhouse conservative firm, guided Ed Whelan on his Twitter fiasco, according to Politico.

Its current clients include the Federalist Society and the Judicial Crisis Network, the chief outside groups working to confirm Kavanaugh.https://t.co/yzvbGDNXzG

When I ran the Roberts and Alito confirmations Ed Whalen was the singularly most important and effective outside advisor involved in the confirmation effort. He knew every detail when it came to our strategy and everything he did was closely coordinated with the WH effort.

Senator, any comment on your office colluding with Ed Whalen on his smear campaign in ugly, desperate and failing attempt to discredit Christine Ford? Why is your office deleting tweets? pic.twitter.com/3FAbbVKPHe

I have no proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if the other Evil Twin turns out to have been offered some serious money for taking one for the Republican team.
