Garrett Ventry, 29, who served as a communications aide to the committee chaired by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, had been helping coordinate the majority party's messaging in the wake of Christine Blasey Fords claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her 36 years ago at a high school party. In a response to NBC News, Ventry denied any past "allegations of misconduct."

Connecting the dots to Grassley's gang and their coordinated attack is pretty simple (bolding mine)...

CRC counts among its clients the Federalist Society, the conservative group that President Donald Trump used to select his pick for the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Anthony Kennedys retirement.
Politico reported Friday that CRC was behind conservative activist Ed Whelans suggestion that he had evidence that a classmate of Kavanaugh had been the perpetrator of the attack on Blasey Ford.
After tweeting and posting photographs and Google maps implicating Kavanaughs classmate, Whelan faced considerable backlash, including a statement from Blasey Ford herself saying there was zero chance she would confuse the two men. Whelan was forced to apologize.
