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 Ford’s 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."

...no producer or director would buy this script. If one does, he or she will have to do the opposite of what Hollywood normally does and unembellish this whole saga. It's absolute madness.

6. Judiciary Repugnants' Orchestrated Ford Smear...

was orchestrated by resume puffing accused sexual abuser.

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

Sources familiar with the situation said Ventry was let go from Bell’s office after parts of his résumé were found to have been embellished, and because he faced an accusation of sexual harassment from a female employee of the North Carolina General Assembly's Republican staff...

... A company spokesman told NBC News, "Garrett was on a leave of absence from the company and as of this morning we have accepted his resignation."

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 Kennedy’s retirement.

Politico reported Friday that CRC was behind conservative activist Ed Whelan’s 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 Kavanaugh’s 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.
