Meh, sounds too "preachy" for me, but with that aside...
( 1 ) Actually this run isn't too bad, just make sure to include a counteroffer made by a repersentive of Brackhaven to turn over the footage and replace it with an "edited" copy.
( 2 ) Doesn't really fly for me, although the tape would shake things up and be bad PR, unless something else was going on to have racial tensions at a boiling point this is just plain crazy.
( 3 ) Ok, why in the nine hells would they bother to use a fake ork? There are plenty of SINless orks who would be willing to do the deed, knowingly or not... Also unless this job literally comes on the tail of the "murder" (And hence your paperwork angle would need to be reworked.) Brackhaven doesn't stand to actually gain anything by pretending to be dead. So what if a high risk politician uses body doubles in the middle of race riots where he is the number one target?
Also something to remember is that like him or not, Brackhaven was elected and I don't remember reading anything that even hints that he had to "steal" the election in order to do so. Making him out to be a cheesy mustache twirling cliche is a huge diservious to the setting as a whole.
Yes he is a monster, but he's the dangerous kind.

Good points. I will make sure to have racial tensions very high before starting this whole thing.
2) The Brackhavens are actively trying to 'ham up' the martyr machine to it's full extent. They are using all the media stuff at their disposal to make the racial tensions as bad as possible.
3) The idea behind it is, with the confessions, the Brackhaven name is almost compleatly ruined. That group that they run (Brackhaven's investment AA corp) is going down the crapper fast, and they don't know what to do. So, it's the old diversion tactic. They pretend to kill Brackhaven off (his political carreer is pretty much dead anyway) and martyr him, which rallies support for them and prevents their company from dying. They care nothing about the huge racial tention that they create or the riots, in the end, they are trying to save their own butt, like any other megacorp.
