Very little chance the senate would attempt to censure Feinstein, and if they did, she’d just say she was keeping the letter confidential as she promised and that someone else leaked it.
Of course. Something like this doesn’t happen without plausible deniability.
That raises an interesting question. Can a member of Congress sit on pertinent information or are they legally bound to release it?
As a constituent, when I talk to my congressman or senator, are my communications protected and at what level? If I talk to my attorney, I know the communications are typically privileged. If I talk to my accountant, the communications are typically confidential but not privileged. Did Ford have any reasonable expectations that her communications would be protected from release?
would say she was just keeping it confidential....
Up to now. Within the system.
