Dianne Feinstein Says A ‘Bad Cold’ May Have ‘Slowed Down’ Her Mental Faculties
Daily Caller ^ | Jan 10, 2018 | Peter Hasson

Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein suggested a “bad cold” may have impaired her mental faculties and caused her to release Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee without telling committee chairman Chuck Grassley.

Feinstein published Simpson’s testimony on Tuesday, catching Republicans by surprise. Simpson’s testimony, taken during August of last year, covered his firm’s role in producing the infamous anti-Trump dossier for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee.

Feinstein, 84, expressed regret on Wednesday for keeping Sen. Grassley in the dark, and suggested it was because of a “bad cold.”

“The one regret I have is that I should have spoke with Senator Grassley before,” she told NBC News. “And I don’t make an excuse but I’ve had a bad cold and maybe that slowed down my mental facilities [sic] a little bit.”

Grassley said Tuesday that Feinstein’s decision to abruptly publish the documents was “confounding” and said he expected the documents to be released “when we both agreed to release it.”

Earlier today, she claimed that the dog had eaten her latest alibi for declassifying the Fusion GPS testimony. /s

>> Feinstein, 84,

Wow, didn’t realize she is that old. That may explain her display of recalcitrance.

I think there are internal committee rules that govern this situation, like a form of censor on the committee. Denying the other side on the committee salient information because of leaking problems.

What slithering snakes our senators are.

I really can’t think of a lower group of creatures on this earth.

Disgusting filth.

More likely she had an 18th Century “moment”. Stupid cow. She should be kicked off the committee, if only on purely humanitarian grounds, namely that she is a threat to the safety of American humans.

I guess when she made the Statement that if she could disarm Law Abiding American Citizens she would, she was suffering from AIDS.
