Feinstein Statement on Kavanaugh
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) ^ | Sep 16 2018 | Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)

Posted on 09/16/2018 5:29:55 PM PDT by mdittmar

Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) released the following statement:

“It has always been Mrs. Ford’s decision whether to come forward publicly. For any woman, sharing an experience involving sexual assault—particularly when it involves a politically connected man with influence, authority and power—is extraordinarily difficult.

“From the outset, I have believed these allegations were extremely serious and bear heavily on Judge Kavanaugh’s character. However, as we have seen over the past few days, they also come at a price for the victim. I hope the attacks and shaming of her will stop and this will be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

“I support Mrs. Ford’s decision to share her story, and now that she has, it is in the hands of the FBI to conduct an investigation. This should happen before the Senate moves forward on this nominee.”

The seriousness of the charges only goes one way and never towards Democrats.

That’s one reason, of many, why the Left needs to go down to utter defeat.

The Democrats always do this. And Americans are getting sick of it.

Confirm Judge Kavanaugh, haul Feinstein before the court on charges of aiding and abetting espionage, declassify the FISAGATE documents and annihilate the Democrat leadership once and for all. They need to go NOW.

“I hope Justice Kavanaugh remembers”

I don’t think there’s going to be a Justice Kavanaugh. Flake is killing the nomination so it won’t leave committee. Even if it’ gets past Flake l don’t see how he survives with the 51/49 Majority. The Rats executed this one perfectly. We are looking at a 4-4 SC until next year unless Mitch has a real recess. I just hope Trump pays these f’rs back with a fat right Conservative replacement. Kavanaugh is a middle of the road guy really, make the Rats pay for this.

Oh bull, Dianne. If you thought there might be merit to her claim you would have brought it up earlier.

The Judiciary Committee voted 11 to 10 on Thursday to hold the vote at 1:45 p.m. on Sept. 20, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is expected to set full Senate votes on Kavanaugh’s confirmation for the final week of September.

Kavanaugh will be confirmed by Senate. :)

Thursday will be a good day!

Did Feinstein take the same stance when Bill Clinton was accused of sexual assault?

There were rumors about obama being gay and bad things happening to some of his former partners. Why does she have a different standard for Kavanaugh who had a upstanding personal history?

Crap you MIGHT have done in high school more than 30 years ago only became relevant in September, 2018. But only if you’re conservative, and nominated by Donald Trump.

Some of the "shaming" is asking fair questions since she chose to give such graphic details. A brief report just now on the radio omitting the "grinding" as some accounts quote her as saying.

I concede it's a fine line between fair questions and shaming.

"Is sexual harrassment/assault a serious matter or not? Or is it something you pull out for political purposes when it’s convenient for liberals to accuse some Republican of misconduct?"

The Democrats stalled Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Appeals Court for 3 years...from 2003 to 2006. Where was this woman then? Why didn't the Democrats ask to see his White House documents then? The guy had never been a Judge before, yet none of it was of interest to the Dems back then.
