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.”

“If these allegations are so serious and deserving of investigation and all that, then why the hell did Diane Feinstein sit on this story for over two months?”

Better question; If these allegations are TRUE, then why wasn’t this discovered during numerous background investigations by FBI, etc., over the past decades? Are FBI investigators inept, Diane?

How did 17 year old Brett meet that criteria?

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

May be a fine line but what 15 year old girl goes to a 'party' of just her and four guys ? Who could predict the outcome of an event like that? She said she drank a beer so can she absolutely pinpoint which of the 4 came on to her if any of them did ?

“3)Did you tell any acquaintances at the time?”

I believe that’s a big one in the legal system — “contemporaneous utterance” or something like that.

Yes, put out this ‘anonymous’ accusation, let Kavanaugh denies it and then drag out she who wanted to remain anonymous to tell her lurid little tale...

Total bs.

If it were so serious, why is it now coming out 35 years later?

Story was useful until now.

“Isn’t there some unpublished list of congressional payouts for sexual harassment cases?”

Yes; there is. And it was supposed to have been released to the public about a year ago. It never was. Why the hell not? I think tomorrow would be the ideal time to release it and air their dirty laundry.

Several tweeting people (I don’t tweet) should get the ball rolling on that. Bombard the social airwaves with something like #ReleaseTheList and demand that we know all legislators’ names on the list, their offense(s), and the amount of money WE THE PEOPLE are paying to cover up THEIR indiscretions.

I am so not kidding.

Another really sad part of this is the number of people who will believe this without even a second thought or consider the timing and reason....

If you are right, I totally agree with you.
At this point, I would welcome a civil war to ultimately finish off all these F*****s.

I think thr political divide here is far greater than 1860. Far too many differences.

That’s the thing. Kavanaugh was the last choice for many of us, but was largely palatable because of his record on guns. He was among the more moderate names on the list.

We are at war with these people. They are not opponents, they are enemies.

“It’s a kill shot”

You would think that by now the sexual ploy would be to trite to use. But I guess not.

This false accuser is a liar. If you read her letter, she wanted to go public.

This is a smear and God willing, it will not work.

“And how in the hell does an accused prove a negative??”

Ask Hannity. He demanded Judge Moore accomplish it.

DiFi needs to be investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee, with a full blown colonoscopy, as to why her net worth is over $77M, why she had a Chinese spy as a chauffeur for 20 years, and why she sat on Ms. Ford’s letter since June or July, passing up the trifecta of opportunities to ask about it in her office during a one on one interview, in closed hearing session, and in an open hearing session.
