After a week of lies, biased editing of his statements, and one fake Spartacus imitation, supreme court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh was unscathed by the left and looked to be on his way to being confirmed by the entire Senate. But the left demanded that the Democrats do something to prevent Kavanaugh from the inevitable approval.
Therefore, Sen. Feinstein (D-CA) who despite being a leftist has problems with the far-left wing of her party tried a last-minute ploy to scuttle the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh that failed so miserably it ended \up making herself look like the court jester.
Earlier today the Senator who is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee released the following statement
I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Feinstein said in her surprise statement. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.
As the day went on Feinsteins tale began to fall apart. It started to leak out that the letter described allegations of sexual misconduct involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman when they were both high school students. Perhaps the woman got a sex change since then because Kavanaugh went to Georgetown Prep is an all-boys boarding school in Bethesda, Maryland.
But the Guardian claims it happened off campus:
A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room. The Guardian has not verified the apparent claims in the letter. It is not yet clear who wrote it.
So wait. They locked her in the room, but she got out? If they locked her in the room how did she get out?
Making Feinstein look a bit more foolish, the New York Times reported that the Senator has been holding on to the letter for two months, but didnt let anyone know about it till Kavanaugh was about to be voted on by the entire Judicial Committee:
The information came in July in a letter, which was first sent to the office of Representative Anna Eshoo, Democrat of California, and accuses the judge of sexual misconduct toward the letters author, a person familiar with the letter confirmed. Ms. Feinstein, who received the letter from Ms. Eshoos office, informed fellow Democrats on the Judiciary Committee about its existence and its contents on Wednesday evening but did not share the letter itself.
Perhaps she didnt share the letter because she feared that Senator Spartacus (D-NJ) would release it to the public, or he fellow Californian Sen. Kamala Liar would deceptively edit it to change its meaning and then release it to the public.
Before we go on ponder this for a moment; Kavanaugh worked for Ken Starr. He then worked in the Bush White House, and first nominated to the appellate bench in 2003. Each of those times he received an extensive FBI background check and had another one when he was nominated to join the Supremes. Now this supposed incident has been sitting out there for 36 years, and the FBI never found it? And the victim was silent until two weeks ago? Kind of makes one believe the story is bogus. The FBI thought so also.
Finally, the FBI must have decided that Diane Feinstein didnt look foolish enough. A person familiar to the matter (i.e., another leaker) told the Washington Post that
the FBI does not now plan to launch a criminal investigation of the matter, which would normally be handled by local authorities if it was within the statute of limitations. The FBI instead passed the material to the White House, as an update to Kavanaughs background check, which already had been completed, the person said. The move is similar to what the bureau did when allegations were leveled against former White House aide Rob Porter.
An FBI official said, Upon receipt of the information on the night of September 12, we included it as part of Judge Kavanaughs background file, as per the standard process.
So the FBI doesnt believe that theres a there there. And now the White House has the info but Feinsteins Democratic partners, many of whom wanted her to just release the letter, dont know whats in it.
The bottom line is Sen. Feinstein floated a tale at the last minute in an attempt to derail the Kavanaugh nomination. The story was worse than the usual MSM anonymous story because not only dont we know who the accuser is, but we arent being told the details of her accusation. And the FBI believes its a load of cow chips, so they arent investigating it.
This sordid tale tells more about the Democrats desperation to stop Kavanaugh and Feinsteins desperation to become beloved by the far left so she can get re-elected than it says anything about Judge Kavanaugh. And Feinstein is left looking like a clown.
I think she can be sued personally.
Senator Feinstein is very old and probably has a staff of very young and very ideologically committed leftist recent law school grads who don’t really think things through. My guess is that most of them didn’t work Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Wow, Leader McConnell needs to start policing that Senate and the Senate staffs.
What these crazy people have done to Kavanaugh is terribly damaging to the reputation of the U.S. Senate and the people who work there.
Rooms lock from the inside, not the outside.
I would hope that our guess would be that her staff would NEVER work again in the US Senate.
If the Senate is not beyond pulling stunts like this, it becomes dangerous to our form of government.
There must be standards!!! And the same way there are repercussions for corporate sabotage, etc., some senior leader in the Senate is going to have to put a lid on these kind of antics.
ASKING: Can a citizen of California, or a member of Congress, ask for a sanity hearing for Feinstein under Article 25 of the Bill of Rights pertaining to the removal of (it was for the President), of a member of Congress for mental illness, incapacity or just being a batshit crazy leftist bitch)? Maxine Waters and Feinstein, prime candidates for the insane asylum.
terribly damaging to the reputation of the U.S. Senate and the people who work there.
It is not possible to damage the reputation of the US Senate or the people who work there any more than theyve already damaged it themselves.

That wench has been looking like a clown for decades. This is just another in a long line of clown incidents.

I much prefer the term, Beclowned Herself.
Also asking: Is Feinstein/Eschau’s secret source the same one who told Sen. Harry “She gave me some black eyes because I didn’t pay her” Reid that Mitt Romney didn’t pay his taxes for 10 years?
That “source” sure gets around - Romney and taxes; Trump and a Golden Shower in Moscow; the Steel Dossier - he probably helped write it; the meetings with Papadopoulus - he might have been at one of them; the Lolita Express story; the story that Nancy Pelosi is in control of the Democrat Party and is still sane; that Maxine Waters has her own hair; and that Corey Booker is going to play Spartacus in a remake of the Kirk Douglas movie starring the whole cast of “Hamilton” as gladiators.
That guy most be on Viagra - Super Strength!
I think this is a new low.
It’s a disgrace on America’s reputation in the face of the world. This country is supposed to be the world’s last best hope for fairness....
This incident has revealed that a banana republic element in our government has gained a foothold even in the most senior offices in the Senate. The staffers involved in this incident ought to be drummed out of respectable company, and deprived of their taxpayer-funded jobs. The “lawyer” involved ought to lose her license.

Yes, its a strange story.
A clown? More like a wizened old potato that is leaking a fetid pool of rotten detritus that is always late to be seen and hard to clean up. This woman has outlived her usefulness if she ever had any. No shame, no morality, and no desire to give up her desire for power and usefulness for the the commie cause. The good die young, and she is proof the Devil has no remorse in unrepentant evil.
“Judge Kavanaugh...could you see Paradise By The Dashboard Lights?”
Well, let me sleep on it. Baby, baby, let me sleep on it...I’ll give my answer in the morning...
“I gotta know right now! Beforehand we go any further”
Did she play the ape veterinarian in Planet of the Apes without makeup.
Remember when you did something stupid in High School and your Teacher sent you to the local FBI Office instead of the School’s Vice Principal?
Me neither.
Locked her in a room and she got out! WOW! And at 17 when kids do some stupid stuff! WOW! Thats it, he done for now.
I wonder what these assholes would do if they found out what one boy did when I was in high school. And it wasnt me I swear. A freshman got hold of a rubber snake and crept into the girls locker room and chucked it in the shower when the girls were showering. He dam near got killed from the stampede. He got two weeks without credit for that one.
Although I did make a paper airplane out of a sheet of newspaper and open the window and threw it out. The dam thing went right down in front of a cop who was directing traffic when the paper mill let out first shift. I got two weeks detention for that one.
The letter was written by a Feinswine staff member.
