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.”
Violation of national security laws?
Indict her.
That’s the best defense I’ve heard since “It was a video.”
Yup-Punish her in every way the senate can do so.
Bad cold? Wasn’t that Hillary’s excuse for her sack-of-potatoes=tossed-in-the-van moment during the campaign?
Hmmmmm, according to Manu Raju she said she was pressured to release it.
So which is it, Dianne? Or are your mental faculties so slowed down, you can’t keep up with your lies?
Whew, those people are somethin’ else, aren’t they?
Love that .gif. LOL!
We have all had colds; I don’t think they have ever affected our mental capacity. Yeah, we may be tired and have stuffy noses, but we can still think, particularly on important issues such as this.
Not ideal, but if she did not feel well enough to be up to the job, she should have made excuses and waited
Earlier today she said she was “pressured”. So WHY did she illegally release the secret testimony? Sabotage.

“‘Sneaky Dianne Feinstein’ Says She Was ‘Pressured’ to Release Fusion GPS Testimony”
see Post #9 by Red Badger -
“Others who are yet to testify have now been given the testimony of another witness that they can use his answers as their own when they testify so everybody has the same story..........it was evident from the beginning that this was what it was......”
Now that we know why, the only question is WHO pressured her?
(thanks RB)
DiFi has mental faculties??? I think NOT
Liberalism is a mental disorder!
She must have had a bad cold since she was mayor of San Francisco.
Sounds more like she has a case of TDS. Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s sweeping across the country right now.
So what’s been her excuse the other 358 days of the years?
Grassley needs to BLAST her EVERY DAY for this!! She had NO RIGHT to release this....but then shes a 3-fer....Democrat Jewish woman!
Headline and first sentence of the article are wrong.
DiFi said “facilities”, not “faculties”.
...well, she is 84...
She needs a Chicken Soup Enema perhaps!
She needs to be removed from the committee and prosecuted for releasing classified information, and obstruction of justice.
I was surprised she even gave a excuse. Wonder where she is getting heat from? This excuse isn’t going to help her for her next election. The dems are after her seat.
