Sen. Dianne Feinstein refers letter about Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh to federal authorities
MSN News ^ | September 12, 2018 | Tucker Higgins

The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein of California, said Thursday that she has referred a letter concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to federal authorities.

"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Sen. Feinstein said. "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."

Feinstein's announcement came shortly after the committee set a date to vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.

It followed a report Wednesday night in the investigative news outlet The Intercept that first disclosed the existence of the letter. According to the outlet, the letter is rumored to include details about an incident involving Kavanaugh that took place during his time at Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland.

Rude awakening for Kavanaugh, who was probably closer to a milquetoast Bushie before this.

Feinstein has released a statement Thursday afternoon acknowledging the existence of the letter. “I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. 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,” she said.

What part of her 'honoring the individual's declining to press the matter' is referring the matter to the authorities?

Nope. This is a “ME TOO” episode....

This stunt worked on Judge Moore and the rinos let it happen because Moore and his wife weren’t the types they’d invite to a cocktail party.

The rinos better dig in on this one before they’re next.

Kavanaugh went to an all boys school, with Gorsuch. Over 100 of his classmates signed a petition supporting him.

Let the “Anita Hill”ing of Judge Kavanaugh begin.

I think this is going to backfire on the Democrats. Kavanaugh has plenty of friends in DC who are going to bat for him.

“The letter was reportedly written by someone affiliated with Stanford University, who is not the subject of the letter, and was originally sent to Rep. Anna Eshoo, who represents California’s 14th district, before being passed along to Feinstein.”

Well, that sounds reliable.

Last two lines in the letter:

Sincerely,
Anita Hill

If Gloria Allred was involved I’d be on the lookout for yearbooks with an incorrect signature from Kavannaugh with two different pens and two different writing styles. :)

Wasn’t there a similar letter about ROMNEY’s high-school experiences? What I want to know is the dirt on their kindergarten play . . .

Let’s also check out DiFi’s high school club stuff. Did they have high schools back then??? Talk about DRAMA. Talk about stretching. I loved McConnell - ‘we’ll have the vote as planned.”

No way to investigate something that happened 30 years ago.

He said, she said. She has a lot of political reasons to come forward now.

There needs to be laws against people coming forward 30 years later to smear others.

If it was that bad, she would have come forward a heck of a lot sooner.

Too bad.

Is her name Anita? Oh, that's right, she wants to be anonymous.

Diane lost her senate seat and now she is pissed so she will show how good a solider she is to the leftist army. Good luck with that Di.

According to the NYT, Feinstein received the letter months ago.

Or maybe he showed her a Long John Silver video (the pirate from ‘Treasure Island’, not the porn star).

Yeah. We could craft an anonymous letter about Feinstein working as a hooker and going broke because of no takers.

I can just imagine the 8 pm news... Hastily called news conference by Gloria Allred where by she introduces the public to a gal who claims she dated Brett Kavanaugh in HS. He was 18 and she was 16 at the time.
