Feinstein releases cryptic statement about Brett Kavanaugh nomination
Fox News ^ | September 13, 2018 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 09/13/2018 1:31:35 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Thursday threw a cryptic curveball at Brett Kavanaugh, insinuating the Supreme Court nominee could be guilty of a crime even as Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee seek to delay his confirmation.

The vague accusation comes after the Senate Judiciary Committee already grilled Kavanaugh and other witnesses and prepares to vote on sending his nomination to the full Senate.

A spokesperson for Feinstein declined Fox News’ request to elaborate on the lawmaker’s statement, but there has been much speculation that she is referring to a secret letter that has been the subject of intrigue on Capitol Hill over the last few days. A source familiar with the confirmation proceedings told Fox News that Feinstein received the letter back in July, but did not make its existence known publicly until Thursday.

The woman referenced in the letter has yet to be identified, but is being represented by Debra Katz, a whistleblower attorney who works with #MeToo survivors, according to The Intercept.

Despite the turmoil over the letter, a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said there is no plan to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Grassley set the panel's vote on Kavanaugh for Sept. 20 and Republicans hope to confirm Kavanaugh by the start of the new court session Oct. 1.

The White House attacked Feinstein's statment as an 11th hour attack on the nominee.

“Throughout his confirmation process, Judge Kavanaugh has had 65 meetings with senators—including with Senator Feinstein—sat through over 30 hours of testimony, addressed over 2,000 questions in a public setting and additional questions in a confidential session," White House spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement. "Not until the eve of his confirmation has Sen. Feinstein or anyone raised the specter of new ‘information’ about him."

What do they hope to gain/ If Kavanaugh goes down, there’s more conservative nominees waiting in the wings, who I’ve heard are more conservative than Kavanaugh.

Most likely they will accuse him of copping a feel while in high school. I mean, is that now some sort of retroactive hate crime?

Except there’s a new sheriff in town - Gloria has been replaced by another ambulance chaser or is that “decades old assaults” chaser?

Sounds like it is time to dig into the activities of the Chinese spy who was on DiFi’s staff for years. Too bad we don’t have a GOP that is willing to fight fire with fire.

I have a strong feeling that the next one to be replaced will be Clarence Thomas. I believe he’s either in his 70s or close to it, and he’s now the longest serving member of SCOTUS. And elderly black men usually suffer with high blood pressure and are not in the best of health.

Is having someone hit on you typically fatal?

Sometimes, yes.

We often call that being, "Humblegunnered".

There are inter High School dances/mixers between all boys and all girls schools. I presume that is where the alleged transgression is claimed to have occurred. Or maybe a date with a girl from the neighborhood.
IF Kavanaugh did NOT commit some kind of crass, or regrettable, action in his High School days, he should be rejected from the nomination because he is obviously an android, and not a real flesh and blood person.

What matters is how he has handled himself as a man, and a judge, not what he did when he was a boy.

Over at DU they’re posting about a sexulal misconduct issue with a girl WHILE HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Word around the campfire is, he dipped the girl in front of him's pigtail in his inkwell.
