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 lawmakers 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 Kavanaughs 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 senatorsincluding with Senator Feinsteinsat 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."

We need to secure the Supreme Court pending the actions that are coming.
Timing is important. The derps MUST delay until after the mid-terms in the hope they can retake the House and/or the Senate. The Judiciary Committee and full Senate MUST bulldoze through these delying tactics (and possible kill shot) and get Kavanaugh confirmed. I am confident they will. But expect a full court press by the derp state Mockinbird media. This is their nuke.
And this is their desperation move. They, too, have a plan.
It just sucks compared to ours.

Agreed. These Dem Senators, and their water carrying Media pals, are all despicable.
I agree if such a claim was made - but now it is all very vague. I havent seen the actual accusation in print. I was just trying to provide some benefit of the doubt. The bigger point is: so what?
Probably Collins..she received many death threats, which according to MSNBC is just “Democracy in action” but if it was THEIR side getting those same death threats Dems would be calling US fascists
The timing is important. We don't know when Anna Eschoo initially got the letter, but if this reporting is accurate, she passed it on to Feinstein sometime in July. Feinstein did not give it to the FBI until September 12 -- i.e., yesterday. So: the Democrats seem to have sat on a hearsay accusation for at least six weeks, preventing the FBI from investigating and, of course, denying Kavanaugh any opportunity to defend himself. And after a six week delay, they rush it to the press. This is beneath contempt.
This is why the founding fathers put in the Constitution that a person has the right to face his accuser, so that somebody like Diane Feinstein could not pull crap like this.
Its going to be much more serious than a kiss, in fact, I am betting an allegation of sexual assault, maybe even rape. It will be a criminal act,
35 years ago????!!!
Cryptic curveball leads to seeeecret letter,
which is suuuubject of intrigue.
Why dint Di question the judge about this when he sat
before her?
I smell a smelly rat.
The FBI ought to be looking at why DiFi kept a Chinese spy employed for 20 years.
How many assets did Feinstein get killed or sent to prison in China via her Chinese spy? Anyone ask her yet?

Come out Virginia, don’t let ‘em wait
You
Catholic girls
start much too late
Aw but sooner or later it comes down to faith
Oh I might as well be the one
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young
That’s what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain’t too pretty we ain’t too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw but that never hurt no one
So come on Virginia show me a sign
Send up a signal and I’ll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you’re hiding behind
Never let’s in the sun
Darlin’ only the good die young
Woah

Georgetown Prep is a selective, single sex high school in a big city. It is not a boarding school. The boys have perfectly normal social lives, with kids that run the full gamut of high school types (except that they're all smart). They just don't have girls in the classroom.
Georgetown Prep is a pricey school in a pricey part of Montgomery County. It caters to the carriage trade. There is a joke at Gonzaga to the effect that Georgetown Prep has a golf course on its campus, while Gonzaga has a homeless shelter. Both are academically selective, though the most rigorous Catholic boys school in DC may be St. Anselm's, off South Dakota Ave in far Northeast.
Democraps must apply the BJClinton Standard that they created in 1998. The allegation, even if not true, must be worse than any sexual act or crime that BJC did before, during or after holding the office of President. The standard includes the following presumptions: (1) everyone lies about sex; (2) what anyone does in private does not affect their ability to perform their gub’mint job; (3) it depends on what the meaning of “is” is, or “was” was.
I am sure Feinstool voted to acquit BJClinton during the impeachment show trial.
One of the articles I saw (have scanned several, and read a few) claimed that they were high school classmates.
But Yeah, All are INTENTIONALLY extremely vague, including statements by Feinstein, to prevent any refutation by Kavenaugh: Since the ‘victim’ is completely anonymous, the ‘chain of custody’ of the claims is ‘iffy’ and no specific charge has been made, Kavenaugh can’t even deny it happened.
Too bad our society is so stupid that this kind of crap actually works to sway public opinion, and not of just those on the left.
Feinstein’s letter will be fan mail from some flounder.
She has a tube wireless behind a bookcase complete with straight key, headphones, and code book, tuned to her handler’s frequency in Beijing.
