It looks like I spoke too soon when I said that the Kavanaugh confirmation process never reached the nauseating lows of the Bork and Thomas hearings. The Washington Times reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has asked federal investigators to probe a secret complaint about Kavanaugh. The complaint, reportedly lodged by woman, pertains to an incident that supposedly occurred when Kavanaugh and the women were in high school.
The woman passed her complaint to Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat. She apparently is unwilling to come forward publicly to talk about the alleged incident. Buzzfeed contacted the woman rumored to have lodged the complaint. She refused to comment.
The Anita Hill ambush of Clarence Thomas was bad enough. But at least Hill was willing to stand publicly behind her claims. And at least those claims, though not coming close to stating a case of sexual harassment, were less than a decade old.
A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley said that Grassley is aware of the referral. He added that there is no plan to change the committee consideration of Judge Kavanaughs nomination.
Nor should there be. No nomination should be derailed by ancient claims of misconduct made by someone who is unwilling publicly to state them. In an era where partisans try to bribe Senators into voting against a nominee, it will always be possible to find someone willing to make secret allegations of misconduct from the distant past.
Indeed, theres no reason why the FBI, which has vetted Kavanaugh multiple times since 1993, should investigate a claim pertaining to an event that may have occurred 35 years ago, when Kavanaugh was a teenager. If Kavanaugh committed a crime, the time to accuse him was decades ago. If he didnt commit a crime, who cares what happened

While additional details about the letter were scarce, two media outlets have reported that the person who wrote the letter is being represented by an attorney, Debra Katz, who has been described in media reports as Washingtons #MeToo lawyer.
Me too movement for girls locked in a room at a party and NOTHING happed to them except they were scared?
But its ok to drive a women off a bridge and leave her to die or rape a women and give her a fat lip and tell her to put ice on it or.....
Hypocrites all.
Shameful childishness.
Another anonymous source “bombshell” that DiFi pooped into her depends as a last ditch effort - would wager she started searching for a willing liar snowflake the second she heard Kavanaugh was going to be nominated, then sat on the letter (my snowflake sent me a letter) as a “we got nothing left in our arsenal” last ditch delay tactic...they have no idea that 90% of Americans slapped their heads and said, “Not this $#!+ again”....
Nameless accusers. Total crock.
