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 Kavanaugh’s 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, there’s 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 didn’t commit a crime, who cares what happened

Apparently, I will never be eligible for the supreme court.
I agree with you. It takes great courage to accept any position in the Trump administration. The deep state swamp is worse than I thought.
The New York Times publishes the double top secret exposé on White House gossip anonymously, yet we are told to believe it.
Too bad you weren't a High School Classmate of Dianne Emiel Goldman who became Senator Dianne Feinstein. You could have flushed he down the toilet instead.
Eshoo is buddies with Pelosi, just as looney & idiotic.
it’s really REALLY bad guys - from the Guardian...
“A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room.”
excuse me while i die laughing here....
She’s an ass either way.
Yet if it’s a national security secret it’s front page news.
Here’s thought
Feinstein and the Dems would like to tarnish Kavanaugh, but they can’t be expecting much from such a stunt.
Perhaps they simply want to get other GOP senators on record about “dismissing a poor young girl’s sexual harassment claims” to keep the pussy-hat crowd agitated.
Think about that when you have to listen to a Liberal make disparaging remarks about the education of any Republican or Conservative.
All time low for these pukes. I’m really sick of this crap.
And brought forward by political enemies. The media would be savaging any Republican who tried a stunt like this against one of their beloved Democrats.
That’s it?
An idiot 17 year old guy(and most ARE idiots) locked a girl in a room?
THE SKY IS FALLING!
.
More proof the Democrats are nuts and aren’t fit to govern.
Eschoo is a communist.
Disgraceful - Feinstein supposedly had this letter since July - a blatant attempt to at least delay the appointment of Kavanaugh until after the midterms, if not derail it altogether - I wonder about that rumor I heard about Feinstein and what she was doing with that bunch of hippies at Berkeley back in 1973......
Pubic hair alert!
C”mon now people - it’s not wvhaf happened that matters, its the seriousness of the charge.
But we’re talking about a kid in high school who is alleged to have transgressed.
Thaf means every teen boy in America! Democrats should be ashamed of themselves but they’re incapable of being embarrasseed.
If what Kavanaugh is alleged to have done is sexual harassment, then it has lost all meaning.
Dragging someone’s name to the mud now means beating up a teen boy - this is what Democrats have been reduced to peddling plus an anonymous allegation.
Seriously. Washington meets Romper Room.
Hell cannot be made too hot for the homecoming of Demonicrats.
