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

How do you lock a door from the inside and not be able to get out?
Lou Dobbs moments ago elaborated as to the fact that this is an anonymous source who wants to retain her confidentiality and does not want to come forward.
I wish Grassley would muster up the guts to kick Feinstein off the Judiciary committee.
“making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out”
this is all they’ve got!?
They have nothing and why would the FBI care about something he may or may not have done 35 years ago.,.
CNN Breaking: He was caught smoking a cigarette in the boys room!
DF failed to bring this out in a timely manner. Hearings are complete. Sorry, but she did the accused wrong by failing to raise the allegations during the hearings. She owes her an apology not Grassley.
How about the democrats show us Obama’s birth certificate!
It also why we need term limits and a law forbidding any former Senator or Congressperson from becoming a lobbyist for at least 10 years
“He would have been confirmed already if he’d just felt up a boy.”
Not if he’s a Republican. Republican homosexuals are dragged down Main St. in chains and flogged. Democrat homosexuals are beatified the morning, and sanctified by suppertime. And anyone who criticizes anything they do gets...dragged down Main St. in chains and flogged.
Maybe go back to grammer school - he could have failed to turn in his homework or something.
HE’S OUT!
Mary-Ethyl Fatbottom swears it was Kavanaugh who dipped her pigtail in the inkwell.
Demonrat double standard, remember Bill Clintons Bimbo Patrol?
Fefe Fifi Fofo Fum. I smell smoke (finish it your way).
Yup - they could have brought this up in the confirmation hearings.
The fact they didn’t suggests that Kavanaugh would have been able to dismiss their attempt to impugn his character.
So they resort to character assassination because they can’t point to anything that renders Kavanaugh unqualified to sit on fhe Supreme Court.
There is no honor and decorum in the conduct of the other side.
What they’ve done says a lot more about them than it does about Kavanaugh.
And of course the source has evidence that the judge was the one of the 2 boys that locked the door, plus there had to be a police report with the Judges questioning. There must be video, there always is. Cmon CNN crank up an old movie cameras and whip up a likely looking video proof of the claim from 1982 or so.
Domestic terrorist...oh wait, if Bill Ayers can skate so can you
Just wait...they’ll dig up an old video of him in bell bottom jeans and dancing in a disco.
So gauche...

BINGO! Post of the day.
