It would be hard to have a hearing if the “witness” doesn’t testify.
RIght now, there is absolutely no accusation before the commitee. So far as I can tell, Feinstein didn’t even submit the original mail she got into evidence. And even if she did, that wasn’t actual evidence, it is a claim. A claim with ZERO evidence.
Even the 2012 notes from the therapist are not evidence — they are based on some vaguely similar story told by the same person.
If the woman testified under oath, that would become a form of “evidence”, although no court in the land would ever prosecute a person based solely on the “eyewitness” testimony of someone claiming a crime was commited, without any evidence presented of said crime.
I’m actually kind of shocked at this woman’s story; she claims that in the aftermath of this event, she was traumatized for life. But even though she went into a field specifically dedicated to dealing with trauma, she never once, in 30 years, spoke to ANY health care professional about this severe trauma, and the trauma did not prevent her from finishing high school, doing well in college, continuing her education, and now being an educator for, what, 30 years?
The first “counseling”, and the only “counseling” we are told was for a marital problem, a marital problem that came 10 years into their marriage. At that counseling, her therapist recorded an incident where 4 males attacked her, none of them named.
If i had been nearly raped in high school, and was traumatized by it, and then spent 30 years hanging around people in the psychological profession, I’m pretty sure at some point I would have asked for counseling to get over the incident.
“...doing well in college...?” Do we know this to be true? Does she have the degrees she claiming.
