Feinstein on Blasey Ford’s Call for FBI Investigation
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) ^ | Sep 18, 2018 | Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)

Posted on 09/19/2018 5:48:59 PM PDT by mdittmar

Washington—Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement on Republican plans to hold a hearing on sexual assault charges against Brett Kavanaugh on Monday with no outside witnesses:

“The decision to come forward or not come forward has always been Christine Blasey Ford’s, and that includes her participation in a hearing.

“I agree with her 100 percent that the rushed process to hold a hearing on Monday has been unfair and is reminiscent of the treatment of Anita Hill. I also agree that we need the facts before senators—not staff or lawyers—speak to witnesses.

“We should honor Dr. Blasey Ford’s wishes and delay this hearing. A proper investigation must be completed, witnesses interviewed, evidence reviewed and all sides spoken to. Only then should the chairman set a hearing date.

“I hope that each and every one of us will immediately denounce the horrific treatment of Dr. Blasey Ford. That this brave woman is receiving death threats and has been forced to flee with her family is appalling and heartbreaking. This abuse must stop. We’re better than this.”

It took her 85 years to get that ugly but her soul was already even uglier years ago.

Every year, the dems turn out someone that I hate. Harry Reid held the title the longest.

She is evil. I know hate is the strongest but God forgive me, she has earned it.

As a Californian in this jungle primary state, I am faced with voting for either Feinstein or de Leon

If, God willing, Cox gets elected Governor, and then if, God willing, the actuarial tables catch up with FineSwine, then, we may - ever so briefly - get a Republican Senator appointed for California.

Cox is within the polling margin of error, and FineSwine is 85+, so this isn't a total pipe dream!

Well the time for lawyers and investigators was about 36 fracking years ago! Right now its the time for the Senate to do is fracking job which is to give advice and consent on nominees for the federal bench. The Senate is not in charge of deciding what 36 year old out of the blue rape allegations the FBI should investigate. Especially ones where its painfully obvious its a political ploy.

A “rushed” process?

Geez, she’s had 36 years to prepare for this.

Please, DiFi, STFU. On the other hand, just keep talking, it gets better and better.

No, Kavanaugh was never mentioned in that 2012 session. She probably had the whole male population in her head at that time to get over some type of psychosis or whoredom she projected her blame on.

She didn’t mention him, but he had been mentioned in relation to Romney. I’m sure she wasn’t too specific in her ‘recovered memory’. And it could then be used against Kavanaugh.

Did Rep Anna Eshoo sit on this for over three weeks? Today Anna eshoo said she met Ford met on july 20th. But...

“Eshoo told ABC News’ Karl on the “Powerhouse Politics” podcast that she met with Ford face-to-face over the July Fourth holiday and discussed her story.”

And WAPO says She (Ford) contacted The Post through a tip line in early July and she (Ford) contacted her congresswoman, Democrat Anna G. Eshoo, around the same time. In late July (july 30), she sent a letter via Eshoo’s office to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Yes, when someone earns our hatred we musn’t be stingy-—give it to them.

Remember, the Dems are responsible for killing millions of babies through easy abortions, some of hem taxpayer funded.

Feinstein, you jerk! It's rush because you brought it up last minute.

“Poor planning on your part does not mean you can tell us what to do.”

By the way, when are you going to go after Keith Ellison? I think we should speed that up but I guess you want to slow that down. Like forever.

That is precisely what I am afraid of.
I have been studying Bible commentaries since mid 2015, going through each book of the Bible and looking for the answer.

Are we right to sit patiently and wait for God to do something on earth?

Or, does God want us to act forthrightly to battle and destroy the Amalekites and the Canaanites of today: the Evil Left News Media People and the Dems?

Which is right?

We turn the other cheek but we are running out of cheeks.

Being old is no reason to hate someone. We are all going to get there some day - if we are lucky.

This was a marriage counseling session where Kavanaugh's name was NEVER mentioned by a independent 3rd party.

Why was it marriage counseling (Not some counseling for psycological trauma) and why did she bring up this incident a.k.a she probably cucked her husband and rationalized her whoredom; prove me wrong, I have more evidence then this creature based on her couseler's notes (The notes contained details contrary to her story in the Washington Post).

Her husband associated Kavanaugh to that incident out of where he poops from. Is that an independent witness?

Incredible - there is no “rush” toward a hearing other than that created by DiFi sitting on Ford’s letter for two months - had she handled it correctly any investigation they wanted could have been completed long ago - but according to the man who coordinates investigations for the Senate Judicial Committee who appeared on Fox tonight, any investigation done by the FBI would be only to find issues to be “served up” to the Committee - in other words, the FBI finds murky areas which the Committee should be aware of - the Committee itself then explores those areas to determine the facts - the FBI doesn’t come to a determination about the veracity of those people it deals with, that’s up to the Committee - and the issue of Judge Kavanaugh’s possible sexual assault was “served up” by Ford’s letter - QED - no need for the FBI....

Maybe it is speculation that it was associated with Kavanaugh in 2012. But he was floated as the type of Judge that Romney would appoint to SCOTUS, from what I have read.

President Trump could safely order the FBI to investigate; they never obey his orders anyway.
