Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) told "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson Sunday that the Senate is investigating their colleague Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) over the letter she received from Judge Kavanaugh's accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She says the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted her in high school. Feinstein got the letter over the summer, but it was leaked to the press just a couple weeks ago, just in time for Kavanaugh's confirmation vote. It was suspicious timing, and Cotton wants to get to the bottom of it.
As soon as Feinstein got Ford's letter, she should have shared it with Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), then shown it to the FBI and have them do a quiet investigation. Instead, the letter leaked and breached Ford's anonymity.
"They have betrayed her,” Cotton added. “She has been victimized by Democrats."
So, they are investigating Feinstein and her staff.
Dickerson asked Cotton why women who have been sexually abused would come forward with their stories if, like Dr. Ford, they are not believed by the Senate?
“Any impact that this entire episode has had, on women's willingness to come forward and report sexual assault, which I encourage them all to do immediately after it happens, is caused by the Democrats, is caused by Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer not respecting her requests for confidentiality,“ Cotton said.
Cotton also noted they are investigating Ford's lawyers, who failed to tell their client that the Senate Judiciary Committee offered to meet her in California for a private testimony, so she wouldn't have to face her fear of flying and board a plane to Washington.
At a rally over the weekend, President Trump mocked Feinstein for pretending not to know who leaked the letter.

“Maybe she didn’t, but that was the worst body language I’ve ever seen,” Trump said.
The president again poked fun her at his news conference at the Rose Garden Monday.
"She probably leaked it but who am I to say?"
“Investigating” is GOP-speak for feel good, pander to the GOP voters nonsense.
Tell us about your chicom spy/driver/handler, beeotch.
They are saying they will investigate shameful Difi, but you and I know they won’t. All for show.
They are just saying this for show. They will be dining with Difi again soon. What a damn joke!
Professional wrestling has far mor integrity than congress.
As with everything else in the Imperial Senate there will never be the votes to expel or censure her. So why bother?

I saw that on another thread. It was hilarious.
Trump gets better with each rally he does. New material every time now.

Yeah Meet Sure
Fixed it.
You can rule out any sexual misconduct with Dianne Frankenstein. She couldn’t get a date if she walked into a prison with a fistful of pardons.
I saw Feinstein....she passed it to someone to leak. It’s the Comey way....
Or maybe get IMRAN AWAN to do it?
FeinSwine leaked SOLELY for the demonic media to POLLUTE people's minds ahead of the additional hearing.
Investigate Hillary/Soros' connection to all of this as well. WHY ISN'T SHE AND THAT MAN IN PRISON ALREADY??
I expect the Kavanaugh Circus will be seen as the turning point after which people are going to be held accountable. The filthy tricks and unfounded accusations have hit a chord even with some life long Democrats. Under this atmosphere of utter disgust towards the rabid rabble rousers and Democrats trying to destroy “innocent until proven guilty” the core value of our legal system, we will see the Republicans emerge with enough backbone to drain the swamp because the country will understand. Decent people are seeing the truth and will support Trump’s efforts. The Democrats made a HUGE mistakeand finally are going to pay.
BFD. Name the last republican investigation that actually produced any meaningful results.
"They betrayed her, She has been victimized by Democrats, said Sen Cotton."
Cotton said Ford's lawyers failed to tell Ford that Judiciary would send staff to California
to depose her, b/c she said she feared flying, are also under investigation.
Only if the Republicans and the media hold them to account for the lying circus. Why would you expect either?
