Sen. Dianne Feinstein refers letter about Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh to federal authorities

The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein of California, said Thursday that she has referred a letter concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to federal authorities.

"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Sen. Feinstein said. "That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities."

Feinstein's announcement came shortly after the committee set a date to vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation.

It followed a report Wednesday night in the investigative news outlet The Intercept that first disclosed the existence of the letter. According to the outlet, the letter is rumored to include details about an incident involving Kavanaugh that took place during his time at Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland.

Georgetown Preparatory School is a high school.

An anonymous woman, who refuses to be identified, in California is writing a letter about something that supposedly happened to Judge Kavanaugh when he was in high school.

This is what the Senate has been reduced to.

Good old “Anonymous”, the Democrats’ best new unverifiable buddy.

As a sophomore, he probably said something "racist" ("Those Blacks certainly are good sprinters!") or "sexist" ("That's a very nice dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver!").

If not for anonymous sources, the Left would have no sources at all.

I'd think his debt to society has been paid by now.

“An anonymous woman, who refuses to be identified...”

One of the first-order principles of American jurisprudence is the right to face your accuser.

Only in third-world banana republics does any law enforcement entity consider anonymous sources viable in a court of law, which the Senate Judicial Commitee is.

Video or it never happened. I’ll accept VHS tape since we’re talking about something from 30+ years ago.

Good news!! This blatant attempt to whip up crazy leftists just before the midterms should backfire spectacularly as they act out.

Did Kavanaugh ask “Who put the pubic hair on my Pepsi can?” thirty years ago?

Why has Senator Finestein not been referred to authorities for investigation?

I’m not sure I understand why the Democrats are determined to make sure that Kavanaugh is filled with hatred and resentment for them for the entire length of his term as a Supreme Court justice, but I think their plan is going to work!

And yet to bring up things in a Democrat’s past is considered mean and playing dirty ... but when they do it it’s being civic minded.

The FBI, no doubt, will handle the matter appropriately.
