Feinstein releases cryptic statement about Brett Kavanaugh nomination
Fox News ^ | September 13, 2018 | Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 09/13/2018 1:31:35 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Thursday threw a cryptic curveball at Brett Kavanaugh, insinuating the Supreme Court nominee could be guilty of a crime even as Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee seek to delay his confirmation.

The vague accusation comes after the Senate Judiciary Committee already grilled Kavanaugh and other witnesses and prepares to vote on sending his nomination to the full Senate.

A spokesperson for Feinstein declined Fox News’ request to elaborate on the lawmaker’s statement, but there has been much speculation that she is referring to a secret letter that has been the subject of intrigue on Capitol Hill over the last few days. A source familiar with the confirmation proceedings told Fox News that Feinstein received the letter back in July, but did not make its existence known publicly until Thursday.

The woman referenced in the letter has yet to be identified, but is being represented by Debra Katz, a whistleblower attorney who works with #MeToo survivors, according to The Intercept.

Despite the turmoil over the letter, a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said there is no plan to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Grassley set the panel's vote on Kavanaugh for Sept. 20 and Republicans hope to confirm Kavanaugh by the start of the new court session Oct. 1.

The White House attacked Feinstein's statment as an 11th hour attack on the nominee.

“Throughout his confirmation process, Judge Kavanaugh has had 65 meetings with senators—including with Senator Feinstein—sat through over 30 hours of testimony, addressed over 2,000 questions in a public setting and additional questions in a confidential session," White House spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement. "Not until the eve of his confirmation has Sen. Feinstein or anyone raised the specter of new ‘information’ about him."

Dems throw out allegations without any regard for evidence. They know the compliant media will pick them up and run with them. They can always retract — later — after the damage is done.

Eventually, something might actually stick to the wall.

Cryptic?

Of course it was ‘cryptic’. by making it mysterious, she and her co-conspirators let people imagine whatever they want about Kavenaugh and some girl, without giving anyone on the right side to defend, refute or completely debunk the charges.

And turning it over to (her Deep State buddies in) the FBI to ‘investigate’.... Yeah, we all trust the FBI to be honest and fair, don’t we?

Last minute desperation from the left.

Someone on another thread on another site pointed out that Kavenaugh went to an All Boys High school, so any woman who claims she went to high school with him is a liar.

This hag passed whatever garbage she has to the appropriate authorities knowing that whatever made-up allegation is far beyond any statute of limitations. These people are pathetic.

Please remember that Roy Moore was brought down by a signature in a high school yearbook...... that was enough for the victim class to believe anything the woman said. Prayers for Kavanaugh......the Dems are pulling out all the stops.

And Sarah Barracuda up above at #15, which I missed on the first scan of comment.

And here I was beginning to believe that perhaps this old hag had “somehow” gained some sanity in her dotage. Guess not. She ought to be ashamed of herself and reliable/honest news correspondents should hound her everywhere she goes until she is forced to admit that this is one of the dirtiest tricks yet from democrats. Someone’s pulling an Anita Hill. If the country doesn’t see the democrats for what they truly are, we’re doomed. Kavanaugh isn’t just going to reverse Roe v Wade; he’s going to assault every female he ever comes across if confirmed.

This was supposed to have happened when Kavanaugh and the “whatever” were in high school. Together??? If they claim that, that would be a neat trick since he went to a Jesuit all boys school. And she is claiming the news she received is “CRIMINAL” in nature? This “thing” has a lawyer?

If there was any hanky-panky going on with Kavanaugh and a girl when they were both of high school age, he must have been MUCH different from other high school boys. Never heard of such a thing!!!!!!!

But then on the other hand, better lock up all high school boys right now to avoid this coming up some time in their future - even 30-40 years away!

Teens make so many mistakes in high school, some of them illegal, that unless he raped a girl or bullied somebody into committing suicide, I don't want anything to do with this.

As an aside, I have it on good authority from a secret source that Feinstein has something awful in her closet. I don't know exactly what it is, but suffice it to say, she eats babies.*

The schools when I went to high school were segregated by gender, but we girls still dated boys from other schools.
