Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) alleged on Wednesday that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was not truthful with senators earlier this month when he said he never violated grand jury secrecy laws during his time working for Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Politico that she obtained a memo from the National Archives that showed Kavanaugh instructed a colleague in the Starr investigation two decades ago to call reporter Chris Ruddy about matters before the grand jury.
Such an action would violate laws that prevent disclosure of grand jury information. Feinstein claimed to Politico that the memo also conflicts with Kavanaugh's testimony earlier this month that he never broke those rules.
Politico reported that Kavanaugh's request to call Ruddy related to questioning of grand jury witness Patrick Knowlton.
Knowlton claimed to have seen someone in Fort Marcy Park shortly before White House lawyer Vince Foster was found dead there in an apparent suicide, which was reviewed as part of Starr's investigation.
Democrats have attempted to argue in recent weeks that Kavanaugh was not entirely forthcoming in some of his answers about his time in the George W. Bush administration during his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
However, those claims have been overshadowed in recent days by sexual misconduct allegations from two women against Kavanaugh.
Christine Blasey Ford alleged earlier this month that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her during a 1980s high school party.
A week later, Deborah Ramirez went public with an allegation that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college party in the 1980s.
Kavanaugh has denied both claims, and said he will not withdraw his nomination. He and Ford are set to testify on Thursday about her accusations.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday rejected Feinstein's calls for the testimony to be delayed until an FBI investigation is ordered and conducted.
Are her poll numbers that bad back home ?
Maybe after the midterms, there will be an investigation opened up on her. With a new attorney general and hopefully more red seats in Congress, it will happen. She’s disgusting.
That’s rich considering how Feinstein misled the entire Judiciary Committee by withholding the letter for weeks on end and ambushing Kavanaugh after the hearings were over and a committee vote was about to occur.
What a hypocrite Feinstein is!
She is a sleazebag. Between her shenanigans in the Kavanaugh hearings and her gun grabbing and her personal shenanigans, she is a festering bag of sleaze.
I couldn’t agree more. Likely that’s the case and Kavanaugh will bat that one away effortlessly.
Feinstein is without doubt one of the biggest liars that ever lived. She is a disgrace to America. How she ever became a U.S. Senator is mind boggling.
Using the same standards she wanted to use with the rape accusation, she should have Sandy Berger prove he did not plant the document in the National Archives or remove related conflicting documents while he was there stealing documents and stuffing them in his pants, and that he didn’t destroy related documents among those he burned in his fireplace.
She and Schumer are a couple of particularly nasty cockroaches who spread their filth in the dark and run for cover whenever bright lights are turned on them
Wouldn’t it be nice to see them and their cohorts get squashed under a great big Republican shoe come November?
The instruction: "Call that @hole reporter who keeps leaving messages and tell him we are not going to discuss Knowlton's testimony."
Interesting how the National Archives can find items DiFi wishes to see, but cannot find the items that apply to Obama & his years in office.
Who would have targeted the National Archives as Deep State players??
A Mother Lode of corruption connected to DiFi is her husband Richard Blum & his contracts with the state of Calif.
Yup. Don’t forget his federal government contracts thanks to access from his WiFi!
Didn’t Sandy Pants steal that email?
no use in considering the dims at all for any reason, not mid terms nothing, steam roller now or lose the country when they take over, if this stands we are gone..if hillary and the bunch do not go to prison, we are gone period
No way Feinswine came up with this Hail Mary on her own, she’s not nearly smart enough for such nuance.
Some smartassed sjw staffer kid, holding most of America in contempt, just thought none of us would notice.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not a “Hail Mary”, but as some one else had said “Hail Lucifer”.
Also, I had a thought. What if Trump had something to do with releasing the letter from CBF? How great is it to witness the Demoncrats crapping all over themselves trying to recover from this?
The Democrats might have had a real short plan where they thought that perhaps Kavanaugh might withdraw upon presentation of the CBF information, but they knew that there was just not enough corroboration of the story.
Perhaps Trump somehow arranged to have this letter released, against the Dems’ wish. You can see how the Dems are flailing about incoherently. They are exposing themselves hilariously as pathologically unhinged deceit-mongers, for all to see, further stripping voters away from the Demos.
If PDJT (GEOTUS)(VSG) had !ANYTHING! to do with the release of the CBF letter, it is surely a brilliant move.
