Senator Feinstein Becomes a Vicious ProgDem Swamp Creature as She Smears Judge Kavanaugh

THE SHOCKING GAMESMANSHIP OF SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN. I have never trusted Dianne Feinstein. First Alert -- she represents California. Second Alert -- she has become a very wealthy woman and one of the richest in the Senate, at least partly because her husband has had many successful business deals with Chinese entities while she is serving as a senior Democrat Senator. I have often told friends that Dianne Feinstein may be the better choice in California, calling her "the Devil we know." That idea has now collapsed as she reveals her vindictive self. • • • THE ALLEGATION LEVIED AT JUDGE KAVANAUGH. Let's go to the Devil's stomping grounds. Bay Area Mercury News reported on Friday that a Bay Area woman claims Brett Kavanaugh tried to force himself on her at high school party decades ago, alleging he held her down and attempted to force himself on her at a party when they were both in high school, according to a new report Friday. Mercury News says : "The allegations, which Kavanaugh has denied, were detailed in a secret a letter sent to Senator Dianne Feinstein that the California Senator never made public. They came to light Friday in a story in The New Yorker by Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow, the journalist whose reporting on sexual harassment has led to the downfall of media and film titans such as Harvey Weinstein and CBS News’ Les Moonves. According to The New Yorker, the letter from the woman claims Kavanaugh put his hand on her mouth while trying to 'force himself on her,' and accuses him and a classmate of turning up the music at the party to drown out her complaints. The woman freed herself, but has felt ongoing distress from the episode, the letter said. 'I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation,' Kavanaugh said in a statement provided by the White House. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.' Kavanaugh’s classmate told The New Yorker that 'I have no recollection of that,' and the woman denied an interview request." Kavanaugh attended Georgetown Preparatory School, an all-boys’ Jesuit high school in Maryland. It was unclear what school the letter writer attended. • Mercury News says : "The woman originally sent the letter to Palo Alto Democrat Anna Eshoo, her congresswoman, and the letter was given to Feinstein earlier this summer, but the woman ultimately decided not to go public. Feinstein’s office told other Democratic Senators that the incident was too old to merit public discussion, The New Yorker reported." • BUT, in a cryptic statement that caused uproar on Capitol Hill, Feinstein said Thursday that she had received information about Kavanaugh’s nomination from an individual who did not want to come forward, and that she had referred the information to federal investigative authorities. Feinstein has not explained why she waited from July to September to reveal the letter's existence or make the FBI referral. • The FBI said they had received the information and added it to Kavanaugh’s background file but were not launching an investigation. • Eshoo spokeswoman Emma Crisci said she cannot comment on the letter due to the office’s confidentiality policy for constituent casework. • • • THE BACKLASH AGAINST FEINSTEIN AND THE SWAMP DEMOCRATS HAS BEEN FAST. The New York Post's Bob Fredericks wrote on Thursday that : "Democrats hit a new low in their crusade against Kavanaugh. Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein at the last minute sent a letter to the Justice Department describing allegations of sexual misconduct involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman -- when they were both high school students. Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the information came from a woman who wanted to remain anonymous, and declined to detail the letter’s contents -- even to her annoyed fellow Dems. • Feinstein said in a statement : "I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. 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.” • The woman making the claims is being represented by Debra Katz, a whistleblower lawyer who works with #MeToo survivors, The Intercept reported. The Intercept also reported the letter was sent by someone associated with Stanford University and involved a woman and Kavanaugh when she and the 53-year-old judge were both in high school. Joseph Abboud, a lawyer at Katz’s firm, said the firm was declining to comment. • The White House issued a furious response -- pointing the finger at Democrat Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer in a statement : “Senator Schumer promised to ‘oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination with everything I have,’ and it appears he is delivering with this 11th hour attempt to delay his confirmation.” The statement offered a vigorous defense of Kavanaugh, whom President Trump had nominated to fill the seat vacated by retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Senator Schumer’s office replied that the Senator “has not had access to the letter but believes the Judiciary Committee is handling it appropriately.” The White House also noted that Kavanaugh, a longtime federal judge who also served in President George W. Bush’s White House, had been repeatedly vetted by the FBI : “Throughout 25 years of public service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has thoroughly and repeatedly vetted Judge Kavanaugh, dating back to 1993, for some of the most highly sensitive roles.” • Judiciary Committee member Senator John Cornyn responded with apparent skepticism about Feinstein’s letter. “Let me get this straight: this is statement about secret letter regarding a secret matter and an unidentified person. Right,” the Texas Republican tweeted Thursday. Cornyn told CNN that the move “smacks of desperation to me.” • Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s spokesman said development would not throw a wrench into the confirmation process : “Senator Grassley is aware of Senator Feinstein’s referral. At this time, he has not seen the letter in question, and is respecting the request for confidentiality. There’s no plan to change the [committee’s] consideration of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination.” • OF COURSE, Feinstein’s fellow Democrat Swamp Creatures want to decide whether or not the letter should be made public. • Meanwhile, 65 women wrote to the Judiciary Committee on Friday, stating that they knew Kavanaugh from high school and vouched for him as a “good person.” The letter, addressed to Feinstein and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, and published by Fox News, stated : “We are women who have known Brett Kavanaugh for more than 35 years and knew him while he attended high school between 1979 and 1983. For the entire time we have known Brett Kavanaugh, he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect. We strongly believe it is important to convey this information to the committee at this time.” • • • FEINSTEIN TIMED REVEALING THE LETTER'S EXISTENCE TO STOP KAVANAUGH. Next week, after extensive hearings and review of his writings, the Senate Judiciary Committee is sheduled to vote on releasing Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the full Senate for a vote. The White House was well within its right to label Feinstein's grandstand play on Thursday as a last-minute gambit. White House spokesperson Kerri Kupec said in a statement : “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. Not until the eve of his confirmation has Sen. Feinstein or anyone raised the specter of new ‘information’ about him." Fox News reported that Feinstein met privately with Kavanaugh on August 20 and also questioned him repeatedly in open and closed session during the Judiciary Committee hearings on his nomination last week. BUT, there is no indication that the matter came up in either the private meeting or the closed committee session. • The FBI, which conducts background checks on all major government appointees, including Supreme Court nominees, issued a statement : “Upon receipt of the information on the night of September 12, we included it as part of Judge Kavanaugh’s background file, as per the standard process.” Fox News says that the White House would have to request that the FBI follow up on the letter for the matter to be investigated further. • Despite the turmoil caused by the letter, a spokesperson for Grassley said there is no plan to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Grassley has set the Judiciary Committee vote on Kavanaugh for Septzmber 20 and Republicans hope to confirm Kavanaugh by the start of the new Supreme Court session on October 1. • • • ONE MORE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT. The ProgDems want to destroy President Trump, and Senator Feinstein has proven that she is deep in the unscrupulous ProgDem Swamp. Lauren DeBellis of Fox News wrote on Friday : "In an act of desperation designed to block Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court by smearing his reputation, Senator Dianne Feinstein hinted Thursday that someone she would not name has made unspecified accusations about Kavanaugh that possibly might involve criminal conduct. Feinstein’s Hail Mary pass came exactly one week before the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on the nomination of the highly qualified judge, who now sits on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Feinstein is leaving it to the media to fill in the facts about her vague and unsubstantiated claims about Kavanaugh, who was nominated by President Trump. She clearly is counting on Trump’s many opponents in the media to help her keep the President’s nominee off the Supreme Court -- as they would seek to do for anyone nominated by Trump." • Feinstein's referral to the FBI, knowing that it will go nowhere, is an indication of her own private evaluation that the letter is meaningless -- either Fake or such an old and unprovable accusation made by one 17-year-old against another 17-year-old. Senator Feinstein has nothing but her desperate hope that the cabal ofd Senate Democrats and their lapdog media will create such a firestorm that Kavanaugh's nomination will stall. DeBellis says : "So much about this just smells like a political skunk, not the least of which is the timing of Feinstein’s public non-release of this new information. If this is an 11th hour power play by Feinstein -- and there’s no “there” there -- then the Senator is playing politics with an otherwise respectable man’s reputation. Kavanaugh has a wife and two young daughters and as far as we know has been an upstanding member of his community....It looks as though Feinstein was saving this 'new' allegations for the last minute and then counting on her smear to keep Kavanaugh from being confirmed. But now that the FBI is saying it has no plans to investigate, it seems like her Hail Mary pass may get intercepted." • Jim Geraghty of the National Review was direct : "Kavanaugh was 17 years old in 1982. Quick, call Agents Mulder, Scully, Cooper, Booth, Dunham, Terranova, and Erskine! Get all the forensics teams out to that party house! Alert the US Attorney! Ready the hostage-rescue teams! Alert Quantico!....We have an allegation of a very serious crime by an accuser who doesn’t want to go public, with no corroborating witnesses or evidence....Every Supreme Court nomination brings some antics and political stunts, but the Democrats have really turned it up to eleven with Kavanaugh. The constant interrupting protesters throughout the confirmation hearing, Cory Booker’s 'I am Spartacus' routine, Kamala Harris’s blatant dishonesty about Kavanaugh’s positions and writing, the implausible 'Kavanaugh refused to shake my hand' stunt from the father of a Parkland-shooting victim, and now this last-minute evidence-free vague accusation. Even by the standards of shameless political stunts and grandstanding, this feels...disproportionate." Geraghty makes a good point : "The Neil Gorsuch confirmation fight wasn’t that long ago, and Democrats didn’t resort to all of this in 2017. Democrats are reacting to everything about Kavanaugh with alarm and horror, even though every step of the process was predictable. Rumors about Justice Kennedy retiring grew louder each year. Judge Kavanaugh is well known and well respected in Washington’s legal community. He wasn’t on Trump’s initial list of potential justices, but he was one of five additions Trump made to the list back in November 2017, eight months before Kennedy announced his retirement. Everyone knew that a 5-4 originalist/strict constructionist/conservative majority was likely to happen...but if we’re being honest with ourselves, replacing Kennedy with Kavanaugh doesn’t really change the dynamics of the Court that dramatically. Kennedy’s decisions on gay rights and gay marriage set his reputation, but he voted with the conservative/strict constructionist/originalist wing on most other issues." • As for the rules of the Senate, which the Democrats like to wave under Senate Majortiy Leader Mitch McConnell's nose at every opportunity -- Mitch is a past master at managing the rules of the Seantea and of the Constitution -- and even some of the rules set up by then Majority Leader Harry Reid when he was trying to get Obama's extremely Progressive Leftist federal judge nominees pushed through the Senate. What goes around comes around. • • • DEAR READERS, I love Jim Geraghty's description of the current ProgDem desperation : "So you’ve got this volcanic, rule-smashing, evidence-free-accusing, decorum-obliterating, dishonest, code-red nuclear meltdown of a reaction from Democrats in response to a well-respected, rigorous, mild-mannered judge....Yes, some of this reflects 2020 ambitions on the part of Booker and Harris, some of this reflects anti-Trump rage, some of this reflects Democratic certainty that on DayOone Kavanaugh would say to his colleagues, 'Hey, everybody, what do you say we ban abortion?' But, one almost wonders if there’s something else at work here. Everyone could see that with 51 Republican Senators and a bunch of red-state Democratic Senators who had voted for Gorsuch seeking reelection, Kavanaugh was a very safe bet for confirmation. Why are Democrats concentrating so much energy and time and focus on a battle they’re certain to lose? It leaves one wondering, is there some other X-factor at work in all this? Are some people worried about the health of Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer or something?" • Good questions, Jim, very good questions. But, I would like highlight one other recent event. BizPac Review reported on September 7 : "Candace Owens is nothing if not passionate, especially when it comes to seeking truth. In light of the manufactured outraged ginned up by Democrats over alleged mistreatment of illegal aliens, Owens took a camera crew to a Broward County ICE detention facility in Florida to take a look for herself. What she discovered, blew her mind....Owens said she was 'incensed, horrified and angry' by what she saw and described the real picture of life inside the facility -- which is a far stretch from what the Democrats are pushing. 'Children are being mistreated in this country. They are not the children that are sent to ICE Immigration centers. The are the children in Chicago, in Baltimore, in Detroit, they are the children that are being ignored while the leftists drum up a bulls**t narrative that these immigration centers are somehow harming people.' ” • Candace Owensthen described what she say at the Broward ICE detention facility for children : "Brightly decorated walls, crafts, a library, three squares, doctor on hand, were just some of the benefits children at the center get to take advantage of, courtesy of the American taxpayers." Owens, compared the space to being nicer than any public school or dorm room she’s ever seen, and vowed to do a complete expose to reveal the truth. “I usually don’t rant like this,” Owens said in conclusion. “I’m infuriated for the children of America who nobody gives a shit about on the left! While they have their fake paid protesters, that are pretending that people inside here are going through anything -- and it is nicer than any public school system that I have ever seen in my life! That is the truth.” Owens noted that she wasn’t saying that children or illegal aliens should be mistreated, but was absolutely infuriated with the scope of the Democrat lie being pushed to cause division and chaos at the expense of poor American kids. “Democrats, you should be disgusted with yourselves! You have caused mayhem, you caused people to be protested, boycotted, attacked violently attacked” over something that wasn’t really happening. “Blow up this Democrat lie!” she said. “These people are treated better than any of our kids in inner cities!” • The antics of Senator Feinstein are very much like those of the ProgDems and Soros-funded protesters who tried to bring down President Trump by accusing him and the GOP of mass mistreatment of children. WHOA !! The tragic truth is that Senators Feinstein, Schumer, Booker, Harris, and every other Democrat Senator who tolerates their leadership are the shameful leaders of an effort to destroy America and its values so that they can rule without any constraint from other points of view about life and society -- that is what their socialist-fascist ideology tells them they have the right to expect from us slobbering, unenlightened conservatives. But, we Deplorables know they are wrong. Wrong about ICE. Wrong about Kavanaugh. Wrong about Trump. Wrong about America. Just plain, brain-dead wrong about everything they touch.
