You know the story. Professional obstructionist Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been teasing MSM by claiming to have access to a SUPER TOP SECRET letter about Brett Kavanaugh.
“I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the supreme court,” Feinstein said in a statement.
“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,” she added.
The #MeToo implications are there. She WANTS speculation to run wild. She’s playing dirty.
Last night, a source told The Guardian that the letter was about Kavanaugh and a friend locking a girl in a room at a party when they were 17. She got out of the room and…that’s about it.
A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room. The Guardian has not verified the apparent claims in the letter. It is not yet clear who wrote it.
Well, now there’s ANOTHER story. According to Ronan Farrow’s story, that happened, yes, but Kavanaugh allegedly tried to “force” himself on this girl.
The allegation dates back to the early nineteen-eighties, when Kavanaugh was a high-school student at Georgetown Preparatory School, in Bethesda, Maryland, and the woman attended a nearby high school. In the letter, the woman alleged that, during an encounter at a party, Kavanaugh held her down, and that he attempted to force himself on her. She claimed in the letter that Kavanaugh and a classmate of his, both of whom had been drinking, turned up music that was playing in the room to conceal the sound of her protests, and that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand. She was able to free herself. Although the alleged incident took place decades ago and the three individuals involved were minors, the woman said that the memory had been a source of ongoing distress for her, and that she had sought psychological treatment as a Result
Question: If it’s as she claims, why didn’t she come out and say something after it happened? I mean, if the memory has been THAT distressful for her, why didn’t she tell her parents or in the very least, her friends at the time? It must’ve been tragic to cause that kind of mental anguish.
I’m not “victim-blaming.” I have questions. That’s all.
Kavanaugh has responded.
“I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time,” he stated.

It’s a pretty strong, definitive statement.
Additionally, the classmate who was allegedly involved has no recollection of this ever taking place. And the accuser? She won’t even say her NAME. She’d rather keep it a secret and whisper into Feinstein’s ear.
That’s reason enough for suspicion.
Here’s what the article says:
— Kavanaugh denies it.
— The other person who was said to be involved has no recollection of it.
— The accuser won’t come forward, put her name to it, nor be interviewed. https://t.co/ev9MkdZ3eV— Jeremiah Stephan Dunleavy IV (@JerryDunleavy) September 14, 2018
“Kavanaugh’s classmate said of the woman’s allegation, ‘I have no recollection of that.’
The woman declined a request for an interview.”
So we have a woman unwilling to come forward except in a strictly partisan setting and no one else willing to corroborate her story. https://t.co/9yeuWC7Xbo

Honestly that this story keeps changing, such that it’s ratcheted up to 11 now (and only now) makes me disbelieve it as s a poor attempt at character assassination. CC @varadmehta https://t.co/0FTHqDVvIh

I’m not saying that this definitively did not happen. But I remain unconvinced. The fact that not *one* friend of this woman could say, “yes, BK attempted to RAPE my friend in high school” yet someone *in the room* denies it leads me to believe that Kavanaugh is wholly innocent.

I stand by this entire thread. Dianne Feinstein had a letter alleging attempted rape against a nominee for the highest court in the land, and even she took it so unseriously that she didn’t share it with her colleagues or send it to the FBI until months after receiving it.

I for one am shocked that an anonymous and completely unverifiable accusation has been launched by people desperate to end the career of a political opponent.

SHOCKED, I tell you. Truly shocked.
I’m just gonna leave this here.
