From what I've seen--somebody correct me if I'm wrong--she said nothing about it because the person didn't want to come forward. Press got it, and she's confirmed it with minimal detail. Unless she leaked it (which would've happened earlier, IMHO), what else should she have done?

If the claims are serious and well supported, then
@SenFeinstein will want to show that she (1) encouraged the person to come forward and (2) promised to have her back if she did. (But this is getting speculative; I think I'm going to stop now.) -
I agree with that in principle--but I can understand if Feinstein is deliberately releasing as little information as possible, for both Kavanaugh's and the woman's sake. I similarly understand if the GOP doesn't change anything based on this; there's no information to act upon.

You're right, I now see
@SenFeinstein's statement: “That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision." (I guess the Q is: how strongly, & what was senator's response.) - 1 more reply

Perhaps a better question is why you provide a platform for
@EllieNYC, who is by all accounts a pathetic hack. -
Just FYI, I'm no longer managing editor (see below), nor do I own ATL (which is owned by a company called

Apologies to you, then.

Do we know when she first learned of the letter?

Thank you.

A delay would permit our extraordinarily ordinary crop of Senators to further embarrass themselves and, ordinarily, i would support the idea; however since incompetence and insanity doesn’t seem to carry any consequences in our partisan idiocracy, fuck that.

Having tried smear by association (are you now or have you ever been a member of the Federalist Society), the left is now resorting to smear by innuendo. Even Joe McCarthy might have had qualms at their tactics.

There are 2 likely possibilities. 1) The allegation isn’t credible and they delayed releasing it because of skepticism. 2) the allegation might be credible and they waited to release it in the hope that he withdraws and no one can be confirmed before the midterms.

She didn’t bring it up because it’s total bullshit, and she is full of shit even for a politician.

This is the Democrat Play book. Just like they tried to do to Justice Clarence Thomas.

I'd pull Kavanaugh and give them the "extremist" they're mistaking him for. Their behavior merits some form of punishment. Why did people elect these attention-starved babies? This is an embarrassment.

Could one of his written responses contradict the allegations in the letter? That might explain the wait.

Are you now questioning why Feinstein has withheld relevant documents about the nominee?
-
Everyone else with common sense would question her
-
You have the roles mixed up; the questions go to the nominee not the senators. If there is nothing to investigate, there should be no problem. Certainly the GOP senators will vote for him no matter what negative information might be revealed. See, e.g., Jim Jordan.
-
Jim Jordan was a liberal fabrication. Trump collusion is fabrication. Latest Kavanaugh Hail Mary is fabricated. There has been nothing that has been proven yet. And nothing that will be. Try winning an election. Don’t think impeach trump is much of a platform. But go for it.
-
I am neither a liberal or conservative. In my world there are allegations and investigations and evidence. Accordingly, I do think that allegations should be investigated rather than dismissed out of hand. Finally, college wrestlers are not necessarily liberals or fabricators.
-
Every allegation on Jordan was refuted. This was a liberal attempt to silence him on the house hearings related to doj and fbi corruption
-
Jordan has denied knowing anything about the rampant and widespread sexual abuse at OSU. There is no evidence that any "liberal" had anything to do with the wrestlers coming forward about what they saw Jordan observe on a regular basis. Do you have any such evidence?
-
As much as you’ve got that he did something. Jordan doesn’t have to prove anything. His accusers do.
