Not quite sure what to read into this, but it's certainly another question-raising moment about Feinstein's handling of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/14/us/politics/kavanaugh-assault-allegation-letter.html …pic.twitter.com/hwzf9eO7Vl

Replying to @chrisgeidner
Can you explain? I thought it just spoke to her trying to maintain the anonymity of the woman. But maybe I’m missing something?

Not clear what the FBI is able to do with the info if they aren’t even given the person’s name. And, yes, she might have determined the anonymity was necessary to maintain, even from the FBI — but she did not make that clear when she said Thursday that she sent it to the FBI.
