I sort of like have a “letter” from…well, I can’t tell you, but I can say that they don’t want to talk about it (whatever “it” is, wink-wink), and they refuse to pursue the matter, so I can't tell you who it is or what it is about (very hush-hush you know). But because this time-sensitive whatever from forty years ago is so, uh, important, I (against the wishes of whoever) sent this, uh, information to the FBI to be like investigated or something.Wow – explosive to say the least. Supporters of Judge Kavanaugh can only hope his nomination will survive such a death blow. Actually, I imagine that the reaction of most people to Feinstein’s charge was “WTF?” That was certainly mine. As in “WTF is she talking about?” In order to clear things up, perhaps I should quote Feinstein’s actual (un-paraphrased) words:
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.
