Feinstein’s handling of the situation is fireable as far as I’m concerned. I really don’t think an unbiased investigation could be done at this point. I don’t think she could take a chance on it being false and chose the best way to score political points.
It can by independent investigators. It can't by the committee. I'm very surprised that the committee chairman hasn't asked for one. I'm very surprised the president hasn't asked the FBI to do one.
It's over in the Rosenstein thread now, where I meant to post it in the first place.
When I wrote the post about my wife I nearly ended it with a sentence saying that if she came forward to the Senate and was treated like this and her rapist was confirmed anyway we would probably be finding a new country to live in. This doesn’t surprise me.
If Grassley and his cohorts thought Kavanaugh was innocent and Ford was making he story up, they would have pushed everything back a week, let the FBI show Ford was a pawn in a political game, then confirmed Kavanaugh with momentum into midterms after the debacle.
I’ve planted the seed of my daughter considering going to college in another country. There are a lot of great college ms and universities overseas offering incentives to draw American students turned off by the cost and financing of higher education here.
Damn, sorry dude. I sincerely wasnt trying to insult you and i feel bad you took it that way.
Didn’t she refer it to the FBI pretty soon after she got the letter? Wouldn’t that be more appropriate than sharing an anonymous accusation with the senate committee? (I guess it would have been appropriate for her to share with her colleagues behind closed doors)
No. A lot of us would be the children that wouldn't have a choice but to live with the bad parent.
Are we sure she did anything wrong? Or is just the assumption she was responsible for the leak?
Once she received the letter, I think she should have worked with Dr. Ford to convince her to allow her to pass it along without her name redacted. With the name redacted and the promise of anonymity, there was really nothing that could be done in terms of any productive investigation. I guess I’m assuming that Feinstein didn’t do more to try to bring this matter to the forefront earlier.
Right. Didn't she refer this to the FBI? Isn't that what we would have wanted?
Wait, I thought it was an anonymous letter to Feinstein. I guess it shows how much I know about this.
I don’t think she really has much choice at this point. Her life is going to be in pieces anyway, she may as well minimize the damage by telling her story under oath.
It is entirely appropriate to allow a woman who’s otherwise going to go through what this woman has been going through to stay anonymous and stay out of it.
I agree with this. But I’d also say that if Dr. Ford wanted to ensure that she remained anonymous, she probably shouldn’t have met with her congresswoman in person to discuss the matter in detail and then signed her name to a letter to be sent to Feinstein.
She was told it would be confidential. She asked for it to be confidential in writing to confirm that.
It's my understand that she did. The letter was passed to her by a state Rep. She contacted ford who wished to remain anonymous. She attempted to get her to come out and when she did not, feinstein released the letter redacting Fords name.
When I think of this situation...It never comes close to thinking any of this is good for her.
Drama Queen. A ton of Hollywood Elites said the same thing when Trump was elected by a historical electoral landslide. Unfortunately, they are still here.
Yet anyone that says the same about the Ford/Kavanaugh situation so far gets destroyed. Weird that all these stats that say women don't make up accusations and yet two of them did against Bill Clinton. What are the odds that one guy gets accused falsely twice when so few women make false accusations?
If I had said that Broaderrick and Wiley seem unconvincing to me without ever having seen or heard them, I would be destroyed too, rightfully so.
