#4 Feinstein looked awfully feeble sitting there with her staff coaching her on what to say. She really needs to retire. Hopefully, California voters will make that decision for her in November.
And she really is the main villain in all of this. Dr. Ford is an old birdbrain who did not appear to understand the gravity of her situation. Possibly she is also a pathological liar but, still, not capable of understanding everything that was happening.
If Feinstein had a shred of decency she would have told Ford to forget the whole thing because there was no evidence. Instead she let this poor, befuddled sinecurist make a fool of herself in front of the whole world while besmirching the character of a good man.
If Feinstein wasn't such a Machiavellian she would have been forthright with Ford, "No, dear. You don't get to come out of the woodwork at the eleventh hour before a confirmation vote and demand an FBI investigation without any credible evidence."
But then, Feinstein is a Democrat and that's just the way they are. |
[Hot Air] Late in the hearing today there was an exchange involving Sens. Cruz, Cornyn, and Feinstein over who leaked Christine Blasey Ford’s letter to the media. It began with Sen. Cruz accusing Democrats of leaking the letter to the media. "Dr. Ford told this committee that the only people to whom she gave her letter were her attorneys, the ranking member, and her Member of Congress," Cruz said. He continued, "And she stated that she and her attorneys did not release the letter which means the only people that could have released that letter were either the ranking member and her staff or the Democratic Member of Congress...That is not a fair process."
