SERIOUSLY? So THIS is what Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s secret Brett Kavanaugh letter was about?

Twitchy  "As Twitchy reported earlier, Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced that she’d turned over to authorities a letter that had some incriminating information about SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman, possibly reaching back as far as his high school years.


"Of course, idiots like ThinkProgress’s Ian Millhiser floated the idea that Kavanaugh “may have committed a very serious crime — possibly even a sex crime.* A lot of people starting making #MeToo accusations.
"With that insinuation floating around all day, The Guardian has a source who claims to know the contents of the letter, and … well, it doesn’t even rise to the level of Mitt Romney cutting some kid’s hair."

* (You mean a sex crime maybe like this by Al Gore in 2010? Two More Massage Therapists Accuse Al Gore of Sexual Assault). Oh, wait; that was a long time ago and Mr. Gore was young then. TD
. . . The former VP is already in hot water, fighting abuse claims in Portland, where another masseuse said Gore groped her in '06 and asked her to perform a "chakra release" (massage-speak for "hand job".) He denies everything." . . .
A source from the luxury hotel in Beverly Hills told The Enquirer: "The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her." He then propositioned her for a sexual act, according to The Enquirer
. . . 
A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room. The Guardian has not verified the apparent claims in the letter. It is not yet clear who wrote it.
"That’s it? That’s what she forwarded to authorities? And people were expecting the FBI to investigate?"

Dianne Feinstein Prepares a Deathblow for Kavanaugh
. . . Actually, I'm even older than that.  I remember when Feinstein told us Clinton's lying under oath in order to avoid losing a #MeToo lawsuit had nothing to do with his fitness to be president.  She did say Clinton's actions were "immoral, deplorable, and indefensible" and merited "strong condemnation and censure."  Given that she voted to acquit Clinton, it would seem that Feinstein believes that being guilty of immoral, deplorable, and indefensible things has no bearing on a person's suitability to be president. . . .
I was bullied back in high school and grade school; the one who did it and I are friends and if he ran for office today there is no way I would dish up this memory from the past to hurt him.  If I had an extreme dislike for his political benefactors it would be a temptation to hurt them, but not my former classmate. But Democrats will hope to make a righteous cause out of it.   TD
