Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have referred a letter concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the FBI.

The contents of the letter have been closely guarded by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, as well as California Rep. Anna Eshoo, who originally received the letter and shared it with Feinstein, according to sources familiar with the matter. But whispers of what it contains have made the rounds across Capitol Hill over the past week.

The attention on it burst into the public when The Intercept published a report on the rumors surrounding the letter on Wednesday.

“This matter has been referred to the FBI for investigation,” Sen. Dick Durbin told BuzzFeed News when asked about the letter on Thursday.

In a statement later Thursday, Feinstein confirmed that she had referred the letter to "federal investigative authorities."

“I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Feinstein said. "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.”


I'm doubtful that anything will come of this, but it may be something to watch.

The FBI leaked the dossier to BuzzFeed then started an investigation about it. They probably did it again. False information, then leake it, then start a BS investigation.

#metoo from 40 years ago.

Questions about the letter boiled over on Wednesday after The Intercept published a piece saying Feinstein had refused to share the content of the letter with other members on the committee.

Sources told The Intercept that the letter was relayed by an individual affiliated with Stanford University. Some sources told the publication that it was about an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school.

Attorney Debra Katz is representing the woman who is the subject of the letter, according to The Intercept. She declined to confirm to BuzzFeed News that she is representing the woman, and did not comment further.

I am sure it will do what it is meant to do, they are going to push to far one day and the payback will be unmerciful

My anonymous sources say Kavanaugh may have cheated on a math quiz in the fourth grade. FBI is looking into this. The question had to be asked: Can Kavanaugh be trusted?

Not surprising; any Party/Group that will enable a virtual criminal corruption of our highest Institutions of Law...will do anything to promote their Cause.

Let em' keep it up. Sew the wind...reap a whirlwind. Just wait until what comes AFTER Trump. Michael Moore says that Trump will "be the last President"; He may be right, thanks to Him and His Marxist Revs.

this is to look like fighters, and then to torture kavanaugh when he is on the supreme court. Its a good political move, not sure about good governance.

So the President the Dems call an unindicted co-conspirator has nominated someone to the Supreme Court who is soon to be under FBI investigation ? Will there be another special counsel? How long can we keep up the stall ?
Where does this crap end?
