The events of the past week have done nothing to dim that frustration, and, judging by two letters Grassley sent to his colleagues Wednesday afternoon, he's completely through with entertaining their drama - even for a nanosecond.
One letter was sent to Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the other to Sen. Dianne Feinstein individually.
In the group letter, he attempted to educate these Senators about the FBI background check process and the inability of the Legislative Branch to commandeer an Executive Branch agency.
New Grassley ltr to SJC Dems: "I certainly understand why Dr. Ford might be distrustful of the Committee's ability to keep matters confidential based on the Democratic members' recent conduct".
In the letter to Feinstein, Grassley notes that she's had this information for seven weeks and had numerous opportunities to address the allegations with Grassley and/or Kavanaugh without revealing the identity of the accuser, and behind closed doors where it wouldn't be public.
"Sexual assault allegations deserve serious attention, and those who make such allegations must be heard. They should not be deployed strategically for political gain. You received this letter approximately seven weeks ago. But the contents of the letter were leaked only last week when it appeared the Senate was about to confirm Judge Kavanaugh."
It is absurd that Grassley has not received an unredacted copy of the letter at this point, and absolutely hypocritical that the same people who were throwing a hissy fit about not having every memo Brett Kavanaugh ever looked at, unredacted, are withholding such a vital piece of information from their colleagues who are also charged with a duty to the Constitution, the President, and the American people.
