Feinstein Hammered For Hypocrisy In Kavanaugh Hearing

Sen. Dianne Feinstein - the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee who held a letter detailing Christine Blasey Ford's allegations for over a month before submitting it to the FBI just days before the committee's vote - was the first Democrat to ask Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh questions after his impassioned and powerful opening statement at the hearing Thursday.

Feinstein began by asking Kavanaugh why he isn't calling for an FBI investigation, a question he already addressed in his emphatic declaration of his innocence on all sexual misconduct charges in his opening statement.

Unwilling to let her play the obvious political game, Kavanaugh repeated that he has been asking to come forward and clear his name from the first moment Ford's allegation came to light.

Things got particularly heated when Feinstein asked Kavanaugh about the unsubstantiated and highly dubious second and third accusations against him, which include the baseless "Gang rape train" allegation from a client of Michael Avenatti, the hyper-partisan lawyer of porn star Stormy Daniels.

Kavanaugh responded by slamming the "Farce" of the "Gang rape" claim and making clear to Feinstein that he was not going to countenance her attempts to criticize him for supposedly not calling for an FBI investigation.

The strongest condemnation of Feinstein and her fellow Democrats at the hearing came from Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Other comments by Feinstein during the hearing have brought even more scrutiny on her eleventh-hour revelation of the letter.
