This was Feinstein's statement
“President Trump and Senate Republicans are trying to deflect attention from Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual assault allegations by saying my staff or I leaked the letter from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford—they’re wrong.
“The timeline is clear: I referred the un-redacted letter to the FBI on September 12. That night the FBI added a redacted version to Judge Kavanaugh’s background file, to which all 100 senators have access. The New Yorker published details on September 14, and Dr. Blasey Ford went public in the Washington Post on September 16. It wasn’t until September 17 that someone with access to the redacted version of the letter read it to CNN, where it was published online.
“I honored Dr. Blasey Ford’s request for confidentiality. It was only when reporters were knocking on her door that I referred the letter to the FBI. At no point did I or anyone on my staff divulge Dr. Blasey Ford’s name to press. She knows that and believes it, for which I’m grateful.
“I find it interesting that the same critics who last week condemned me for not releasing Dr. Blasey Ford’s letter against her wishes are now suggesting I did leak the letter.
“Throughout this process I acted in strict accordance to the wishes of the survivor.”

When in this process, did Feinstein inform the judiciary committee of the bombshell?
She can say whatever she wants. She also is one of the crooks who walked out of a hearing on the coronavirus and then dumped stock. But it's OK when she does it, because she's a democrat.

Who said that it was ok or are you lying again?

Just think, now lots of Americans will get checks signed by Trump and they aren't even porn stars.

I saw a LOT of calls, by name, for the Republican guy (Burr?) to get expelled from the senate, and the lady republican from GA also. I've seen nowhere near the media coverage on Feinstein doing the same thing.
Same with this topic. Are you willing to say that the media covered the accusations against Kavanaugh, in a similar fashion to the way they covered the accusations against Biden? No bias? None?
A tiny speck of consistency would go a long, long way...
