https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/california-professor-writer-of-confidential-brett-kavanaugh-letter-speaks-out-about-her-allegation-of-sexual-assault/2018/09/16/46982194-b846-11e8-94eb-3bd52dfe917b_story.html/e oops derped the links, edited
intercepts article says:
Quote
DEMOCRATS ON THE Senate Judiciary Committee have privately requested to view a Brett Kavanaugh-related document in possession of the panel’s top Democrat, Dianne Feinstein, but the senior California senator has so far refused, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
and wapo article says:
Quote
Earlier this summer, Christine Blasey Ford wrote a confidential letter to a senior Democratic lawmaker alleging that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago, when they were high school students in suburban Maryland
How can Feinstein pretend that those leaks came from her Beach Friends instead of from Feinstein or Achoo's office?
The original articles aren't about the accusation itself, but Feinstein's possession of a document making the allegation and how it was being handled.
Which is something Blasey Ford couldn't even know. What, is Feinstein keeping her in the loop about palace intrigue with the letter after she received it? Why? How?
Those accounts are totally inconsistent with friends approaching the media. Thats 100% a leak, and obviously a politically timed one.
