Judge Brett Kavanaugh

by Robert Romano: Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) determination to sit down for a niggling to a greater extent than than a calendar month on an allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, contradicted past times a witness, from to a greater extent than than thirty years agone when he was inwards high schoolhouse was a muddied fox non designed to larn to the truth — but to forbid whatsoever vetting of the allegation during the lengthy procedure when Kavanaugh could have got responded directly.

Now, alongside the Kavanaugh Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation vote laid upwardly for Sept. 20, Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey Ford has come upwardly forward, setting upwardly a “me too” 2d akin to Anita Hill testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee inwards 1991 inwards an attempt to torpedo Clarence Thomas’ nomination.

Mark Judge, a author inwards Washington, D.C., who was defendant of beingness inwards the room alongside Kavanaugh together with appears equally the attack’s sole witness likewise Ford together with is defendant of turning upwardly the music to shroud the attack, told the Weekly Standard, “It’s but absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett deed that way.”

It is telling that Feinstein never shared the alphabetic lineament she received inwards July alongside her Senate Judiciary Committee colleagues, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), nor did she convey the allegations frontwards during Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing when he would have got had an chance to reply directly.

Instead, she waited until later the confirmation hearing equally the commission is at nowadays preparing to vote, inwards what tin ship away alone live described equally a desperate, last-ditch effort to derail the nomination alongside an uncorroborated rumor.

Feinstein had explained her rationale for non coming forward alongside the information, but instead passing it off to the FBI: “I have got received information from an private concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That private strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come upwardly frontwards or press the thing further. I have got honored that decision. I have, however, referred the thing to federal investigative authorities.”

Since Ford has come upwardly forward, the Senate Judiciary Committee has issued a statement: “If Ranking Member Feinstein together with other Committee Democrats took this claim seriously, they should have got brought it to the amount Committee’s attending much earlier. Instead, they said nil during 2 articulation telephone calls alongside the nominee inwards August, 4 days of lengthy populace hearings, a unopen session for all commission members alongside the nominee where sensitive topics tin ship away live discussed together with inwards to a greater extent than than 1,300 written questions.”

The FBI for its role has passed on an investigation, according to the Washington Post’s Seung Min Kim together with Elise Viebeck: “Several officials confirmed that the alphabetic lineament was referred to the FBI. But the bureau does non programme to launch a criminal investigation, according to a somebody familiar alongside the thing — a probe that would commonly live handled past times local government if it were inside the statute of limitations.”

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) blasted the last-minute motion past times Feinstein in a statement, saying, “I produce non intend to allow Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation to live stalled because of an 11th hr accusation that Democrats did non run across tally to heighten for over a month. The Senator inwards the best seat to determine the credibility of these accusations made the witting determination non to accept activeness on them, together with the government to whom the accusations have got been referred have got decided non to accept activeness either. Judge Kavanaugh has denied these accusations categorically, the alone other potential witness has no recollection of the alleged event, together with at nowadays 65 women who knew Brett inwards high schoolhouse have got come upwardly frontwards equally witnesses of his strong character.”

Hatch was referring to a alphabetic lineament released past times Grassley of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh together with attested to his character: “We are women who have got known Brett Kavanaugh for to a greater extent than than 35 years together with knew him piece he attended high schoolhouse betwixt 1979 together with 1983. For the entire fourth dimension nosotros have got known Brett Kavanaugh, he has behaved honorably together with treated women alongside respect.”

With the Kavanaugh vote soundless laid upwardly for Sept. 20, Senators Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) together with Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) have got called for the hearing to live delayed then the commission tin ship away listen the allegations. If these allegations are to live vetted, both Ford together with Judge must live invited to evidence before the Senate Judiciary Committee at nowadays nether oath.

For Kavanaugh’s part, he has issued a controversy via the White House that he is willing to evidence on his behalf: “This is a completely fake allegation. I have got never done anything similar what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no consider who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday. I am willing to speak to the Senate Judiciary Committee inwards whatsoever means the Committee deems appropriate to refute this fake allegation, from 36 years ago, together with defend my integrity.”
