Here at the eleventh hour, Sen. Dianne Feinstein discloses a letter from a California woman who claims Brett Kavanaugh attempted a sexual assault on her when they were high school students.
Check List
- The letter from Christine Blasey Ford was dated July 30, 2018
- Feinstein delivered the letter to the FBI on September 12, 2018
- 65 women who knew Brett Kavanaugh in high school sent a letter to Sen. Grassley on September 14, 2018, attesting to his excellent character. Read the letter in full here. An excerpt below:
“Through the more than 35 years we have known him, Brett has stood out for his friendship, character, and integrity. In particular, he has always treated women with decency and respect. That was true when he was in high school, and it has remained true to this day.”
- The accuser became known on September 16, 2018. On this day, she claimed student Mark Judge was present.
- On September 18, 2018, Sen. Feinstein remarked to a Fox News reporter, “I can’t say that everything is truthful. I don’t know.“
- Also on September 18, 2018, Mark Judge stated publicly, “…I have no memory of this alleged incident. Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford’s letter. More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes.“
- On September 19, 2018, we learn Christine Blasey Ford has engaged lawyer Debra Katz who is the vice chair of the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) — a group funded in large part by George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. We further learn Debra Katz has contributed thousands of dollars to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the DNC.
To The Point
Question: Why would an alleged victim need a lawyer to report an assault? If you or I were to be robbed at gunpoint – and survive – we would call 911, not look up a lawyer in the Yellow Pages.
I know I am not the only American who sees this last-minute effort to disqualify Justice Brett Kavanaugh as a nasty political ploy by Sen. Dianne Feinstein to nullify the 2016 election of President Donald Trump. A San Francisco Chronicle editorial denounced Feinstein’s treacherous tactics.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s treatment of a more than 3-decade-old sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was unfair all around.
In concealing the accusation she had received in July, according to reports, Feinstein did a disservice to her Judiciary Committee colleagues, who might have wanted to determine if corroborating accounts were available, or at least question Kavanaugh about the accusation in a closed session.
The Standard of Evidence: two or more witnesses
Obviously, from the story told by Christine Blasey Ford, there was no actual sexual assault only alleged fondling. The one witness she claims was present denies the facts and 65 women fellow students who have known Brett Kavanaugh for over 35 years attest to his good character.
Soros funded? Feinstein presents a letter for which she is uncertain of its veracity? The accuser lawyers up with an attorney who works for George Soros? I sense the rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril.
A centuries-old principle of jurisprudence is found in Deuteronomy 19:15.
“You must not convict anyone of a crime on the testimony of only one witness. The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”
My Opinion
This last-minute tactic by Dianne Feinstein to discredit Justice Brett Kavanaugh mirrors the tactic of Democrats to discredit Justice Clarence Thomas back in 1991 when they brought forth Anita Hill who accused Clarence Thomas of behaviors no other person associated with them corroborated. In fact, all the other women who worked with Thomas testified to his excellent character and respectful treatment of women.
The Judiciary Committee Democrats have demanded and received more documents that have been ever requested in U.S. history for any other judicial nominee. They found nothing because nothing was there. Dianne Feinstein pulled a despicable stunt at the last minute to derail the process.
Brett Kavanaugh’s record speaks for itself. He is a man of integrity, an honorable man who has been accused by one person of misbehavior. His judicial record is impeccable and he should be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
