Dianne Feinstein: FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh allegation 'should happen before' vote

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D.Calif., said on Sunday there should be a full FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh following an interview given by a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago.

“From the outset, I have believed these allegations were extremely serious and bear heavily on Judge Kavanaugh’s character,” the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement.

The woman alleging that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school went public on Sunday in an interview with the Washington Post. Christine Blasey Ford said he groped her, tried to tear off her clothes, and covered her mouth when she tried to scream at a party in Maryland.

Ford had previously written a letter to her Democratic congresswoman detailing the incident, which was then given to Feinstein, who referred the matter to “federal investigative authorities." The letter — not her name — was leaked in the past week, even though Ford she said she had no intention of going public with her allegations.

The Post interview with Ford — who said she thought Kavanaugh "might inadvertently kill me" during the alleged incident — comes days before the Senate Judiciary Committee is set to hold a vote on his nomination.

Kavanaugh is expected to win narrow confirmation.

Well maybe Senataor Feinslime you should have brought these allegations forth some time before or during the hearing, instead of a well timed political hail Mary.

By all means let’s investigate.

I would dearly love to see a subpoena issued for all communications between Ms Ford and the senator’s office.

That would be a barrel of fun but we need to get this nomination through. It should be voted on promptly.

Haul all their asses before the senate cameras ... the husband, the alleged victim, the psychologist, her colleagues, her children, her neighbors, her friends from high school   ---  put them all under a public microscope. 

I want to know what was driving the "couples therapy" and the need to pull out the "assaulted card" after decades.  I want to know who she's communicated with in Congress, what was said, and who's paying her legal fees. I want to know every nuance of her political activism and voting record.   She has volunteered for this mission, so show no mercy.

This BS has to stop.  ENOUGH!

Can't they just vote and be done with it?  Confirmation hearings are so pointless.

 FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh allegation 'should happen before' vote...

You mean like how it was 'preposterous' to ask for investigation of Sotomayor's affiliation and service with The National Council of La Raza??

Screw FrankenFeinstein.  Vote TOMORROW to approve Kavanaugh and give the Libs the middle finger as they did with our concerns over their nominees.

Hey Feinswine, you stupid idiot!  By your own word, you had months to do this and you failed.  You had ONE JOB!

This ploy is obvious as all get-out to those of us who watch these things, so she's obviously counting in the low-information people to pull this shit off.

You misunderstand.  This is not about vetting Kavanaugh.  This is not about stopping Kavanaugh's confirmation.  This is about having "The Republicans put a wannabe rapist on the SCOTUS" as a campaign issue to flog from now until the Democrats turn the US into a one-party state, the US fragments or is conquered by a hostile power, Jesus comes in glory, or the sun turns into a red giant, whichever happens first.

Well, duh!
