Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein has come under heavy fire from both sides of the aisle for her handling of the unsubstantiated accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about an alleged sexual assault dating back 36 years, when the accuser and Kavanaugh were both in high school. Feinstein only ramped up the pressure on herself on Tuesday with a comment she is now scrambling to walk back.
Speaking to Fox News Tuesday, Feinstein said she "can't say everything's truthful" about the accusation from California professor Christine Blasey Ford.
Ford, said Feinstein, is "a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted, on this," Fox's Chad Pergram reports. "I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know," Feinstein added.
Feinstein also told Fox that she knows that Ford "did not want to go public," which is "why I made the letter," but the situation was taken out of her control. Asked what will happen if Ford decides not to testify Monday, Feinstein said, "I have no say," stressing that the handling of the hearing is in Republicans' hands.
Within an hour of her "truthful" comments causing a stir among media outlets on the left and right, Feinstein "clarified" that she believes the accuser is "credible."

She should be expelled from the Senate but I won't be holding my breath waiting for it.

Ordinarilly the threat of expulsion from anywhere wouldn't matter much to the average 85 year old. But DiFi is running for another 6 year term, so who knows.

Tucker Carlson just reported that an hour ago, Ms. Ford said she would decline to appear...until the FBI did an investigation.

The FBI has said they will not investigate.
Vote should be on Thursday. :shrug:
