Dianne Feinstein refers mystery matter involving Brett Kavanaugh to 'federal investigative authorities'
by Melissa Quinn
| September 13, 2018 01:15 PM
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Thursday she has referred a matter involving Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to “federal investigative authorities,†but declined to provide further details on the information she received.
“I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court,†Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.â€
Feinstein’s statement follows a report published by The Intercept on Wednesday describing a letter the California senator was given by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif. Eshoo received the letter from a person affiliated with Stanford University, which describes a matter relayed to that person, according to The Intercept.
The letter reportedly details an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that dates back to their high school days.
Kavanaugh was nominated to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy’s vacancy on the Supreme Court.
The White House did immediately return a request for comment.

It worked for Roy Moore, so it's the go-to strategy.

Senate Democrats sending secret letter about Kavanaugh to FBI
By Jordain Carney - 09/13/18 01:06 PM EDT
Senate Democrats have referred a letter concerning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the FBI for investigation.
“This matter has been referred to the FBI for investigation,†Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat and a member of the Judiciary Committee, told BuzzFeed News on Thursday about the letter.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill that the letter had been referred to the FBI for investigation.
The letter has been the subject of days of intrigue on Capitol Hill but the contents of it have not been publicly disclosed by senators who have seen the document.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was given the letter by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), according to multiple reports.
But Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, has refused to answer multiple questions about the letter over the past two days.
She confirmed in a statement on Thursday that she had referred the matter to federal authorities.
"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further," Feinstein said.
"I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities," she continued.
Questions about the letter boiled over on Wednesday after The Intercept published a report saying Feinstein had refused to share the content of the letter with other members on the committee.
Sources told The Intercept that the letter was relayed by an individual affiliated with Stanford University. Some sources told the publication that it was about an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman while they were in high school.
Attorney Debra Katz is believed to be representing the woman who is the subject of the letter, though she did not confirm that to The Intercept. She also declined to confirm to BuzzFeed News that she is representing the woman, and did not comment further.

Exactly what came to my mind, but Brett has considerably more sophistication.

It never got serious attention but some on the fringe have been saying for months, Kavanaugh might have helped halt a serious investigation into the death of Vince Foster... so there could be a few things.

In desperation to stop Kavanaugh, maybe they'd even use something like this.

"On the fringe" is the relevant part of your post.

"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further," Feinstein said.
So ... someone who refuses to come forward or give her name is supposed to be taken seriously.???

How old was Anita Hill back when Brett was in HS? Was there a Coke can involved?
Man the rats are going full retard on this one.

I'm wondering why she has never demanded an investigation into who tipped off the Chinese Government officials that owned Norinco in the US that the BATF was planning a raid and were going to arrest them all for smuggling machine guns into the country to sell to gangbangers and drug lords. She knows this happened because she was chairing the Senate Committee the BATF had to brief the day before the raid was scheduled.
Evidently they were all tipped off that night by some unknown person,and every single NORINCO official flew out of the country before the raid.
I am almost positive it is just a coincidence that her husband was Norinco's chief legal officer.

Top Judiciary Committee Democrat has mysterious letter alleging Kavanaugh of something in high school but she won't show it to other senators
Top D.C. #MeToo attorney is believed to be representing the woman at the center of whatever allegations the letter might contain

From story above
The Times also reported that Feinstein received the letter 'this summer' – meaning she may have held onto it for dramatic effect at an inopportune moment for Republicans.
That bitch has been sitting on this letter for months waiting for the perfect time to release it..

Fortunately, this is a nothing burger. Brett has been totally vetted.

This is totally about delaying the inevitable vote in any way possible.
Watch some claims appear before some courthouse somewhere claiming Kavanaugh was a rapist or shouted racial epitaphs. 100% abfuscation

If I was Trump, I would call the bitch's bluff, and ask if the so called matter is a felony? IF not, STFU, and bring the senate in for a vote Monday.

It's, "The seriousness of the charge".

The WaPo announced that the FBI will not investigate the claim.
DiFi must be stunned!

So he pulled a prank on a girl with another classmate? Locked her in a room by herself. It hurt her feelings.
No rape.
Didn't get her drunk and had sex.
Didn't even feel her up.

@The Ghost
Maybe that's what Di-Fi is mad about? Maybe SHE had HER heart set on getting raped in college so she could get SOME action,and they just locked her in a room and left laughing?
That would explain a lot of her conduct since then.

She can’t get what she wants through her vote, so she resorts to the promotion of slander? She’s the one who should be locked in a closet.

How do you know? Are you and Di-Fi besties?

@Cyber Liberty
Yeah,but she was still Di-Fi with that charming personality. There are SOME things a man won't do unless he is drunk,and he is drunk enough to do Di-Fi he is too drunk to do her.

Pete, that response is beneath you. Doesn't even make sense.
