Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley (R), whos running against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D), is calling for a special counsel to investigate Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and her staff over the handling of sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
It raises very troubling ethical question...and thats why Im calling today for a special counsel to investigate the conduct of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, her staff and all other relevant party for violating the confidentiality of Dr. Ford and obstructing the work of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Hawley told reporters on a Monday conference call, referring to the first woman to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.
Feinstein, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, first received a letter in July from California professor Christine Blasey Ford about allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980s.
The California senator has maintained that she didnt come forward with the letter because Ford wanted to remain confidential, but Republicans have continued to criticize Feinstein for her handling of that letter. Ford went public with the allegations in September after reports surfaced that Feinstein gave a letter to the FBI.

Source: The Atlantic
Somebody betrayed her trust for a political purpose, Graham said Sunday morning on ABCs This Week. Were going to do a wholesale, full-scale investigation of what I think was a despicable process to deter it from happening again.

As shocking as the allegations are, we are even more shocked that anyone could say these things about our nominee, and even more that the Democrats rushed these allegations into the public eye without even waiting for our confirmation vote first"

(5,969 posts)isn't that sweet? Of course, her actual accusations are not worth a single thought and they want to elevate the one who attacked her to the highest court. Even if it he did it, it won't change their mind. She mixed him up with someone else anyways.
