Christine Ford sent her letter with her half-baked allegation about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to Feinstein. It was Feinstein who sat on it rather than acting. It was Feinstein, or her office, who\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/09\/16\/politics\/blasey-ford-kavanaugh-letter-feinstein\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaked the letter to CNN<\/a>. And a substantial body of evidence points to a Feinstein staffer named Heather Sawyer as the source of the leak.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/twitter.com\/seanmdav\/status\/1044062972832894976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1044062972832894976&#038;ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redstate.com%2Fstreiff%2F2018%2F09%2F27%2Fdianne-feinstein-calls-christine-ford-liar%2F<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t necessarily trivial (though it will probably end up being that).<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/twitter.com\/seanmdav\/status\/1044064200031694848?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1044064200031694848&#038;ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redstate.com%2Fstreiff%2F2018%2F09%2F27%2Fdianne-feinstein-calls-christine-ford-liar%2F<\/p>\n<p>Today, Senator John Cornyn brought up the subject of the leak in an exchange with Dianne Feinstein.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Republican Sen.

While I find damn little reason to believe much of anything from Ford, this is one of the rare items that, unlike her grandmother\u2019s funeral, she remembers and which rings true.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein is not, I think, in any real jeopardy beyond having her dubious reputation as a grifter (check the net worth of her husband since she became senator) and employer of last resort of Chinese intelligence agents made more dubious. And Cornyn did a great service by pointing out that this whole sorry spectacle was started by the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. The fact that Feinstein would cavalierly toss her under the bus should be a sign to everyone that no one in the Democrat party cares about Ford. She had a purpose to serve and she served it and now she is totally expendable.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.redstate.com\/streiff\/2018\/09\/27\/dianne-feinstein-calls-christine-ford-liar\/\">Dianne Feinstein Calls Christine Ford a Liar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=104950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104950\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=104950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=104950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=104950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
