Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) repeated Thursday that neither she nor her staff leaked Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the press. “She testified here this morning that she had talked to friends about it, and that press had talked to her,” she noted, asked how Blasey Ford’s allegations could have first been made public. The Intercept’s Ryan Grim, who first broke the story, denied Feinstein’s staff leaked Blasey Ford’s letter to him.

This is and has always been a nothingburger. Partisan bullshittery brought to you by the gropers and other miscreants in the GOP. Dr. Ford obviously was willing to come before the committee today so how America found out about her story is now moot as they say. Her history of revealing the trauma years ago to others was far more relevant but ignored by the Republicans, as if it held no significance whatsoever.
