OOPS! What is she afraid of now?

Shocker: Dianne Feinstein does not
want the FBI report released

Oh-oh! It looks like DiFi (or as Clarice Feldman calls her, ChiFi) has an inkling that that traps may be springing and witnesses singing in ways that will not help the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee and beyond. Yesterday, she said of the forthcoming FBI report demanded by Judiciary Committee Dems plus Flake, “It would seem to me that if people are going to be identified, this ought to be held very close.” Wait! I thought the American people had a right to know? For reasons known to himself but not me, Mitch McConnell agrees:

McConnell confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that the report will only be seen by senators and will not be made publicly available.

Is Mitch planning to use it for leverage, threatening to expose bad behavior by Judiciary Committee Dems? Or the witness Blasey Ford? Or her well connected lawyers?

We're going to have to wait and see.

Given the level of anger, whichever side comes out better will likely leak it.

Her friend HAS to say that because she would get fired from her govt job if found to have cheated on her polygraph test.

Is McLean willing to take a polygraph again? I wonder what she took one in the first place and why she needed to lie then... "During our time dating, Dr. Ford never brought up anything regarding her experience as a victim of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct. Dr. Ford never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh," the ex writes, adding "While visiting Ford in Hawaii, we traveled around the Hawaiian islands including one time on a propeller plane. Dr. Ford never indicated a fear of flying. Ford's ex goes on to note "Dr. Ford never expressed a fear of closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit," further refuting her testimony. "She ended up living in a very small 500 sq. ft. house with one door."

"Kavanaugh’s defense rested on the core conservative belief that a just society is divided into a small number of winners (guess which side he’s on) and a large number of losers. Those who have a lot of wealth, power, fame and success obviously deserve it. If they didn’t deserve all they have, they wouldn’t have it, you see. They are entitled to it. (They worked their butts off and got into Yale Law School). And with that entitlement comes certain privileges. It is God’s will. It’s an age-old philosophy perhaps expressed most eloquently by Donald Trump, who said: “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy.” It is the same philosophy that argued in the 19th century that if you are a white man, you may own other humans. Slavery is God’s will. Like Trump, Kavanaugh spends an inordinate amount of time justifying his privilege, suggesting that he’s entitled to a lifetime sinecure because he earned it all by himself. By all accounts he worked hard in high school (and partied hard too), but his admission to Yale was greased by attending Georgetown Prep, a pipeline to the Ivies, and by having a grandfather who was a Yale man. A kid who “worked his tail off” at the public Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda would have had a tougher time getting in the door at Yale Law. A hard-working kid at Anacostia High School would have almost no shot, especially if he had “youthful indiscretions” to overcome. In Anacostia, they throw your ass in jail, but in Bethesda, boys will be boys, especially one who is the prosecutor’s son. That is the America that Kavanaugh has devoted his career to protecting." Indeed, Kavanaugh owes his nomination to the Supreme Court directly to his privilege. He got the nod because he is a graduate of Yale Law School, and not, say, the Washington School of Law where his mom worked her butt off to get her law degree. Trump rejected many other qualified contenders from other schools, insisting on a Yale Law grad. It’s not a coincidence that everyone on the Supreme Court graduated from an elite school. Standards, don’t you know? Of course, you don’t have to be a middle-aged preppy white bro to be privileged in today’s world. Just this weekend, Kathryn Mayorga accused soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo of raping her in Las Vegas in 2009 and then buying her silence. Mayorga told Der Spiegel that Ronaldo became remorseful after he was finished using her. His lust temporarily satiated, Mr. Hyde instantly vanished, and Ronaldo was himself again. “Ninety-nine percent of me is a good guy,” he told her through his tears. “I just don’t know about the other 1%.” It’s that 1% we all need to worry about.
