(2,002 posts)And I don't know why Feinstein went forward with this. The accuser doesn't want to be identified, doesn't want to "push this forward" and she's had the alleged letter since July. Looks completely political and desperate now. Its not even the business of the FBI. God, why do we shoot ourselves in the foot like this?

I don't want him confirmed, but there is plenty of legitimate arguments against him. This screams "fake" and "desperation" and will be used by the right to weaken the legitimate arguments which have been made.

If he claims it never happened in the first place, how could he disclose it to the FBI? Did he know about the accusation and is just denying it?

(50,302 posts)if he did it once, it's highly likely there are other incidents out there to back up the claim.
