She's upset she wasn't in the loop about this transfer for POW Bergdahl and Gitmo prisoners.
She did this: In 1985, at a press conference, Feinstein revealed details about the hunt for serial killer Richard Ramírez, and in so doing angered detectives by giving away details of his crimes.[20]

Maybe some information is too sensitive for some people to be trusted with this kind of information.
Harsh, hell ya. But she's got the rep.

(62,325 posts)And still, we are told 'vote for Democrats'. She is NOT a Democrat, she is one of those imposters with a D after her name. And she's not the only one. It should be a mission to rid Congress of these pretend Democrats.
I was told today she can't be beaten because the Party Leadership will not fund anyone who challenges her. Well, maybe the people can fund someone to challenge her. Maybe instead of sending their donations to the Party they can send them to a good Progressive Dem candidate who is willing to challenge her.

Fortunately Harman (who's husband runs the audio company giant Harman Kardon company) is no longer a congresswoman, but that didn't stop Feinstein for being adamant about wanting Obama to appoint Harman to be the head of the CIA instead of Leon Panetta who Obama ultimately picked.

We should at least push a more progressive Senate in the coming years to yank Feinstein from the Intelligence committee. She amongst others and her LACK of oversight over the years as a part of it is why our intelligence infrastructure is so out of control now.

(19,537 posts)at the same time she was trying to make a big deal of her bill to control assault weapons that might have passed if SHE hadn't kept the filibuster in place that was used to shut it down.
Methinks she wanted the publicity that she was for gun control, but she wanted to tell the PTB with the campaign money, etc. that she made sure it would fail by voting down those rule changes to protect the NRA and their minions.

(22,000 posts)(literally). But California re-elected her, now they are stuck with her until Jan 2019 (unless she retires early). The sad thing is that there are plenty of very able Ds in California that would fill her shoes (and then some).
