The fact is that Feinstein has been on the Intelligence Committee throughout all of the torture and NSA violations. In short she has known all along and couldn't say a word about it. If she was "emotional" she would have called them out in 2002 or 2003. I know quite a few octogenarians that I would put against just about any young'un in a debate. I wouldn't give the vast majority of the Senators in office today a chance against her.
