Everything that has been done on both sides of this has been done with a political calculus. What I find interesting is that there are people discussing a presumption of innocence with regards to Kavanaugh, yet they abandon that with this situation. We have information that Ford didn't want this shared and Feinstein was waiting for Ford's ok to do so. Yet people are all about assigning nefarious intent to the actions she took. At the same time, there are those unwilling to see the partisan moves on the left and are assigning them to the right.

Again, I don't doubt the political motives behind Feinstein's actions, but this double standard is something I have been finding interesting. There are a ton of red flags with regards to Kavanaugh based on his testimony and his actions in front of the committee. Neither side comes out clean from this in any way because of the way they handled it all.

I cannot say with any certainty that Feinstein released it; what I have blamed Feinstein for is sitting on the information instead of turning it over to the FBI for a confidential investigation immediately. As I said she is not clergy. If she had knowledge of a crime, she had an obligation to share it with the authorities.
