Mcclatchy: leaking Ford's letter not illegal, doesn't break rules

[Ted Frazier]

McClatchy Newspapers has a reality check:

But there’s a big problem — regardless of who leaked the letter, it isn’t a crime, or even a violation of Senate rules.

Republicans calling for an investigalion are either dumb out doing it for show.

The letter isn’t classified information, which is a requirement for it to violate any ethics rule or law.

GOP calls for investigation of Feinstein over Ford letter. But there’s a big problem.

That's not the point. The point is to discover who betrayed Ford, or - whether the whole thing was a scam devised by the Democrats.

I tend to believe the latter.

The "big problem" would be for the Democrat on that commission who leaked the letter despite Ms. Ford's desire to be anonymous! Who cares if it was legal...that was never the issue! The issue is holding it back until the last moment and then using Ford like disposable tissue to try and stall the confirmation vote! Whoever it was that did that and then sat on that stage and praised Ford's bravery for coming forward is going to be revealed as one AMAZINGLY two faced poseur.

 

[Oldstyle]

And by the way...my guess on that is Kamala Harris!

 

[Oddball]

So they're not even denying that they're a bunch of skunks....Just that their skunkery isn't illegal.

Methinks we're getting close to discovering the perp.

It's obvious what these people did to Ms. Ford. Feinstein set her up with Katz as a lawyer. Then the Democrats sat on the allegations until two days before the confirmation vote and then sprung them on an unsuspecting Kavanaugh while screaming bloody murder about the NEED for a full investigation! Every single one of them that was complicit in this smear job should be exposed for what they did. It's not illegal but it sure is sleazy!

Making a false claim that she didn’t leak it; during official proceedings is surely a violation of some sort...

They need another distraction - If the Senate won't take it up, Nunes, Meadows & Jordan will be happy to take over in the House

Senate ethics. Believe it or not; they supposedly do have expected codes of conduct. Being a leftist yourself; your shock is unsurprising...

Mcclatchy: leaking Ford's letter not illegal, doesn't break rules


Diane Feinstein held an UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR in her hands for 6 weeks in the form of a letter in which the subject of that rumor - Christine Ford - made it clear that she did not want to go public with this information and did not want her identity exposed.

Feinstein had 6 weeks to QUIETLY go to the Senate Committee and the FBI and ask them to investigate the RUMOR.
- She CHOSE not to. She CHOSE to hold onto the information, to spring it on everyone in the last desperate minute in an attempt to derail the Confirmation by destroying / 'Herman Cain'ing Kavanaugh WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE.

During the hearing Feinstein and Dick Durbin demanded Kavanaugh DO THEIR JOBS by demanding the Confirmation be stopped and CALLING FOR AN FBI INVESTIGATION (#7). Again, Feinstein and the Democrats had 6 WEEKS to ask for this investigation, AN INVESTIGATION WHICH HAS TAKEN ALL OF 3 DAYS TO GET DONE. meaning if they had asked for this investigation 6 weeks ago:
-- Kavanaugh and his family could have been spared of the very public Democrats 'politics of personal destruction' scorched-earth' strategy

-- This FBI investigation would have wrapped up up 5 WEEKS ago, and there would never have been a delay in Kavanaugh's Confirmation!


AT THE VERY LEAST Feinstein proved to have been CRIMINALLY RECKLESS in her 'rush to publicly accuse and crucify Kavanaugh in the press!

What she did was DESPICABLE and constitutes willful, reckless, unprofessional, and unacceptable attack on a US citizen, using her Federal Political office / position / power to affect that attack...it was / is CONDUCT UNBECOMING AND UN-ACCEPTABLE OF A MEMBER OF THE US SENATE!

The interesting thing is that the Repubs on the committee knew about it prior to the "leak" and did nothing but get people lined up to support Kav.

Some fucked up politicking going on

It may have been unethical, but I agree, nothing illegal took place.

 

[easyt65]

AS FAR AS SENTAE 'ETHICS' GOES, the President needs to demand the creation of / appointment of / needs to appoint an 'outside DC', objective Govt position that is responsible for creating / defining Government 'ETHICS', a position that has full prosecutorial powers - perhaps associated with the DOJ but who does not completely answer to / work for the DOJ / US AG.

If what Feinstein intentionally did does not constitute a breach in Senate 'Ethics' ... if John Conyers and Senate Democrats being exposed for sexual misconduct and creating a Senate Committee whose sole reason for existence was to pay for the silence of their victims over a period of 15 YEARS ... does not meet the 'definition / requirements for being in 'VIOLATION OF SENATE ETHICS RULES' then the entire Senate Ethics Committee should be fired, replaced, and the 'Ethics Rules' need to be updated / re-written!

That's because they knew it was an UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR BASED ON ZERO EVIDENCE.

They knew 6 FBI investigations had already been conducted, nothing was found, and a 7th investigation - as proven - was not needed.

The GOP did not want the 7th investigation, so it was no more THEIR responsibility to ask for one than it was Kavanaugh's responsibility to ask for one!

The Democrats, who held on to the unsubstantiated rumor for 6 weeks and then went public with it without evidence are the ones who finally demanded it when they could have done so 6 weeks earlier.

Stop the BULLSHIT of trying to spin this around and try to make it as if the GOP shares any partial blame for the despicable 'Herman Cain'ing of Kavanaugh the Democrats have been caught perpetrating!

The scum have already exposed themselves. Their low info dopey followers believe everything hook, line, and sinker, but the scum are too stupid to realize they’re setting themselves up for a full onslaught backlash from voters who see right through their sleazy bullshit.
