The likely goal of Democrats is to delay a vote on confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and Sen. Diane Feinstein, who produced the letter of a woman accusing the nominee of inappropriate behavior, has yet another trick up her sleeve.
Adding to the cause to delay the vote, Feinstein says there’s still more that senators don’t know about Kavanaugh, according to Talking Points Memo.

No details are given on what other secrets the California Democrat is sitting on, but Feinstein is reportedly rejecting a plan by Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley to arrange follow-up calls to hear from the accuser Christine Blasey Ford before the vote, rather than rescheduling another hearing.

Grassley issued a statement that called into question Feinstein’s “deeply disturbing” behavior regarding the confirmation process.
“Unfortunately, committee Republicans have only known this person’s identity from news reports for less than 24 hours and known about her allegations for less than a week,” he said in the statement.
“Senator Feinstein, on the other hand, has had this information for many weeks and deprived her colleagues of the information necessary to do our jobs. The Minority withheld even the anonymous allegations for six weeks, only to later decide that they were serious enough to investigate on the eve of the committee vote, after the vetting process had been completed.”

One thing is certain, Feinstein brought none of this up during the confirmation hearings, when she questioned Kavanaugh under oath — hearings that are now over.
The hearings are over @SenFeinstein .

Here’s a sampling of reactions from Twitter that exposes Sen. Feinstein’s despicable tactics for what they are:
This isn’t about discovering truth. It’s about delay. Nothing more. https://t.co/mIetDKrkBf

Weird. I guess we should hold hearings so Senators can ask him questions. https://t.co/dON6Yd1rHn

So… why didn't she bring them up at the hearings?? https://t.co/5LE0umby0q

Too bad there's not a process where she gets to question #Kavanaugh directly https://t.co/PlD7JjdL7p

Then why didn't she bring it up while she was questioning him under oath? #ConfirmKavanugh https://t.co/iF9UZphPIX

So Dems are holding back more hand grenades, once Kavanaugh survives the Blasey Ford explosion, they'll throw those https://t.co/OXz7DPo1Vz

Pretty much confirms that they are going all hail Mary at this stage.
Why did Feinstein decide to now release all this information? Why not back in July?
This Ghoul is abusing the MeToo movement by using this alleged sexual assault as a Political Sledgehammer. Its deplorable https://t.co/WhwDf5ICMK

IF @SenFeinstein isn’t helping get this done then to hell with this and move on with the vote NOW since it’s clearly nothing more than a stall tactic which we know dems are really good with.
