Democrats are really pulling out all the stops to try to thwart Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. In a statement released earlier this afternoon, Dianne Feinstien claims she received information from an unnamed source concerning Kavanaugh’s nomination and has passed a letter on to the F.B.I.

No one knows what the letter contains but rumors are swirling that it might have something to do with Kavanaugh and a woman during his high school days.
Yes, you read that right.
So the Dianne Feinstein letter is reportedly a fourth-hand telling of a story that dates back to when Kavanaugh was in high school. If this is the new Senate standard, how many people have we disqualified from public service? https://t.co/Y427fCV4ps pic.twitter.com/BcweuQNsaU

Feinstein didn’t share it with other Democrat committee leaders either.

Sounds like a desperate, last ditch effort to delay a vote to me.
So there’s a super secret letter, not shared w/ R’s, that cannot be commented on by the people confirming its existence — & could involve an alleged incident (no details) that might or might not have occurred in the early 80s, when Kavanaugh was in high school. Seems legit. 👌

Kavanaugh is 53-years-old. This accusation, of which we know nothing about but have some rumors, occurred 35+ years ago.
This is more desperate than the Romney hair-cutting story

“Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh may have committed a very serious crime — possibly even a sex crime. Or maybe he didn’t.”
I’m calling it — this bullshit will go down in history as one of the dumbest things ever written.
The @WeeklyStandard was right about @ThinkProgress. https://t.co/L49tVSyq9H

Bull. No way. This accusation deserves to be dismissed out of hand unless it comes with some very compelling evidence. A story from high school, that only surfaces now when the guy is about to be confirmed for the Supreme Court, is simply laughable. https://t.co/dOIui9G2f7
