Reminds of Trump's recent whine about the "conspiracy" to defeat Kavanaugh's nomination. Stripped of the venomous divisiveness and paranoia, that would be the millions of people and their representatives who view Kavanaugh as a dagger aimed at the heart of America, a political tool wielded by the extreme right.
In other words, politics.
As a political gambit, I think Feinstein's use of Ford's letter is pretty weak. But I don't think it was ever seriously intended as more than a Hail Mary pass with no serious chance of derailing Kavanaugh's nomination. But it sure as hell shines a spotlight on the desperation of Senate Republicans to rush Kavanaugh's approval through before the midterms. Why the rush? Why suppress most of the documents? Why not at least investigate Ford's claim? Anita Hill's allegations got an airing; what's different now?
We know the answer to all those rhetorical questions, don't we?
