Trump asks if Feinstein leaked allegation against Kavanaugh, says FBI probe may be 'blessing in disguise'



WHEELING, West Virginia — ..........................................................

The president spoke for the first time about his embattled nominee since ordering the additional FBI background check amid sexual misconduct allegations against the judge. Trump made the comments to reporters as he was departing for a reelection rally in West Virginia later Saturday night and he brought up Kavanaugh at the campaign event.

At the raucous Saturday night rally, Trump offered up Feinstein as a possible leak and the crowd booed. The president went on to mock her response at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday when she was asked if she or her staff leaked Ford's allegation against Kavanaugh. She denied that she had.


Trump trashed Democrats and the media at the campaign event, saying the Kavanaugh hearing at which both the nominee and Ford testified showed that the Democrats were full of "anger" and "mean," "nasty" and "untruthful." The president said they were on a "mission to resist, obstruct and destroy. You've seen that over the last four days."

1. He's an idiot - where that allegation came from is NOT part of the "limited" investigation.

If he's going to open up the investigation, he should open it to ALL the women who have been assaulted by Kavanaugh.

demagogues who have been stirring up fear, anger, racism, and misogyny directed against the news media, liberals, "feminazis," Muslims, Latinos, blacks, and other people of color, many of them for a quarter of a century or longer. The rage has been simmering just below the surface for a long time.

I personally do not trust mob psychology under these circumstances and believe it is quite possible that a conflagration could be ignited, especially given Trump's unprincipled rhetoric and his greed and selfishness. I pray I am wrong.

I promise that you are in much, MUCH more immediate grave danger getting in your car every morning and driving to work than you face from a bunch of fat guys running around in the woods playing with their guns and screaming "MAGA". I am dead serious about that.

They want you to be all a-sceered of them, because, like all bullies, they are TERRIFIED. And for good reason. The rest of us outnumber them by at least three-to-one.

3. This is just standard fascist rally fare.

Fascist rallies always need a villainous enemy to boo, often followed by a chant. Insinuating that Feinstein is a criminal is a plus since his supporters don’t need a new chant; they can just recycle “lock her up”.
