The gathering of letters prove Republicans, who acted like they had no idea what Feinstein was forwarding to law enforcement yesterday, were lying.
They knew; they were just busy working to try to discredit the victim.

The Kavanaugh accuser was not a classmate. Kavanaugh attended an all boys school.
So, Republicans really had to dig to find 65 high school girls who could vouch for him. This took a lot of time and effort.
