HYPOTHESIS: The GOP heard a sexual assault allegation was coming. They needed to do something to discredit the messenger (and by extension, the allegations).
Early July: Christine Blasey Ford contacted @washingtonpost via tipline, and her Congresswoman.
Late July: she sent a letter to @SenFeinstein via her Congresswoman.
She requested the letter be kept confidential.
I hypothesize that by late
What are the people who need Kavanaugh confirmed so they can get on with their treason to do?
Horseshoe the shit out of the story that a spy had worked for @SenFeinstein 5 years ago.
Politico reported this on July 27, 2018.
No matter that @SenFeinstein had fired that spy as soon as @FBI told her he was a spy. (BTW this happened FIVE YEARS AGO)
Those who wanted Kavanaugh confirmed knew they needed to get out ahead of the public release of information about the allegations. They knew the allegations would be made public.
Hence:

Note the spin: the focus is on "tension among Democrats," NOT about the allegations.
