Just asked Feinstein about her comment yesterday about being "pressured" to release the Simpson transcript.
"I made no statement to that effect," she said.
Me: but there are recordings of you saying you felt pressured
"I don't believe there are. I don't believe I said that."

Me: ...Ok. reporters have the recordings
Feinstein: "it appears in one place, and I saw it, and I'm just telling you, you asked me the question, and the question is, it's not correct"

For the record, @desiderioDC has a recording and @mkraju reported the comments as well.
Feinstein's office said yesterday she misspoke -- and she corrected herself as well at the time. But now she's saying she never made the comments, which seems...odd.

And more, for the record: I specifically asked her if she just made a mistake when she was talking yesterday. That's when she said, "No, no. I made no statement to that effect."
