Feinstein should be booted from the Senate

The United States has a long standing tradition of never revealing the names of sexual assault victims. For as long as I can remember, they have been the sole class of victim protected from being revealed publicly. In a very few cases a victim has come forward publicly and therefore their name has become public.
Dianne Feinstein outed Christine Ford for pure political purposes. Now, to be clear, I do not for a minute believe that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted Christine Ford when she was a teenager, but it is a remote possibility that some one did assault her, and that over time she convoluted her memory to believe it was the good Judge. Her testimony sold me on her being a fake. She doctored it. She gave clinical explanations when she should have been speaking from the heart. Worse yet, her memory was vague and contradictory.
For all we know, she met Brett Kavanaugh when they were teens and developed a crush. That crush morphed into rape fantasy and became so ingrained that she began to think it was real. Not likely, but a possibility.
During my time in the military, I saw too many instances where a female subordinate filed charges against a superior of sexual assault. After I became an MP, I had two times where I dealt with victims of rape. The contrast between them and the women who leveled false charges was like night and day.
Regardless, Dr Ford deserved the respect of not having here name spread on every front page in the world. The only way that should happen is if she were proven a Tawana Brawley class liar.
Seeing her reaction when Senator Grassley informed her that the senate would gladly have conducted the interview in California in private was telling. She looked surprised. All I can say is what? Doesn't she ever watch the news? Then again, the fake media might not have reported that.
Regardless, the effects for women who come forward in the future has changed for the worse. How many women will want to risk the public humiliation?
Immediately after the November 6th results are known, the senate should vote to remove Feinstein regardless of whether she wins or is defeated. I would say do it now, but the voters in Mexifornia might take it as an affront and reelect her rather than putting her out to pasture.
For an encore, boot departicus.

Good read. The fact that she talked using psychological terms IS an indicator of made up rhetoric.
