As Twitchy reported earlier, Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced that she’d turned over to authorities a letter that had some incriminating information about SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman, possibly reaching back as far as his high school years.
Of course, idiots like ThinkProgress’s Ian Millhiser floated the idea that Kavanaugh “may have committed a very serious crime — possibly even a sex crime.” A lot of people starting making #MeToo accusations.
With that insinuation floating around all day, The Guardian has a source who claims to know the contents of the letter, and … well, it doesn’t even rise to the level of Mitt Romney cutting some kid’s hair.
You wally, @imillhiser. https://t.co/ySGleYdHN5

A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room. The Guardian has not verified the apparent claims in the letter. It is not yet clear who wrote it.
That’s it? That’s what she forwarded to authorities? And people were expecting the FBI to investigate?

Oh my god. The actual Kavanaugh allegation turned out to be roughly ten thousands times lamer than I already thought it would be. pic.twitter.com/Em7eAZ6Frp

I… I almost refuse to believe this. The Guardian must be wrong. Who refers this to the FBI? How is it "sexual misconduct"???

I now grant everyone permission to be glib.
LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!

Hold up.
That’s the thing? It wasn’t even about high schoolers hooking up?? https://t.co/macF7BXxxG

So the N.Y. Times and the Washington post all lied when they falsely accused him of sexual misconduct.

Ian Millhiser hardest hit.

My brother locked me in my room about a thousand times. Should I call the Mounties?

I locked my sister in the utility shed for about an hour when I was about that age. Big deal.

When I was a kid, I put a bucket of water on top of a garage side door and told my sister to come in. It landed right on her head, lol.

Good grief. If true, this is new low in what was already a historically ugly process.

This is possibly the dumbest possible referral. Why wasn’t this referred to local authorities when she got it 5 months ago?!

Was the bottle, in fact, spun, Judge Kavanaugh?

This cannot be it. Would the Dems be this horrifically stupid to make themselves look utterly AND completely desperate?!??

Please tell me this is not actually what got referred to the FBI.

How many articles and Op-eds will come out saying being locked alone in a room (and getting out unharmed) as a party prank is just like rape, sexual assault, the first step slaughtering women or, even better, early indication of Kavanaugh's desire to control women? https://t.co/KN2t6m8Wbn

Our guess? A lot. Teen Vogue has probably already published theirs.

I can't believe the FBI declined to investigate this. Why are they complicit? pic.twitter.com/S5ojm68K1O
