Well, this is certainly an interesting turn of events:
From colleague Connor Marley. Feinstein on Ford. Says Ford "is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted, on this..I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know."

Beg your pardon, Dianne Feinstein?
What? https://t.co/r0VnPJyAB3

WHAT!? https://t.co/iBX59OxEA7

Oh dear.
Feinstein sounding increasingly less sure of this gambit. https://t.co/44zcxqTjni

Maybe DiFi doesn't believe her. Maybe that's why she sat on the letter. https://t.co/TY2ARUNTuX

Could be.
Let's give Sen. Feinstein the benefit of the doubt here.
I think she's simply saying that she doesn't know whether the accusation is true, which would hopefully compel her to join her Republican colleagues' invitation for Ford to testify. https://t.co/B5YMjtygm2

Fair enough. But we’re not terribly inclined to give Dianne Feinstein the benefit of the doubt on anything. She certainly hasn’t extended that courtesy to Brett Kavanaugh.
The fissures are turning into cracks https://t.co/OBF8nYV3MQ

Walking VERY dangerous line, Feinstein makes “very sharp” comment about Ford and her allegation against Kavanaugh: It might not be true. https://t.co/QLgl26qR5e

“I can’t say that everything is truthful”
And there we go. Why Feinstein sat on it for months. She didn’t buy it either. But she needed a last-minute Hail Mary so this is what she went for. https://t.co/y8wvgxVBL4

Well I guess we know now why Feinstein isn't giving interviews and journalists are terrified to even ask.

Update:
Special report just played the clip of Feinstein saying “I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know." Quote is accurate.

Feinstein's "I can't say everything is truthful" quote is accurate. Just ran on Fox. pic.twitter.com/MEkrRgG8oV

I can’t stress how horribly this is being managed by Dianne Feinstein. Just an absolute mess. https://t.co/lSi1eeoomc

Update:
Feinstein just now clarifies: “Look I believe she is credible. What we have wanted is an investigation carried out to look at the facts before there was a hearing. The republican majority is apparently not going to do that. But based on what I know at this stage she is credible.” https://t.co/yDldaHTrDe

Uh-huh …
That’s not a clarification on her earlier quote https://t.co/alsDiqyWsm
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) September 18, 2018
Not even a little bit.
This isn't a clarification. This is backtracking. https://t.co/9oEatRIQPt

"When I said I wasn't sure that everything Ford is saying is truthful, what I meant is that I believe she's credible." What a terrific clarification. https://t.co/9oEatRIQPt

Update:
Now might be a good time for one of Dianne Feinstein’s staffers to take her shovel away:
What's the excuse this time? Was Feinstein "pressured" again to release her letter about Kavanaugh like she initially claimed with Glenn Simpson's testimony? Feinstein needs to be held accountable for her actions. pic.twitter.com/G9UUSxrcyC
— Nick Short (@PoliticalShort) September 18, 2018
What does that mean, “I made the letter. That was taken out of my control? “ what does that even mean?
