As Twitchy told you, yesterday, Dianne Feinstein blamed a “bad cold” for her decision to release the transcript of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee without notifying committee chair Chuck Grassley. That was after she told CNN reporter Manu Raju that she released it without consulting Grassley because she “got pressured.” Which was after she said on Tuesday that she “just decided to do it.”
Well, believe it or not, her story has changed again:
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."

Alrighty, then.

Maybe it time for her to have a mental evaluation.

She's a stable genius.

Ha! But seriously:
Is it time to start questioning Feinstein's mental capacities??? https://t.co/EIpNR34ozt

Perhaps it’s Ms Feinstein whose mental competence should be questioned.

Honest question: What the hell is she on?

No kidding.

If Feinstein genuinely believes she never said what she said, that doesn’t speak well of her mental fitness.
