Cotton: Feinstein’s Office and Ford’s Lawyers to be Investigated
A Senator from Arkansas said Saturday that the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) as well as the attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford will be investigated as part of the fallout from the Democrat smear of Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
“Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office will be investigated to determine whether it leaked a confidential letter from one of Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers, Sen. Tom Cotton said Sunday,” according to a report. “Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, also said lawyers recommended to Christine Blasey Ford by Democrats will face a Washington, D.C., bar investigation for telling her that Senate Judiciary Committee staffers would not travel to California to interview her about her sexual-assault allegation.”
Both revelations – that Feinstein’s office likely leaked Ford’s confidential letter, and that her attorney’s failed to tell her that investigators would come to her in California – came from Ford’s testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

On their face, Cotton’s allegations suggest that Feinstein – whose office recommended Deborah Katz, one of Ford’s attorney’s – orchestrated the public allegations and demands for a public hearing for political purposes.
“They have betrayed her,” Cotton said on“Face the Nation” Saturday. “She has been victimized by Democrats … on a search-and-destroy mission for Brett Kavanaugh.”
Cotton also trashed the Democrats, saying that their exploitation of Ford will ultimately discourage more women from reporting sexual assaults.
“Any impact that this entire episode has had on women’s willingness to come forward and report sexual assault, which I encourage them all to do immediately after it happens, is caused by the Democrats, is caused by Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer not respecting her requests for confidentiality,” he said.
If Cotton’s suspicions are confirmed, they will show that Feinstein’s office acted deeply unethically in a last-ditch effort to derail Kavanaugh’s nomination.

Senator Tim Scott Predicts “50% Increase” In Black Support for Trump in 2020
Such a shift would be a game changer.
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is predicting a “50% increase” in support for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
Scott made the prediction in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Friday.
.@SenatorTimScott to Neil: President Trump will see a 50% increase in his African American support, it will go from 8% in 2016 to a minimum of 12% in 2020 pic.twitter.com/a0eCJI70wo

“President Trump will see a 50 percent increase in his African-American support. It will go from 8 percent in 2016 to a minimum of 12 percent in 2020. He may even get to 15 percent of the African American vote, and that is game over.”
Such a small slice of the black vote may seem small, but it very well could prove enough to be impactful in swing states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. Scott pointed to President Trump’s performance on economic policy as a possible factor in drawing black support to the GOP in 2020.
“[Trump] had an executive order to increase affordability of home ownership, and African American home ownership since he took office is up about 2%… President Trump is not just talking a good game, he is walking a good game.”
Scott pointed to the possibility of a Michael Bloomberg nomination alienating some Black Americans from the Democratic Party.
African Americans have been one of the most consistent voting blocs for the Democratic Party since the 1960’s. Some blacks are concerned that they’re not a priority for the Democratic Party in an era where the party has made generous policy concessions to various demographic groups.
A realignment of some Black Americans into the Republican Party wouldn’t be without precedent in American history. African Americans originally strongly supported the reconstruction-era Republican Party when they were granted voting rights(in theory) after the Civil War. The first black U.S Senator and House Representative was a Republican.
