At the withered old age of 87, Dianne Feinstein has evidently served her purpose to an increasingly ruthless Democratic-activist complex in search of younger and shinier new toys. Just two years after Feinstein’s office likely served as the source of the explosive leak responsible for the Left’s Hail Mary attempt to destroy Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, Jane Mayer has decided that the California senator is expired goods.

Just two years ago, Feinstein’s office was widely seen as the source of the letter to Rep. Anna Eshoo’s office from Christine Blasey Ford that was leaked without the latter’s consent. Although the culprit of the leak was pinpointed, little question remains that in some capacity, Ford’s letter made it either directly or through some conduit from a member of Feinstein’s office, not precluding the possibility of Feinstein herself, to the press. In any case, Mayer pounced, putting one of the most thinly vetted sexual misconduct allegations in recent respectable memory to the pages of the New Yorker. Kavanaugh’s former Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez, Mayer and colleague Ronan Farrow wrote, alleged that the eventual justice flashed her at an undergrad party.
