Senate Republicans have said Judiciary Committee procedures would have allowed Feinstein to preserve Ford's anonymity while raising her allegation confidentially. "Dianne Feinstein and her staff knew about these accusations; they could have done all of this in a private way to protect Dr. Ford," Sanders said. "This cannot become a fishing expedition like the Democrats would like to see it be," Sanders told host Chris Wallace. "I think you have to go back to the very beginning of Day One, when President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh. I could see it pushing back another week, given all of the other things that are going on with the Supreme Court."
