But the text of the released letter from the accuser to Feinstein lacks specific details of the incident. And notice... the letter released is dated July 30. The meeting with Eshoo was July 20 according to the story. How can anyone deliver a letter that apparently didn't exist?
"The California lawmaker who first heard Christine Blasey Ford's allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh said Wednesday
that she became convinced of Ford's credibility during a lengthy in-person meeting in July and that Ford seemed "terrified" that she might be exposed as an accuser.
Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., met July 20 for roughly 90 minutes with Ford, who lives in her Bay Area district and is a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University, after Ford contacted Eshoo's office about Kavanaugh.
"It was more than obvious to me that she bore the scars of what she had been subjected to," Eshoo said in an interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday.
"She doesn't have a political bone in her body. And she obviously was really terrified about what could become of her and her family.
"At the end of the meeting, I told her that I believed her," she added. "In telling her story, you know, there were details to it, and I believed her."
Details in an interview, but the details weren't in the letter. Wouldn't you put details in the initial communication... or do you need time to research fabricate a narrative?
Eshoo should testify as well Monday.
Eshoo's role in bringing Ford's allegations to light makes her a minor player in a riveting Washington drama whose climax is still to come. Republicans have sharply questioned why it took weeks for Democrats to raise the accusation - airing it only after Kavanaugh underwent weeks of vetting and sat for days of hearings - with some accusing Democrats of staging an ambush.
Eshoo said her actions were dictated by Ford's desire for complete confidentiality about her allegations as she worked through whether and how to bring them to the attention of those vetting Kavanaugh and, potentially, the public.
Ford's request for discretion was observed to the point, Eshoo said, that in her office only she and one other senior aide were fully aware of Ford's claims. When Eshoo and Ford mutually decided to take the matter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Ford's letter laying out her account was hand-delivered to a Feinstein aide in Washington, Eshoo said: "In other words, you don't drop it off at the receptionist's desk."

The Letter.....
July 30 2018
CONFIDENTIAL
Senator Dianne Feinstein
Dear Senator Feinstein;
I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court.
As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak.
Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of REDACTED.
Both were one to two years older than me and students at a local private school.
The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and four others.
Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help.
Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me.
From across the room a very drunken REDACTED said mixed words to Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."
At one point when REDACTED jumped onto the bed the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other. After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me. Both loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.
I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see REDACTED once at the REDACTED where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me.
I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6 I notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed with sharing this information . It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything.
I am available to speak further should you wish to discuss. I am currently REDACTED and will be in REDACTED.
In confidence, REDACTED.

UPDATE: The timeline and facts keep changing...
So Ford and Eshoo did meet over tea and cookies in her office in California on July 20, where they had a detailed talk.
Tex days later the vague letter to Feinstein is written. Why not include the details in the letter? Did Eshoo's staff draft the letter or did Ford? Why weren't the "details" related in the conversation between Ford and Eshoo included in the letter to Feinstein??
"Christine Blasey Ford, the California clinical psychology professor who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were in high school, did not first share her story with Congress in the widely reported anonymous letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
A week before she wrote that letter on July 30, Ford sat down at a conference table in Palo Alto, California, to share her story with Democratic Rep. Anna Eshoo, her congresswoman.
Eshoo described that conversation — which took place over coffee, tea, and cookies on July 20 — to the San Jose Mercury News in a 45-minute interview this week.
“At the end of the meeting, I told her I believed her,” Eshoo told the Mercury News.
Eshoo hand-delivered Ford’s now-infamous letter to Feinstein, her longtime California Democratic senator.
Ford told the Washington Post she was afraid Kavanaugh might “inadvertently kill” her during a party in the early 1980s, alleging that the Supreme Court nominee pinned her to a bed and groped her over a one-piece bathing suit."

So the details are shared with Eshoo, a vague letter is sent to Feinstein, and then a detailed interview with The Washington Post is later conducted.
This is down right fabrication.
