She has known about it for months. She releases the information 1 week before the confirmation vote in order to delay the vote... and that is her only reason. She doesn't care about the lady, it is an ends to a mean. Welcome to D.C. politics. She wasn't waiting the lady to decide if she wanted to remain unknown.... if that were the case, the name wouldn't have been withheld until the end of the weekend. I am laying odds that the lady will not even testify now in Congress because she has no clue what happened at the party; she was likely blitzed herself and couldn't tell you who she actually slept with and whether or not it was consensual. Who would want to be broadcast to the public answering the question... "can you say definitively that Mr. Kav was at the party, with 100% certainty, and he committed this act against you after you had drank more than one beer?"
