Telling other Dem members of the committee would have almost certainly meant a leak. She probably could have reported it to the FBI earlier, but who knows how long that would have stayed quiet? This article makes a lot of assumptions about Feinstein's motivations.

Anyway, even if the accuser is 100% right, I doubt this will stop anything. The allegations against Clarence Thomas were much worse (and much more recent). He still got through. Granted, #MeToo wasn't a thing back then, but I think this slows the nomination down at best.
This is also a precious white victim vs black.

Read. The. Article.

Going to the FBI won't create leaks.
