Lion Heart 15,041 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 When Minnesota Senator Al Franken announced on Thursday that he would resign, he made it clear that he did not believe he had besmirched one of the nation’s fundamental organs of government. “I know in my heart, nothing that I have done as a senator—nothing—has brought dishonor on this institution, and I am confident that the Ethics Committee would agree,” he said on the Senate floor, adding that “some of the allegations against me are simply not true,” and others happened “very differently” than they were described to the press. Nevertheless, he stepped aside, becoming the second congressperson to do so in the wake of sexual harassment allegations that week. And it now appears that his resignation is only the tip of a gargantuan iceberg: according to several media reporters, CNN and The Washington Post have dozens of stories in the works to expose at least 20 lawmakers, and potentially as many as 40—over 1 in 10 male members of congress, all told.

I mean some Democrats have been accused too (Franken, Conyers), so it's not really a one-sided equation. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe 17,289 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Time to clean out the place! Although, I feel like Republicans will end up supporting accused Republicans no matter what (see Roy Moore, Donald Trump). Would love to be proven wrong though. No doubt a lot of Democrats will be named too. Hopefully the Democratic party and Democratic voters react appropriately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This has been rumored for about a week now. I think they are holding off until after the Alabama election. Then we can get rid of them all...including Trump! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As investigative journalists you can't just spill out news like a candy dispenser. You have to build a case up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
