I already explained my position. You don’t have to agree.

Bullcrap, jack. For most Dems, and for the DemoBorg here, “believe the woman” means "men are pigs and accusations are all that is needed.

Lawyers should believe in a process, and subject anyone accused to said process, once an accusation is made.
Don’t just throw them under the bus when the media inevitably finds out.
This is not the action of a lawyer, let alone Presidential.

Defend her all you want. I, along with many others will never forget her roll in cutting Al Franken’s throat. She will never be in the running or president. Go to facebook and look at the comments under her roll out.

Yes, I do know that there were multiple accusations, none of which meant anything.

I was a charter member of Al for Senate when he first ran. He was one of my favorite Senators. His resignation was on him, no one else.

Yeah, that’s a comment I’ve made, and that I’ve heard. Harris (AG, CA), Gillibrand (big-time lawyer), Warren (law prof, big-time lawyer), all just threw process and fairness out the window with Franken. Why? Lawyers are DEFINED by process.

Thank goodness I’ve learned to never take a sip of coffee before reading your posts because I’d be taking my laptop to be fixed right now.
(I do so apprecitate your wit!)

It was a mistake, as Kavanaugh showed. When bullies attempt to use bully tactics, the best thing to do is to resist, and not give in. Kavanaugh persisted, and was confirmed.
When you give in to bullcrap accusations such as those leveled against Franken, you weaponize the stupid. Bullies must be resisted. Now we are deprived of Franken’s skills, and still have Gillibrand in the Senate. That’s 2 strikes against intelligence, good judgement, and political skill in the D Party.

Here’s my problem with that episode: Sen. Franken deserved a thorough investigation of the allegations, a courtesy Gillibrand extended to her staffer, but not to her colleague in the Senate. Why was that?

Cuz he was a potential obstacle to her ambitions?

We have a right to wonder
Franken decided not to go through with due process. Gillibrand had nothing to do with that decision. She voiced an opinion after several allegations had become public. Al also indicated that he didn’t know how many more there would be. That’s on Al, not on her.

Enjoy your Gillibrand for President run …
You’re far too intelligent to believe that one.

He had the choice to pull a Kavanaugh or Fairfax and dig his heels in. He did not.

Wasn’t referring to that. I was referring to the ridiculously naive “Gillibrand had nothing to do with that decision.”

As a constituent, I used to like her; I thought she showed character development going from center-right-ish to listening to us downstate NY commies and moving left on a number of issues. But I think she’s finished as Presidential candidate.
Her attack on Franken had the look and feel of a very self-interested move, in that Franken, of course, was serious competition for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020. Very few people have forgotten this, and as has been mentioned elsewhere among responses, all you have to do is look at the many brutal comments on social media where she posts. I’m not sure she recovers from this.
This latest bit looks very much as if her office did nothing about the problem of an egregiously obnoxious staffer, obviously very much on their radar at the time, until it showed up in an article and had to be dealt with. Meanwhile the victim had to resign. My feeling is that it’s too little and too late.

This won’t sink her but I wouldn’t be sorry if it did.
It was a mistake to elevate her to national status.
