An uncomfortable number of people here missing the point of #metoo and people like Al Franken

134. As I said from my first post here...

your point is guilt or innocence is only determined in a court of law. No one is suggesting a Senate Ethics Investigation is the same as being tried in a criminal court. In the Franken case there are no criminal charges to be brought so it is a moot point.
My description, of which I remain pretty sure despite your attempt to shame me, matches closely to what the Senate Select Committee on Ethics says they do. Your answer in post 123 is so absurd as to be hilarious. Of course they determine if Senate Ethics rules were broken it's quite obvious from the name. The question is what method do they use to come to a determination about those rules? Do you think they might investigate if certain accusations are credible? Do you suppose there might be some form of communication that comes from the Committee to announce their determination? Is it possible that a finding by the committee that the accusations against a certain Senator were not credible might allow that Senator to return to their lawmaking duties with a cloud lifted?
