44. Amy Klobuchar has not even declared yet and this is the headline

Sat Feb 9, 2019, 08:09 PM

Feb 2019

in the Huffington Post:

"Harry Reid rebuked Amy Klobuchar for mistreatment of staff"

In the article, this is what was printed:

"A spokesman for Reid said the retired senator prefers not to discuss private conversations he had with other senators. In this case, Reid also does not remember whether or not he had this discussion with Klobuchar, the spokesman said.

“Sen. Klobuchar is one of the most brilliant, hardest-working members of the Senate, and I was glad to serve alongside her,” said Reid. “She’s tireless when it comes to fighting for the people of Minnesota and the country, and that’s why she’s such a popular Senator back home and among her colleagues.”

It has started. Expect a lot more of these "revelations" compliments of the Koch Bros and Adellmans.

Obama could have been accused of crimes? ooky Feb 2019 #53

We live in a time when anyone can say anything about anybody. N/t TCJ70 Feb 2019 #54

No doubt. That's why we need to get a handle on this ooky Feb 2019 #57

Yep. N/t TCJ70 Feb 2019 #59

Thinking about your comment bdamomma Feb 2019 #78

ANYONE could be FALSELY accused of a crime, including Obama. In fact, he was accused pnwmom Feb 2019 #73

Agreed, I didn't think about that ooky Feb 2019 #77

No. Then the Jacob Wohls of the world could derail almost any Democratic career. n/t pnwmom Feb 2019 #72

Do you mean have an actual process for handling these allegations? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #4

Well, aside from the very questionable football helmet avatar you have here, PatrickforO Feb 2019 #5

"if you have a credible accuser, a resignation is in order" EffieBlack Feb 2019 #18

But of course, the LT Governor, lifelong Democrat maxrandb Feb 2019 #22

Investigate what can be investigated. MH1 Feb 2019 #27

Sounds good to me EffieBlack Feb 2019 #15

What would the investigation look like? WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2019 #17

Why not encourage Dr. Tyson to file a police report so professionals can investigate? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #19

That is definitely an option. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2019 #20

sounds good to me bdamomma Feb 2019 #79

Exactly, how do you prove a negative? maxrandb Feb 2019 #24

Plenty of investigations, criminal and non, come to conclusions of no wrongdoing all the time. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2019 #25

It's very bizarre to claim that Dr. Tyson shouldn't file charges because there may not be enough EffieBlack Feb 2019 #80

Right, criminal allegations should get criminal investigations, as well as internal ones if needed. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2019 #81

Northam admitted and there's visual proof of what he was accused of EffieBlack Feb 2019 #82

That's the issue, as I see it. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2019 #83

I agree just because I fear this will be used against us. I fear we will be set up in a big way UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #26

We aren't talking about an election here. MH1 Feb 2019 #84

Not every State allows a recall election. brooklynite Feb 2019 #85

I did. I don't care who it is; I belive in evidence, and I abhor usubstantiated allegations LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #87

Did you post this about Franken? Honeycombe8 Feb 2019 #29

I posted at the time that Franken should have stayed maxrandb Feb 2019 #31

He couldn't stay. He was ousted. Honeycombe8 Feb 2019 #33

I think some of learned that accusations can be weaponized. Dream Girl Feb 2019 #52

Doesn't anyone think it is just a little strange that the three top Dems Stonepounder Feb 2019 #32

As strange as accusations against Franken not long after the Senate Jeff Sessions hearing.... Honeycombe8 Feb 2019 #37
