The Case of Al Franken by Jane Mayer

[suegeo]

276. Gillibrand didn't talk to any of the accusers to assess their credibility

Jesus wept. The Russians and the traitors in the GOPee attacked & continue to attack our Democracy.

I hoped at the time, someone,somewhere in power performed extensive background checks of the women making these flimsy accusations. It would be wise, Given the sweeping interference and disruption of the Russians and their colluding Republican allies.

But nope. They allowed themselves to be tricked by some shitty fascist radio station and its fascist management. Who didn't fact check anything. Further, they were active participants in the smear campaign.


Roger Stone is the king of gopee rat fucking. He knew in advance. An investigation could have turned up who knows what shit the gopee did. Perhaps with an assist from Putin?

Instead, we get the awful precedent of NOT putting people under oath to give their testimony about what happened.

And that Schumer! Days maybe weeks later, Chuck himself came under attacks for sexual assault himself. Turns out, those accusations were not true. Just as I believe the accusations against Al are false.
