In reply to the discussion: Is Swalwell being rat fucked? (Poll) [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(23,382 posts)The earliest allegation dates to 2019, which means Stone or other republicans would have had to plant an operative on Swallwells staff six years before he decided to run for governor.
Then Stone/republicans would have had to plant three more operatives to work on his staff faithfully until this week, then suddenly make false accusations.
Then, Stone/republicans would have also had to plant four operatives on his staff to to work faithfully, then resign in disgust once the news broke.
Or, there is truth to the accusations, but they are difficult to prove criminally due to the passage of time, but the women involved nevertheless spoke out to achieve some sort of accountability and closure.
If there is ratfuckery, it is far more likely that the allegations are true, and someone encouraged the women to go public to winnow the field of candidates, so that this would not be a ticking time bomb for November.
