3. I hope you are not intentionally misunderstanding me

Moore was a pedophile. His own actions should have resulted in jail time. Any consequences he now suffers will never pay for what he did. He and he alone is responsible for his deeds. The only "set up" I am referring to is the timing of when the truth about his life came to light. It is possible that some sources with political connections knew about his past for quite some time, but chose to bring it to the attention of the press now to destroy his campaign for the Senate. Even if true it does not change the facts. Moore is a pedophile who can't be jailed now because the cases are too old, but a pedophile he remains and it is absolutely fitting that at the very minimum that was revealed and hopefully his career destroyed as a result.
