I also have a problem with "anonymous" accusers. That is Joe McCarthy garbage
Franken is calling for a Congressional investigation of himself. Will they do it? I sincerely doubt it, because people will have to testify before Congress, and lying to Congress is a crime.
Except for the Twendem, Franken has clearly stated that if he did any inappropriate touching it was unintentional. He also FLATLY denied one of the "anonymous" accusers who said he propositioned her to go to the restroom with her.
Let me ask you a question Obe. Do you believe it is out of the realm of possibility that this could be a republican hit job on him?
Let's ask John Kerry and the Swift Boaters about that. Let's ask Dan Rather? How about the 25-30% of the American populace that believe that President Obama is NOT an American? Let's ask John McCain about the South Carolina primary, and how many people there believed he had an illegitimate African American child. Let's ask how many people believe that CNN is "fake news", and Hillary should be locked up for Benghazi, the emails, or killing Vince Foster.
Lee Atwater is alive and well in the republican party.
Why am I skeptical?
Let's ask James O'keefe, Dinesh D'Souza, Roger Stone, and Karl Rove.

The recent Project Veritas attempted con-job to setup the Washington Post to print a made up story in order to say Roy Moore's accusers were not credible highlights just how dishonest THEY ARE.
