40. In terms of numbers, on the other side of the coin

when you get 60 accusers like Bill Cosby, those numbers work against Cosby.

A handful could be coerced by the GOP against Franken.

I'm not saying that is what happened. I don't know for sure. I remain open. Franken might be guilty. Might not. Or somewhere in between.

If this goes to court, then you may have to consider some of the things you raised. It depends on the evidence and circumstances as to whether it would be pertinent.

With this particular woman, her alleging Franken grabbing her waist momentarily during a picture - i'm having trouble being sympathetic to sexual assault/harassment there. It seems over the top but I'm open to hearing more to make sure before reaching a final conclusion.
