(2,091 posts)The Lynch Mob Senators apparently want to railroad Franken and prevent the investigation from happening.
It is very sad thing for the Senate and our party.
Franken wants an investigation. His first accuser does not. Some of his no doubt politically motivated Senate colleagues do not want an investigation.
The Senators have nothing to lose by letting this go to the investigation. Oh....change that.....some of them would lose an opportunity to score poltical points towards potential presidential campaigns.....
That's what this is all about. Politics. And the ambitions Gillibrand and others have to be president. This scores some points for her, even if it means caving to the Republicans, even if this means ignoring due process and even if it means making a joke of a senate investigation. Just lead the lynch mob and she will score some points. Disgusting.
