10. That puts him among the overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus, and the DNC leadership

Sad as it is to say, I hope they all know about some as yet to drop shoes regarding Franken's behavior that the rest of us will soon become aware of. If that is the case, their stand in acceptable - maybe even commendable, for acting with decisiveness regarding unacceptable behavior. It would be sad if that is true, because that would mean there are more unnamed victims out there. And it would be sad to deal with the truth if Franken is guilty of much more than has been established to date.

A lot depends on what Al Franken himself now has to say, and whether there is further not yet revealed evidence against him

But if what we now see is all they have against Franken without any investigation, than Bernie is just as wrong as the rest of them.
