This whole smear has Steve Bannon and Roger Stone all over it. Stone and even Alex Jones tweeted about the smear several hours before the first story broke.

If MSM, including HuffPost had done their homework, they'd have seen all the videos and photos before and after the so-called "offensive kiss. They'd also have viewed photos and videos of Leeann doing "grab ass" on musician Mark Willis and sexually assaulting a married Robin Williams all during the same show. There are also videos of Al Franken performing the same skit with other actresses 3 years before Leeann, and lied about Franken writing that skit especially for her. An easy Google search can unearth all the same proof I found.
And, get a load of this:

And regarding the other women, I wouldn't put it past Steve Bannon to mine Facebook for any encounters women have had with Franken and paid these women several thousand dollars to turn a simple photo op into something sleazy. Bannon and his cabal are scared to death that Franken might run for president and win, easily. Better to destroy him early on to take him out of the running.
Haven't you ever been scrunched together for a group photo and had a hand inadvertently land on your butt, either by a man or woman? I have, and it's no big deal, or at least not one that calls for someone's career to end due to an accidental momentary placement of one's hand on the wrong body part! None of this is anything like the accusations leveled by 9+ women at Charlie Rose.
Sure, that unfunny lewd joke photo of Leeann asleep was really stupid but Franken apologized profusely about that. Franken's willingness to participate in a congressional investigation is brilliant because Leeann will either have to lie to Congress which is a felony, or admit the whole scenario was an intentional ploy.
Ok. I'm done. Proceed to flame me if it makes you feel better. This Senator is one of us. We owe it to ourselves to get all the facts before burning any of the good guys at the stake. The Repubs are loving this stuff!
