I have gone to this link and read a number of the comments and opinions. I am not sure which question you want answered, please tell me the comment number.

Regarding the many different scandals, I remember when the Clarence Thomas hearings were being held, someone I knew told me he had been working in the same Civil Rights office building before that hearing and that CT had a reputation for messing with the women. I forget the details, and have no way to verify this, just that a person I knew who seemed reasonably intelligent reported that was common knowledge/gossip?.

Now here is something about the Al Frankin dust up. I found the notice below regarding a Democrat group urging Frankin to resign so Muslim Keith Ellison can be named by the Governor as a replacement. Note the name of the person signing this at the bottom. Something else to worry about!!

“After a disturbing photo was released this morning, Sen. Al Franken admitted to sexually assaulting a female colleague on a 2006 USO Tour overseas. News anchor Leeann Tweeden came forward to tell her story in a blog post detailing how Franken had groped and kissed her without her consent.
It would be profoundly hypocritical for Democrats to stand by Franken in this moment. We can’t tolerate harassment or assault.
Given this news, we are calling for Franken to resign his seat. In Minnesota, a vacancy would need to be filled by an appointment from Gov. Mark Dayton. After Franken resigns, we are calling on the governor to appoint Rep. Keith Ellison as the next U.S. senator from Minnesota.
Sign your name now if you agree Franken should resign and be replaced by Keith Ellison. We’ll deliver all the signatures to Gov. Dayton’s office.
Sign the petition »

Keith Ellison has a strong progressive track record of standing up for social, economic, racial, and climate justice. He was one of the first sitting members of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders in 2015, even though it was a major political risk to do so.
Keith would make an excellent interim senator before Minnesotans head to the polls in 2018 to vote for a replacement. Let’s make sure Gov. Dayton knows Keith’s our first choice.

His thread is now on its fourth day. If you didn't read it from day one, you haven't seen just how brilliant a take down it was.

Comment 344: If it's not a political hit, why the timing? Why did not one of them come forward in forty years prior? Why was there not a smidge of a rumor, a hint of his problem? And worst of all, why is their no hint of him continuing to do this?
