I hear you. But the “reflect upon the Senate” part is a joke in and of itself considering the actions of Kennedy, Menendez, Dodd, McCain and others and the senate’s complete lack of action on them.

Leading Senate Democrats Call For Ethics Investigation Into Al Franken

"Ethics Investigation" my butt. It is a stalling technique by the Rat party to see how this plays out with the voters of Minnesota.

The Fake News MSM crowd is at it again and we know their game plan.

If we look at the Judge Moore allegations---McConJob wants Judge Moore to resign immediately. We call that a "Good Ole Cotton Eyed Joe Bravo Sierra" down here in Texas.

McConJob has not called on Franken to resign immediately even though there are actual photos of him groping this woman. There are no photos of Judge Moore groping any women.

A lot of Freepers know how the Rat party plays the game right before at each election cycle. Especially when the Pubbies have a good candidate and right now we need a replacement for McConJob as the Majority Leader in the Senate.

Hey, if Judge Moore does not turn out to be on the level with these allegations then we can call on him to resign but not until we have the proof that he is guilty of anything period.

BTW, there are a lot of women voting for Judge Moore in the Alabama U.S. Senator election.

What is left to investigate.

You have a picture
You have two unimpeachable female accusers.

Go straight to trial!

This is a redo from 2008.

0bama called for an investigation into McLame’s Natural Born Citizen status.

The dirty usurper accused someone else of being foreign born, and set himself up as the pious judge

As I said there will be multiple accusers of Al Franklin and now there is a second one coming forward according to Fox News

Melanie Morgan may be the second accuser
Al Franklin should resign - Jeff Sessions should not think he owes any claim of recusal to this scum!

Franken’s one thing - Menendez will be another - although the jury was hung in his recent trial, he will without doubt face an ethics hearing in the Senate once his legal status is decided finally - the judge would not allow information regarding his flights to Pedophile Island and sex with underage girls as part of his payoff to be admitted in the trial, but nothing will keep it out of an ethics procedure - with the moral temperature as high as it is now, he might as well resign and get it over with......

They’re pretending to not be hypocrites and not have double standards, but an ethics investigation into Al Franken’s conduct will only last until December 13th.

And apparently no Senator has received much in the way of admonishment by the Ethics Committee for things he did prior to becoming a Senator. Just more theatrics.

Well worth reading--albeit from the libs' perspective:

How Roy Moore’s Misdeeds Are Forcing an Awakening on the Left: Years of excusing Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct suddenly seems morally indefensible.

Crimes committed on an airplane fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal courts. Since this was a military airplane it could also be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The only reasonable way to properly investigate this is for the the Attorney General to appoint a Special Prosecutor.

Wait a minute. This guy gets the benefit of a defense, but Roy Moore has to QUIT? No. Way.

That’s because McConnell is a duplicitous quisling.

Not only was he caught red handed, he also did it before and was a dick in general. Go figure.

A Senate ethics investigation, is that like using the wrong spoon for the soup?

the ethics panel is not where you prosecute criminal sexual assault.
