File the charges with the appropriate authorities or shut up.

What is the statute of limitations?

I'd be interested in seeing polling of how various demographic groups of Virginia voters see this.

On general principal, I loathe elected democrats, in fact, I can’t think of a Democrat in office that I have admired for a very very long time. Actually, admired is a strong word. Maybe, a democrat who does not make me extremely furious over the things he says or the bills he proposes; just mildly annoyed. However, I am absolutely opposed to this idea of claiming a sexual assault years after the fact. If an individual does not make a formal complaint within a reasonable time frame then he/she loses the right to do so. It is too difficult years later for the defendant to defend him/herself, and it boils down to he said/she said. It was terrible for Kavanaugh to have to deal with such allegations and it is terrible for this guy to try to do so. I don’t like democrats, but if we say we don’t like women making allegations like this years and years later, we need to be consistent about it, not just when it is “our” guy.

I agree with you. Just have the ladies do statements with the police. Let the county prosecutor do his job. If convicted, let the judge hand out the sentence. We don’t need to turn this into some monkey-court circus with impeachment chatter.

The problem I see is that a number of these Virginia legislature guys have the same past history, and there’s going to be forty-odd women coming out this summer to report on them. So will there be a dozen state legislature folks facing impeachment as well?

Too late to stop impeachment. I heard the impeachment process would start on Monday if he didn’t resign by then.

One of the victims said she is willing to talk to law enforcement.

If I had ever been a victim of sexual misconduct I can see why a victim would not want to put themselves through the process of reporting it to law enforcement.

This man is the top law enforcement official in the State of VA. This man has a lot of power.

The truth will be outed. That is a good thing.

Agree, if he did it, they should take him to court.
