I disagree. It is a situation that needs to be thoroughly investigated and vetted. There is institutional perversion amongst the elite and they need to be completely removed from any aspect of power, both the offenders and just as guilty enablers. Pedophilia is one of the more horrific crimes against humanity and those who participate or sustain it must be sought out and punished.
It seems doubtful that the situation will ever be thoroughly investigated. Hastert was sentenced to prison for money laundering. The pedophilia promotion seems like intelligence “eyewash” to keep people’s minds off of Hastert’s money laundering.
I agree and disagree. Child molestation is a horrific crime that justifies the death penalty, but being connected with children who were molested is not a crime. The entire molestation situation should be investigated, and anyone who knew or should have known should have their lives ruined. However, even a sleaze like Sasse is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless and until there is evidence connecting that scum to this crime.
