Just for the record, I read that McConnell has called for an investigation. Even the Dems realize with the Roy Moore situation, they will have to go after Franken. Even if he resigns, they know it’s a safe seat so they’ll sacrifice him. There are others to be sure, lets see what happens or who comes out in the next few days. What women (or even men possibly) will be inspired to share their story of politicians over the next few days.

I would say Frankens case is much like a lot of the Roy Moore accusers (except for two), very boorish behavior but not illegal. Lets see what the Senate is willing to put up with. Does it have to be illegal or merely boorish behavior not becoming of a United States Senator.

Except that there's a picture of Franken with his hands on a sleeping Leeann Tweeden's breasts. Proof positive on Franken, whereas all of Moore's accusers have allegations without any proof.

I guess the (lack of)Ethics Committee can decide to investigate anything, but I don’t really see how they can look at either Franken or Moore for events well before Franken being elected or Moore potentially elected to the senate.

“very boorish behavior but not illegal”. Seriously? At a minimum it qualifies as assault, and potentially, battery.
