Probably these radical Left, anti-American, Progressive Democrats intend to re-run the old Slick Willie Clinton defense of political sexual predators, and I quote:
"What a person does in his private life has no bearing on the performance of his job in public service."
REALITY CHECK: it's not private when it's on our tax dollar and the "personal business" is being conducted while they're doing the peoples work in the people's house on the people's dime.
=====================================
NOTE Fifty percent of American voters think Sen. Al Franken should resign over allegations of sexual misconduct against him, while 46 percent said he should be expelled from the Senate, according to a poll released on Wednesday. (hat tip The Politico/Morning Consult survey )
How insulting AND CRIMINAL does it have to get before people wake up to the truth - the man committed a crime.
Congressmen abuse women then pay them off with MONEY THEY STEAL FROM TAXPAYERS? And what? We're suppose to accept an 'apology' written by a professional speechwriter? It doesn't work that way in flyover... if we steal we're arrested. Congresmen have committed a crime. The system is: arrest and trial in front of fellow citizens. IT'S NOT TO CRAFT AN APOLOGY. THEY STOLE MONEY - - THAT'S A CRIME.
DEAL WITH IT AS A CRIME.
If CONGRESSIONAL ELITES HAVE committed CRIMES they should be arrested and tried by a jury. I don't care if the women ‘forgive’ a rapist after receiving large sums of hush money - if it's a CRIME it should be treated as a crime. Even include the ‘presumption of innocence’ which is part of our system....
When Bill Clinton raped a woman it was NEVER UP TO HILLARY TO ‘FORGIVE’ HIM. It was never up to Bill Clinton to ‘forgive’ Hillary for making a hundred thousand in the markets in six months either. That was a crime too and should have been treated as a crime.
I don't care if his party pushes him out... I trust the people to elect their own Representative IF THEY ARE GIVEN ALL THE FACTS AND NOT THE WHITE WASHED LIES THE CORRUPT PRESS PUTS OUT THAT PROTECTS DEMOCRATS AND SQUASES REPUBLICANS.
PUT IT ALL OUT AND LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
OH, AND IF THE CREEP USED TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY OFF WOMEN HE ABUSED ARREST HIM FOR THEFT. THE JERK IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
I don't even care if Conyers's wife ‘forgives’ him for robbing a bank if he robbed a banks too... or if the ‘bigs’ in Congress ‘forgive’ him for stealing from citizens. They ARE NOT ALLOWED TO 'FORGIVE' CRIMES AGAINST CITIZENS.
APOLOGIES ARE NOT PART OF OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. I DON'T CARE IF A BANK ROBBER 'APOLOGIZES' OR NOT... I DON'T CARE IF HIS WIFE 'FORGIVES' HIM. WHAT KIND OF APOLOGY WOULD WE ACCEPT FROM A MAN WHO MURDERED HIS WIFE? EVEN IF HE HAD THE APOLOGY FOCUS GROUP TESTED AND WRITTEN BY A FIRST CLASS SPEECH WRITER?
He broke the law - arrest him and let a jury decide. That's how our system works. Congress does NOT have the Constitutional right to 'forgive' or offer pardons. Slap up the corrupt FBI and tell them ELITES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
