We have to make a stand against these last minute charges. If you kept your mouth shut for 40 yrs you are not serious....I’m sorry folks...this is bullish!t....there is a reason for the statute of limitations....this is it!!!!
Hear, hear!IMHO there are at least two reasons:
The two facets compound each other. What is the point of straining to adjudicate something that isn’t important - and what is the point of splitting hairs on the significance of a charge, when it is so hard to get at the truth of it???
- As memories degrade and witnesses die, it becomes impractical to adjudicate the truth. And,
- ”What difference, at this point, does it make?” That comment by a presumed presidential candidate, about a relatively very recent event which happened on her watch, was cynical and fatuous. But the same comment has validity in reference to behavior not nearly as evil as hanging ambassadors out to dry without security. Being interested in young unmarried women - without committing violence against them, and without even keeping their parents out of the loop - falls in the relatively minor category.
And in this is compounded in this case by the real cost to society of preventing the election of the preference of the voters for an important office which is not, however, the presidency. It does not have any executive function.
