Oh that would be cute.

But Donald tweets no tweet before its time.

Didn’t have to, Franken admitted his abuses. Moore called their bluff and said lay your cards on the table for discovery. Silence. (Except for media noise)

The Republicans have nothing “to answer for” until Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are tried and convicted for the numerous crimes they have committed in their sordid history.

I didn’t hear in his speech where he resigned. He said he would resign in the future. As far as anyone so far has reported he is still a working US Senator.

“Note All’s words... “I will resign IN A FEW WEEKS.”

Translate... I will change my mind after the dust settles.”

Franken is waiting to see the results of the Alabama special election next week. If Moore is elected, Al is not going anywhere.

Is Franken"s statement of resigning,made on the Senate floor, binding in any way other than ethically?

They can HOPE all they want but that will get them nowhere. They are up to their chin in slime and any yelling will only cause unpleasant swallowing. Moore 57/43, Trump untouched!

:: The argument is that Republicans are far more calculating in their politics and fiercely loyal to party. If there’s a scandal or a bad seed in the mix, like Moore, Republican leaders stay silent and ride out the storm, refusing to get into the political fray. ::

And, of course, the Pubbies missed that memo during the Foley railroading.

Will Mueller turn his “Investigation” to any claims of sexual harassment against the President?

Now that we know the real party executing the War on Women is the Democrat Party, this will be a bad foundation for this argument.

Let's be clear, there are credible accusations and then non-credible accusations.

The idea that an accusation, regardless of how old or specious, is a silver bullet that can sink a career just by being made needs to be pushed aside forthwith.

The msm no longer has the muscle to destroy at will, as has been demonstrated by Judge Moore and Trump before him.

The allegations that are sinking the dhimmis right now are substantial and documented. Let there be no confusion between the substantial and the frivolous.

I think it is entirely possible that Franken will hold on and force the ethics committee to ^simultaneously^ investigate/rule on him AND Moore.

The hope is that BOTH will be removed based on the conflagration of evidence between them.

The left invented the rule that all accusations by women are true. They can live by that rule and eat thir own. We don’t have to.

Big Difference. Trump and Moore accusers are just that. Accusations at election times with no proof. Talking and joking is not proof Pictures and evidence that has been vetted is.

For instance, blue dress with semen stains and pictures .

They have actual crimes to answer for.

Roy & Donald have been proven innocent. That’s answer enough.

Sorry Dems, 40 year old unsubstantiated accusation from an compromised accuser doesnt hunt. Now if you had photographs, or a stained dress...
