Innocent until proven guilty. She is to be commended.
“I have important work to do in Congress including building on the lessons of this horrible series of events.”
Doesn’t sound like she’s denying this happened.
I would like to believe someone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But if that person were working for me and I had credible evidence that the accusation were true, that person would be out the door.
Another point: I no longer trust our judicial system. I used to, but it has proven to me far too many times that it is more about politics than justice.
Since the courts are so unreliable, if I were the employer I would make a decision based on the best evidence available to me.
