EXACTLY - that’s my point. It can be ANY of us. All it takes is someone with a grudge, or someone playing a ‘practical’ joke, and our lives are ruined. Think about it, there are 80 million or so women in the country who hate Trump, probably 10,000 of them can make a credible claim of having been reasonably close to him (working for one of his companies, etc.). Of those, especially in NYC, 9,000 hate him as a politician and potential president (they loved working for him, though). Then 20 of them decide to make up crap about him, and he’s SUNK as a candidate?
What about the next guy who runs as a Republican, or even a Democrat. Drag out 20 people who don’t like him from his past and sink him too? Clarence Thomas, anyone?
That’s why I will NEVER believe any of this crap without EVIDENCE from that time period, such as police reports, court records, or other real-time complaints. Sure the guy may have been a monster, our justice system is designed to protect the ones that are not monsters, and if people who have a motive to take down others make that claim, they sure as hell better be able to back it up, and if they don’t appear to have a motive, I still won’t believe them, years later - because they may have a motive that I’m not aware of.
Yes. The Fifth and Fourth Amendments are there to protect the INNOCENT from government abuse.
