” ... when they haul him before the Ethics Committee like McConnell threatens then he’ll be facing a hostile judge, jury, plaintiff, the whole nine yard.”
And they will have to show with those stubborn things, facts, that this is something more than ginned-up politics: the whole nine yards.
Which opens up tu quoque. They don’t want that.
They like to play the roles of “the distinguished gentlemen from ______” but a lot of them are like the Nevada senator in the book/movie The Godfather.
if they want to go there, let’s go there. Like Grant and Trump, this one fights. Meanwhile the business of the country is neglected. Thanks Uniparty!
No reason why they can't. The Ethics Committee is supposed, "...to receive and investigate allegations of improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate, violations of law, violations of the Senate Code of Official Conduct and violations of rules and regulations of the Senate; recommend disciplinary action; recommend additional Senate rules or regulations to insure proper standards of conduct; and report violations of law to the proper federal and state authorities." It doesn't have to be criminal to "reflect upon the Senate". And the rules of evidence don't have to be followed. They can use testimony unsupported by physical evidence, hearsay, whatever.
If nothing else he can argue that the ethics are in no way being consistent in their handling of these types of cases.
In an environment where nobody wants him there to begin with, attacking the committee for inconsistency is not going to get him far.
Eight or nine women, to date, testifying under oath should do very nicely for their purposes.
It’s impossible to prove a negative.
If Moore wins, it won’t stop.
Indeed. That's Moore's dilemma. They can't prove it happened and he can't prove it didn't. So it's he said/she said. Who will they find more believable?
Moore told one of them that she “had beautiful eyes”.
That’s disgusting.
Moore neglected to tell her to put some ice on it, nor did he give her a reason to do so.
Gibson was 17. In my mind that makes him I guess slightly a pervert, but that’s all.
Especially now that the Democrats have their own issues with Frankin
That assertion about her being 17 should be pretty easy for any news media to document, correct? So why are they not spending anytime questioning her age 14 assertion?
Actually, in many areas accusations like this place the accused under the presumption of guilt till proven innocent. And even then, it is often viewed as “He got away with it”.
Which is many such things used to have a statue of limitations.
That America ended a long time ago.
Maybe, but I think you underestimate the Dem’s capacity for lying.
Oh my. That is an interesting tidbit. Now you have to wonder (just a bot) if there isn’t some really old bad blood in this whole thing.
Thanks for the tip
RE: Corfman is the only accusation I think is troublesome if true. And he has denied. That should be the end of it.
I would say the Beverly Young Nelson accusation is just as troublesome (if true). And he has denied it as well.
Ms. Nelson’s step son has PUBLICLY stated that he does not believe his mother and has reiterated his support for Moore’s candidacy.
What I was thinking was - will he prevail in court?
As in suing these ‘women’ for slander etc. I really hope old Gloria is put out of business/disbarred.
I believe he will win the election. Be nice to have a counterpoint to the scum now infesting the Senate...
Stopped reading after: “caused a number of prominent conservatives to question his candidacy.”
No conservative I know believes this crap. The GOPe is going full court press on the Judge. Too bad for them because he will win anyway.
There is only one woman who has asserted that he did anything in the slightest bit wrong, and she’s lying.
Possibly. But how do you prove she's lying?
Gloria Allred, cashing in and living vicariously through the lives of her clients, one made up BS story after another.
