Says the man with the dead intern...
Interesting that Donald Trump just brought this up at about the same time an intern has said John Conyers had inside information on the Chandra Levy murder.
Levy vanished in May of 2001 after telling her mom in a phone call that she had a big public announcement she was going to make the next day or so. A year later she was found wooded area tied, BDSM style, to tree where she murdered in a Washington park.
A terrified airline stewardess fearing for her life came forward with stories of a club of seriously twisted Congressmen who had a sex club going where she and a number of Congressional interns, including Chandra, engaged in heavy BDSM and fetish activities including lots of male homosexual sexual acts. The stewardess was certain Chandra Levy was murdered to keep her quite and that she and the rest of the women involved were next on the hit list.
Her stories were confirmed by interviews with other members in the club.
A search of Gary Condit’s apartment found lots of BDSM paraphernalia in his closet and they recovered body fluid samples from the leather and latex BDSM outfits and paraphernalia , the floors, the walls and the furniture containing the DNA of at least a dozen prominent members of congress. There were more than 12 involved but the intermixing of the body fluids prevented accurate DNA analysis on all involved.
Good old Joe was reputed to a club member and DNA donor and in July an attractive intern of his was found dead with no plausible cause of natural death and under very mysterious circumstances in Joe's office.
It was suspected at the time she might have also been a member of the Condit Club along with Joe and that she may have been killed to keep her from testifying in the Chandra Levy case.
Joe left Congress shortly afterwords.
The whole Chandra Levy story dropped off the radar in the wake of 9/11
Things have gotten to the point that the Dems are now willing to take some casualties, particularly Franken, whom even they despise for obvious reasons, but also Conyers, and who else?
Oh yeah Weinstein, Lauer, I'm sure there are more. As others have said they're trying to get the moral high ground to give it another try with Roy Moore and also with Trump.
(Do you know that Trump used to hit on women and ask them if they wanted to go for a ride in his helicopter?) /s
The stakes are high: The Supreme Court and the rest of the Federal Judiciary, and how the Constitution is going to be interpreted for years to come.
It is about politics. Otherwise they would continue to suffer Al Franken among them because he's one of them. They're nothing if not loyal to their own, except when the stakes are this high. In which case they start coming up with expendables like Franken, and even Conyers too. (Be careful, Nancy, that's dangerous...)
They'll be happier trading Franken away for another Democrat to be appointed by the Governor anyway... for obvious reasons.
(Which begs the question, what will they NOT resort to, to get their way?
I wouldn't know. Just axin'.)
