Or the firing of O'Liely only to rehire him a few months later? The Franken debacle is headed in the same direction. Oh, I think there are a couple of things in play here. Undermining sexual abuse allegations in broad terms is one of them. Sowing distrust is another. Bannon is working his ass off creating chaos, and his associates are having the time of their lives pushing all his stories.

You're right that there are some serious allegations in the mix, but this has reached sideshow territory. There might be one authentic item among the dozens on display, but the ploy is to strain our senses to the point we either accept everyone or no one.The game they are playing is exceedingly dangerous and lacking compassion.
