I believe Al Franken's accusers...

12. Thats more or less where I sit, but without a reprimand

In any of these situations my default position is to believe the victims. Doesn’t matter what their politics are. And I won’t go down the path of witch hunts on a victim or possible victim because of the politics. Such actions are damaging to all victims who are thinking of speaking out.

But even so at the word what he is accused of was accused of was mostly before he was in the Senate and as such has little bearing on what the senate does.

For all of you saying there needs to be a Senae ethics investigation, go read the Senate rules. They only do ethics investigations for conduct that happened while you were a Senator. So most of this falls outside the scope of what they can look at.

So, he should own up to whatever he feels he needs to, and then get along with his job. And in 3 years or so decide if he wants to run again with how the polls are looking and how the people in Minnesota feel about the job he is doing and the claims that have been made and either choose to run again or not.
