DU?

if it's true, he knows it's true. and he understands the razors edge he is walking on but he can't just roll over. hopefully behind the scenes he is getting his ducks in order and in the senate "investigation" the facts will come out.

Drama sells and images of her will keep this going for a while. I won't be surprised if she ends up on Fox News.

He posts that a lot.

The M$M has moved onto today's shiny objects.

Someone on Twitter claiming to be "Franken's escort officer"? No one is going to be following around someone into the bathroom. It is fake.

i was a journalist i would contact this guy and see if there is a story to this.

If the camera's time wasn't set correctly, the date will be off.

Why do we not know who the photographer was? is? Was he paid off not to talk.

The accuser accepted the apology. If the parties involved in the alleged abuse aren't arguing about it, particularly since Franken isn't arguing about it, what the metadata or the escort has no relevance at all.

The progressive media, and DU as well, should be taking their lead from Franken.

after all.

To the extent there is relevance, it will be if or when there is a commission. Is he publicly asserting he did not do these things, and asking the ethics commission to find him innocent? Hint: self-reporting to ethics bodies are not made by people saying I didn't do it. They are made as an acknowledgement that something happened, and self-reporting is better than being dragged in.

What he is NOT doing is trying this in the press or asking others to do so on his behalf. Follow his lead.

But he has not explained how he viewed it, denied it happened, or tried to minimize her experience of it.

As I've said before, we need to follow his lead on it.

Franken has acknowledged the behavior in the photoshop - if it showed something dramatically different from what occurred, he would have issued a disclaimer as he did to the account of what happenned backstage. Whether or why someone altered it later doesn't really matter if it is an accurate depiction of what happened.

He is not asking us to fight this battle - follow his lead.

if it had been done before he won?

Yes, Franken has apologized and everyone wants to forgive and forget. However, doing so lets Hannity of the hook a little too easily. So unless there is something else that can be revealed as "sinister" about Franken, why not push the RW agenda behind this story? The only other reason would be to "focus on Dotard's Russia scandal" which is always the fall back excuse, and it's getting to be a rather lame excuse at that.

I can take a picture taken right now and edit that data using any of hundreds of programs to show it was taken or altered any day I want.

was a gift to service people. Why is that not mentioned?

Franken apologized for the mock grabbing and said differing opinion on the kissing.

but for whatever reason it appears to be "unseemly" to produce witnesses who seem to be refuting a false allegation against a man. This is the same media that treated Trump accusers as if they must be lying. Anyone heard any updates on the Summer Zervos case in the media without diving deep to find an obscure reporter or blog?
