National Review: Dont Run With Franken Story Holy Shit!

Holy shit! At least this right wing rag is telling Trumpanzees to pump the brakes on this.

Yet conservatives, like everyone else, should pause before playing this game. As with other cases in which enemies of the Right have been floored by this flood — a journalist from Vice and much of Hollywood spring to mind — we should be careful about embedding the new etiquette that such campaigns push us toward.

Don’t think they actually found some integrity. They just know they stand to loose a lot more in the coming weeks if more and more women feel safe and empowered to finally tell their stories.

If they thought everyone on their side was safe from this they would be running with the story as hard as they could.

while the Conyers and Frankend stories are disappointing, does anybody out there really believe that the party of racism, homophobia and sexism hasn't done worse and more often?

It’s almost like they’re normalize sexual abuse of minors for right-wingers because they know an even worse story is about to break.

Organized crime & human trafficking.. & Trump is in the middle of it all.

I am believing that money laundering & exploitation of women, minors & men/boys in Hollywood is all connected to Trump & international organized crime.

When Trump goes down for human trafficking via his Modeling Agency, pagents, etc, the line will extend around the globe & straight through D.C. & Hollywood.

That is why this article says to cool it, many will be caught up in Mueller's net. But the biggest mobsters will have direct ties to Trump/Hollywood/DC & beyond.
