At this time, the Democrats would be wise to not mention the anonymous allegations.

[Stinky The Clown]

I think they will do just that.

I sure hope they will. I am absolutely certain the GOPenis, through dirty tricksters, will stop at nothing to muddy the waters.

1. Anonymous allegations can be dangerous.

People need to understand that when they refuse to identify themselves their assertions can’t be verified.

[RockRaven]

2. Sticking to the two victims who have given sworn testimony/affidavits is the more

dirty-tricks-proof way to go. Aside from their identities and backgrounds being known, they both put their freedom on the line (i.e. perjury if lying) to give such testimony.

3. Yes

And if my Senator, Cory Gardner, is complicit with a dirty tricks attempt then I hope it sinks him when he runs for reelection next time.

[Wounded Bear]

4. True that...

I'd be very suspect of anonymous allegations right now. Especially when there are credible ones to follow up on.

Very good chance that anonymous charges now could be RW plants.

[gratuitous]

5. I have to wonder, though

How long has Sen. Gardner had this anonymous letter?

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Ever since Roger Stone gave it to him

Or James O'Keefe

Or any one of a few dozen dirty tricksters

[gratuitous]

7. My contention is that as long as the author is anonymous

This letter and its contents belong to Sen. Gardner, and are his allegations.

8. I've been wondering about this too

As more victims surface, would the Repubs sneak a Trojan horse into the field in an attempt to discredit all of them? The Dan Rather Bush TANG story comes to mind.

[rpannier]

10. Didn't they try that in Alabama?

Some woman called the Washington Post (?) or another newspaper and claimed to have been assaulted by Roy Moore. They did their due diligence and figured out she was lying to try and discredit all the accusers

[Stargleamer]

11. yeah, this could be a set-up

The Republicans learned a lot from Karl Rove.

[bettyellen]

9. That IS what they are sticking to, as far as I have seen.
