Franken deserves his ethics hearing. Some of those women are anonymous and that Tweeden woman was already discredited.

I wish he would stay and fight but with his own caucus against him, it looks bad.

Tom Arnold: Leeann Tweeden was 'coached' on Al Franken sexual assault allegations

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tom-arnold-leeann-tweeden-was-coached-on-al-franken-sexual-assault-allegations/article/2642803

Actor and comedian Tom Arnold claimed that the woman who was first to accuse Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., of sexually assaulting her was "coached."

In a series of tweets Wednesday night, Arnold said that Los Angeles-based radio broadcaster Leeann Tweeden's allegations were the result of a political attack involving longtime Trump confidante Roger Stone.

"I’m disappointed with my friend Leeann Tweedon [sic]," he said. "Her partner at KABC John Phillips is a Roger Stone pal & they coached her for weeks to bring Al Franken down. I’d hoped she’d use her voice to speak out for all women again predators like Roy Moore & Donald Trump but she’s a birther."

John Phillips is a CNN political commentator and right-leaning radio talk show host at the same station, KABC, as Tweeden.

Phillips denied that he was involved with Tweeden's decision to come out public with her accusations in November.

"Hey Arnie, first of all your friend’s name is spelled 'Leeann Tweeden,'" he replied to Arnold. "Second, we never talked about it before she went public. Third, I think ur a great comic and were fantastic on #Roseanne, but @therealroseanne was the genius on that show."

might be enough to intimidate one or more accusers into coming clean IF any of them is lying. Would someone be willing to risk perjury charges for Roger Stone?
