(74,053 posts)I don't want to believe these accusation, because they are hard to believe.
Normally, when i hear about this stuff, i am highly inclined to believe the accuser. In this case, we know, for sure, that one of them had a political motivation, and we also know lied about parts (maybe not all, but parts) of the incident.
Then it comes down to another accuser that Franken simply said had a different recall than did he. IOW, he denied it fully.
Then another one where the accuser admitted this about squeezing her waist during a pose for a picture.
Now add the others that were anonymous and not supported by any specific incidents or locations, or corroborated by anyone who has ever worked closer with Al.
The accusation, in and of themselves, lack credibility.
I don't disbelieve because i don't like the target or the outcome. I disbelieve because the entire matter seems too suspicious to accept at face value.
