Is Al Franken a sexual abuser? [View all]

This is NOT about whether he should resign. His resignation is a purely political matter. It has NOTHING to do with guilt or innocence. There are strong cases for and against resignation. There are lots of threads discussing that. This thread is really simple.

Is Franken guilty as alleged by his accusers?

And if you think he's guilty, of what is he guilty?

Is he as bad as Moore?

Is he as bad as Conyers?

Is he as bad as Farenthold?

Is he as bad as TRUMP?
