Ok so far we have three phantom woman and one who has no proof but is represented by a democrat party activist. Now he might be guilty (not that it should make a difference to former Clinton supporters) but this whole thing is starting to smell awful rotten in Denmark.

Sure it does, the timing is very suspicious to say the least. Although there are folks who live to find/create dirt on anyone in the public eye, especially a rising star.

I have no problem with investigating such allegations. What I want is for them to be equal, regardless of party. In amount of coverage (scaled to the position of the persons involved, clearly if the accusation is vs the president, it is more time-worthy than someone who has not yet even won a primary) as well as the tone of coverage. There were numerous charges against Clinton, for example, including one that went well beyond harassment.

If the guy has 4 such accusations, though, it's starting to look like a pattern (as did Clinton, though his political allies who are supposed to be defenders of women's rights systemically ignored all the accusations).

I have a cousin who is an attorney, and he said that workplace sexual harassment suits are an industry to the extent you can't take any of them as true without physical evidence at this point (which is virtually none of them).

Then what was she trying to do?
