    Where was this "guilty by accusation" mentality of Democrats when Hillary Clinton was running?

    Well Republicans have proven that their religious nonsense is nothing more than a facade with the election of trump, so why not? <Rule 2>

    To charge him criminally.

    You asked anything actually been proven?

    When told there were contemporary witnesses, you handwaved it away by saying it was decades ago.

    I guess it means it don't count.

    Din't 'appen.

    eyewitness testimony is considered arguably the most unreliable. And NEARLY FOUR FREAKING DECADES later? No credibility whatsoever.

    There were contemporaneous reports...she told friends AT THE FRIGGIN TIME.

    Why are you defending pedophilia?
    Do you think pedophiles STOP?

    Your question has been responded. In a situation where a normal human being would say something like "if this is true, I would definitely not support a pedophile. And would oppose him in every way I can...", instead they say.

    Jimmy79 has given the only rational answer Regardless of political party or ideology.

    I think we've put up with just enough of these witch hunts, so no. No more investigations.

    maybe pelosi and waters can hire a private investigator with their own money if they want.

    You already decided that he's a pedophile. This is why the left has no more credibility. You hear a random story off of a website and you call it a fact without even knowing anything whatsoever.

    If it bothers you, then don't vote for him.

    Proof?
    Evidence?
    Facts?


    You have none of these.

    You have a claim by WaPo

    WaPo, the untrustworthy rag that still hasn't proven a SINGLE ONE of its "unnamed sourced" Trump/Russian claims.

    WaPo, the same paper that sat on information during the Bill Clinton rape investigation (you're probably too young to remember that).

    WaPo, who isn't divulging the facts about their source behind these at-the-moment baseless allegations.

    I'd like you to review something.

    But the hate driven leftist bigot version can be paraphrased as: "Innocent until proven guilty, unless they're a Republican or a cop".

    Anyone working with an IQ above room temperature should be able to figure out that this is total horse crap.

    The left has abandoned "innocent until proven guilty". Just one more American tradition they enjoy pissing on.

    Anybody with any IQ whatsoever can immediately figure out that you only say that because he's a Republican.

    How do you know it's horse crap? And, here's the thing... maybe it is. But you're not even considering the possibility of an investigation.

    There are witnesses to this guys' advances to the minor. Including at least one teacher, her mother, and friends. The "advances" of this guy towards the child were not even in complete secrecy. So there is quite a bit to investigate. And the investigation might come out negative. But you say "don't investigate"

    More than a legal issue, this is a Moral issue. Denying strong indications of pedophilia goes waaaay beyond partisanship. It speaks to the moral priorities of several people on this forum who lean right. And what it says is very surprising!

    "Innocent until proven guilty" is a legal precept. But this is not a legal issue. It's a moral issue. The "crime" has probably expired anyway. But how can Republicans be so insensitive to the moral aspects?

    Things were different back in 79. We knew what pedophilia meant, and it didn't mean an attraction to teenage girls. The common rule of thumb went something like "if there's grass on the field, play ball".

    If you want to get worked up about that kind of stuff, you wouldn't have survived the 80s.

    No. You can't. Because if you could... you would...

    You tried it with Pizzagate.

    This type of things are not easy to be fabricated without being found out very quickly. The reason is that the people with moral standards outnumber the people without them.

    Then every republican running for office is going to be 'under investigation' until the voting is done... then the 'victims' will recant.
