I am sorry -- you may be able to tie one date to a hearing. But you don't know when they went out, and frankly after this much time neither of them may know. |
A lot of 17 year old girls have kissed older guys. Certainly guys in their twenties --- that just is. |
| Here's what I don't get: Even if your logic is purely partisan and your politics purely tribal, denouncing Weinstein while defending Roy Moore means you're basically taking the word of the famous Hollywood women but not the small-town Republican women. |
He took her to his house "days later" after they first met. |
No -- I am sorry. Weinstein accused credibly of non-statutory rape, i.e. non consensual sex. Weinstein accused of trapping women in his room. Weinstein accused of luring women to room under false pretenses. Weinstein accused of really weird masturbatory stuff. |
Ok, if you think she's assuredly accurate in her recollections -- that's fine. In my experience, timelines can get hazy decades later. |
Nobody wants to deny this. The gravamen of the charge is the girl was 14. I am just saying, maybe she wasn't. |
It's possible that the "days later" was perhaps a week or a couple of weeks. It is very unlikely that it was years. She was 14. Even months would not have made much of a difference. |
Ok, look, I am not going to convince you. I've seen witnesses -- all of whom think they are telling the truth -- be way off in terms of timelines five years ago, let alone decades. |
|
Anyway, look, the only defense for Moore -- assuming this woman isn't nuts and I don't think she's nuts or lying -- is that her timeline is off. I think there's a reasonable chance that it is. |

I hope Moore sticks to his tiny little gun and takes this thing all the way to an election win.
It's a boon to Democrats and the Republican Senatorial Committee knows this. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/11/10/roy-moore-sexual-assault-allegations-condemned-by-growing-number-republican-lawmakers.html |

He's really not corroborating her age at the time. |
It was still non-consenual sexual assault no matter how old she was. That’s disqualifying unless you are president. |
