That very long Al Franken story brings up extremely few exculpatory facts about Al Franken's alleged behavior.
If you want to make *this* argument—that there are degrees of misconduct & this didn't rise to the level of warranting resignation—I don't know if I agree but that's honest at least.

Instead, though, Ds defending Franken make these totally incoherent claims about "due process".
Those "due process" arguments look WORSE in light of this story. Despite it presenting the evidence in a fairly sympathetic light for Franken, it doesn't really offer any reason to disbelieve his several accusers, and his own defenses are pretty half-hearted.
