Al Franken could have had his Senate Ethics Committee hearing, had he wanted to, but I think today’s New Yorker piece shows that even now he doesn’t really know what his defense would have been.
”He sees it differently than his accusers, where he remembers what happened at all, and some but definitely not all of them are his political opponents” pretty obviously isn’t enough.
“This conduct, even if true, doesn’t rise to the level of a great senator’s resignation,” could conceivably have more weight, but it’s a value judgment outside the purview of a fact-finding hearing. That’s a case he could’ve made to his caucus, but it seems like p long odds.
