Even the premise examination of the of the one accusation actually looked at is pretty flawed. Apparently none of it matters if she had questionable motivations, presented her complaint in a not entirely forthright manner and consented to similar contact during the performance.
Meanwhile, the fact that Al was replaced by a competent and well-liked Dem who easily won reelection and that he would have been a giant distraction on all kinds of fronts had he not resigned are not mentioned.
But sure. The Gov and Lt in Virginia have demonstrated that you can ride these things out and Al maybe could have kept being a Senator. That's not a thing that anyone who isn't Al should value.
