Up to 11 now. All those trips he was secretly making? His personal staff were designating (good)/(bad) people at those scheduled events with (bad) being people who’d ask him troublesome questions and they did their best to avoid bad people, up to and including cancelling events at the last second in order to prevent Pruitt from risking facing a non-good person.

so a statement of “I don’t agree but there’s no way I can do this job while holding office with this sucking all of the air out of the room”. Which could be a well worded dodge or just the damn honest truth because there’s no way that the Press would allow him to continue because he’s a Democrat.
Now if the ladies are serious, then there should be lawsuits because if he did what they said he did, then he should be prosecuted.
period…
if this all suddenly goes away…. well, what would you think? Punishment enough? He used his position of power to abuse me and now its done? I want justice done if these women have been abused, you don’t get to abuse women just because you’re a drunk. Unless you’re the President, apparently or a Republican. Still, I want laws upheld and punishment meted if there was a crime.

@lamh36:
I saw the story yesterday about the Republicans trying to smear two former Obama staffers over the Iran deal. Fortunately, they did not succeed because the two men and their families were all clean.
I think that, at this point, any powerful Democrat who has a nasty skeleton in their closet needs to assume that it will come out sooner rather than later and take steps immediately to reveal it themselves and mitigate the fallout. We can’t have this shit coming out in late October FFS.

Unfortunately it sounds like this one is true. Ironic that he was involved in starting what started the metoo movement. Anyway I’d like his replacement to be an experienced deputy who just keeps going like nothing happened. That’s how we can deal with dirt leaks. Just have replacements as good or better ready to put in. Mean’s prep research ahead of time…what are critical investigators? Whose just as good with no skeletons? Plan.

@Steve in the ATL: It is so awful that she has had to have two surgeries and they are still at a loss. I’ve been through that as a child. I was in and out of UCLA Medical the first four years of my life without a diagnosis. A local GP looked at me and told my mom to have my tonsils out and I would be fine. This happened, so if Mrs. in the ATL still has her tonsils, maybe? Seriously, I hope Mayo can help.

@Mnemosyne:
I recommend refusing to recognize the GOP’s legitimacy as a political party if the House doesn’t flip this November. It’s an historical pattern that the president’s party loses an average of 32 seats. Protests, sit-ins, the works at the Capitol. Make it impossible for them to do their jobs (what little they do already) and harass them.

@piratedan:
IMO (and IANAL), a civil lawsuit would hurt the victim’s case in the eyes of the public unless the statute of limitations has expired for a criminal case. And if a criminal case is brought, he should probably take the best plea he can get rather than drag it through the courts.
And if this is all BDSM gone wrong as his initial statement seemed to imply, well, this is why smart people who are into BDSM get a written and signed contract saying what they will and won’t do before playing out any scenes. He would be well-advised to do that before entering into any new BDSM relationships.
