It's like the Capone trial. Officially, he was tried for tax violations, but un-officially, he went to prison for being a damned mob boss.

Sort of yeah.

Except kavanaugh got away with it, of course. And his views on executive power aren't actually illegal, just ill advised.

Biden being creepy is well known, Biden groping women, I don't think so.

Really? Groping is only grabbing someone by the chest? You sure about that?

That may be; it's interesting to see all the "OMFG How could you!" comments and yet declare the claims against donnie as "fake news"

People, it doesn't matter whether this is worse than what Trump did. We all know Republicans have absolutely zero standards, that has no bearing on whether Biden should be the Democratic candidate. Democrats can do a lot better than him

There's a stark power imbalance when the man running the pagent comes backstage and does something like that. Doesn't take a huge amount of critical thought to suspect a degree of coercion, implied or otherwise.
