Answer me this, Folks
Answer me this, Folks.
Even though Donald Trump has more women accusing him of sexually inappropriate behavior than just about any of these other guys, why is he getting a free pass when the rest of them are up the creek without a paddle?
How does he do it?

There's some chatter in the dark corners of the web that all the recent sexual harassment outings are a prelude to impeaching The Donald.
Problem is, a President can't be impeached for crimes committed as a civilian prior to holding office. So until he emulates JFK or Slick Willy Clinton, Trump is above the law....

Lack of legal evidence?
Not saying he was or wasn't a jerk or worse with women, but proving it is a whole other story. Beyond that, it is all opinion, easily written off to partisanship.

A President can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. So what are high crimes and misdemeanors? The Constitution is not clear. I think President Ford said they were anything the House of Representatives said they were. Perhaps "picking his feet in Poughkeepsie." A President might be impeached for crimes committed as a civilian prior to holding office if the crime were discovered after assuming office.

How do some men, like the Donald, have "the teflon touch" while others, like Charlie Rose, don't?
This is what I'm wondering.
It doesn't make sense.

Rose can be fired by a few people who are driven by short-term public opinion and who have no burden of proof for their actions. There are no legal requirements or restrictions involved in firing Rose.
Charges like this are very hard to prove without solid evidence. You don't need evidence to fire Rose. And remember that Bill Clinton was not impeached for his alleged actions, but for perjury and obstruction of justice.
The Dems are not going after Trump because they know that they have no legal case.

It must be that Right wing media bias, Every time i turn on CNN or one of the networks or open the NY Times/Washington Post it is just cheerleading for the Republican agenda.

The answer isn't that difficult. It's because not every charge is equal.
There is sexual harassment as defined legally, which is threatening one's job if they don't do sexual favors. A lesser but still illegal action is making the workplace insufferable. This involves abuse of power.
Another illegality is using taxpayer funds to fly a mistress to meet you. Or actual sexual assault. Of course, another charge is statutory rape, though no one has made that charge in the recent complaints that I've heard.
Finally, there's simply being a pig which isn't illegal.
Then we get to decide how believable the women are. And also of consideration is how long ago these thing supposedly happened.
My personal rating of what I've heard is that I rank Trump and Franken as being pigs, that Moore was attracted to girls too young for him but there's no charge of statutory rape and I don't know that I believe he was basically a gentleman with them yet supposedly tried to forcibly rape one. All three of these also happened a long time ago. I'm good with leaving voters to decide if they think they can still do a good job.
Conyers on the other hand abused his power and illegally used taxpayer dollars to meet up with his mistresses. He has to be tossed out of office. And we also need to know who else has used taxpayer funds to make legal charges of sexual harassment go away, and those people also need to be tossed out of office and the laws changed so that this doesn't happen anymore.

Who's gonna fire Trump? The congressmen are even BIGGER philanderers than Trump is...and they are doing it at WORK, on the taxpayer's dime.
