Everyone liberals and conservatives, Christians and atheists, black and white are entitled to the presumption of innocence. The burden of proof always rests on the accuser as it must.
And yet you wouldn't allow an investigation for the facts to be gathered because he denies it. The same people that are entitled to the presumption of innocence are also entitled to due process...
How is anyone supposed to objectively asses any statements for truth if an investigation is suppressed because he said it didn't happen.
I agree with you that accusers have the right to be heard. I never said these accusations should not be investigated. Any possibility credible accusation deserves investigation
while holding firmly to the principle that the accused is innocent until proven guilty.
The constitution clearly assigns this duty to the Senate which also has the power of the subpoena to carry it out. It is the job of the Senate and only the Senate to determine what investigation is warranted, see that it is carried out, and weigh the evidence.
The Senate has requested a supplemental FBI investigation to help them in their decision making and that is underway.
