Very non-apologetic I thought.Live feed over.
Some conservatives have also already noticed that Al Franken hasn't actually resigned ... not yet, anyway ... and are speculating that this is a ploy to sway the Moore election.Very non-apologetic I thought.

Stay tuned ...

I have noticed that too. I also noticed that The President Announced the Capitol of Israel is now Jerusalem but the embassy is not open there yet. What gives?
I'm reminded of a fellow employee some years ago who tendered his resignation ... but then, before leaving his boss's office, thought better of it and asked for his resignation letter back. His boss enjoyed telling the story afterward about how he said "NO". His boss was so glad to get the resignation, he wasn't about to give it back.I have noticed that too.

So, why did he resign? I mean, what was his personal motivation, if he believes he did nothing wrong?
It's political for sure. But some of it may have to do with Minnesota politics. The Democratic Party governor Dayton now gets to pick someone to fill the vacancy. He will probably pick his lieutenant governor Tina Smith, creating a vacancy there. That vacancy apparently is automatically filled by the leader of the state House. Problem there is that she is a Republican. And the state House is Republican by only one vote. Her 'promotion' would put them into a tie until a special election, which could go either way. There is a scramble within Minnesota politics about this and both sides stand to lose or gain. If Tina Smith goes to Washington, she will be a reliable leftist in the Franken tradition, another partisan, and I'm sorry to say probably one more swamp dweller in a town filled with swap dwellers of two parties.Some conservatives have also already noticed that Al Franken hasn't actually resigned ... not yet, anyway ... and are speculating that this is a ploy to sway the Moore election.

Meh.Maybe Franken can take Trump down. The good part of that would be that Mike Pence might be an honorable president. We need one of those again some day.
That may be why he's leaving - to set some sort of precedent."I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party."
