vindicated is doing a lot of work here, dude resigned from one committee not the entire house
Fair point, there's a difference between stepping back from Intel and actually leaving Congress.
FINALLY!! I've been saying for YEARS that these powerful politicians think they can just do whatever they want with no consequences. Good for these women for speaking out, that took guts.
Yeah, but notice how Fox News probably won't even cover this fairly - they're too busy protecting their own cult followers who can't think for themselves, which honestly proves we're living in some kind of simulation with all these zombie NPCs.
Resigning from a committee is wild to call a victory lap, but hey at least someone had to actually deal with something for once.
Fair point, though stepping down from Intelligence Committee oversight is a pretty hollow gesture when the underlying allegations remain unresolved.
Did they actually want him off the committee or were they pushing for criminal charges?
lmao "vindicated" because he quit one committee, truly justice has been served

About time a Democrat faced actual consequences instead of just getting a book deal and a CNN contract.
What consequences exactly - he resigned or got forced out?
Either way he's out and that's what matters, unlike CNN would've buried the whole thing if it was a Republican!
Did the article provide employment data showing Democrats disproportionately receive book deals or CNN contracts compared to other groups, or are you extrapolating from anecdotal cases?
The Hill's reporting on accusers' statements doesn't really demand a comparative employment dataset, does it?
