"Do you think all the politicians that called for Franken's resignation are pure as the driven snow?"

No.

I thought my condemnation of Gillibrand made that clear.
I agree with you, she embraced the Clinton's when it worked for her, & threw them under the bus when they didn't.
She's going to learn the hard way, if you want to get anywhere in politics you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. She made some powerful enemies.
And lost my support.

Al is the 'sacrificial lamb', so they can 'claim' the high ground. But they don't have clean hands...

PS, no politician is 'pure'.

Breaking news: GOP Rep. Trent Franks is expected to resign too, for behavior issues.

Well, instead of term limits seems there is another way to clean house....

Well, Franken has not actually resigned. He questioned the charges of some of the accusers and said the others miss-remembered the events. Not really sure why you are sad he is leaving. He will be replaced with another Democrat so there is really no change politically.

Gillibrand has proven herself to be disingenuous on several levels. She was more than happy with the Clinton's when it was useful to her. She really discredited herself.

If Franken does follow through and resign I am pretty sure Ellison would not be chosen. He would be a very weak candidate in the election.

The entire list should be made public and any taxpayer settlement dollars ought to be "clawed back" from the perpetrators. Which politician's should we trust to have no skeletons in their closets? I have no idea.

Do you think all the politicians that called for Franken's resignation are pure as the driven snow?

The whole fiasco illustrates why I want as small a government as possible and why market forces are the best choice for our society.
