#SexualMisconduct #MediaCircus . . .
I don't know if #Swalwell is guilty of the sexual misdeeds that he is accused of but, if he is, I believe that he should be punished accordingly in a properly conducted civil and/or criminal proceeding.
What I DO NOT like is the holding of #PressConferences to indict Swalwell w/o the opportunity for him to speak in his own defense which only incites #PublicOpinion for the sole purpose of trying him in the #CourtOfPublicOpinion &, as I witnessed in this morning's press conference, the opportunity for the defense attorneys to drum up more business by soliciting other "victims" to come forward & to serve as their attorneys (for which they will not charge any up front fees but take a BIG contingency fee -- as much as 40% in CA -- in any civil judgment rendered against Swalwell.
I also dislike the notion that only women can be the victims of sexual abuse. It's certainly not as common but men can & have been such victims not only at the hands of women but other men as well.

Weisselberg pleaded guilty in Aug to 15 counts including #TaxFraud, #conspiracy & #GrandLarceny & is serving a 5-mo jail sentence.…
Merchan will have the unprecedented job of figuring out how to hold a criminal proceeding involving a famously combative fmr president, who is still protected by the US #SecretService, & whose court appearances will almost certainly create a #MediaCircus.
