I think Al Franken would disagree that we feel we "should erase a politician's history.....because (s)he's on our side.".

And many of us that have done research realize that while Franken's conduct wasn't perfect, that was largely a hit-job from the right. Why?

Many of us wanted him to be president one day. So naturally he was a target.

And we STILL cut him loose almost instantly....

Also Anthony Weiner, William J. Jefferson, Jesse Jackson Jr, and many more. And if you wish to see Dems called to task, you might enjoy following The Intercept, as I do. I don't like Greenwald's attacks on Biden, but I tolerate them because that's how it's done. https://theintercept.com/

While the focus may shift, I don't really think accountability does. After all, we are ll very aware of how wonderful it feels to have had 8 scandal-free years under Obama, right?
