That's an important difference. Sure I don't want the allegations to be true and Swallwell should suffer the consequences if proven to be true. Which considering the number of accusers I tend to believe his guilt, but I would feel better if Swallwell did the right thing if he did any of it. I don't want another Franken situation, rush to judgement. Swallwell either has to disprove these allegations within 1 week or risk Democrats losing the CA Governor's seat.
