Hi csl,

I generally agree with the concerns. That's why I've been focussed only on folks with a long running pattern.

The Wall Street Journal, a paper for folks on the right, describes him as having "dozens" of people alleging sexual misconduct. http://www.wsj.com/articles/dozens-of-people-recount-pattern-of-sexual-misconduct-by-las-vegas-mogul-steve-wynn-1516985953

There are malicious accusers out there. But dozens is a lot by any measure.

I don't agree with clo that even a $7.5m payout is condemnatory, as defending yourself is ludicrously expensive and he has a lot to lose. But dozens makes me think he was likely another of the genuine bad hombres.

I say it without regard to his politics. Harvey Weinstein was a left-of-centre guy. Sometimes the case against is extremely persuasive. clo was probably right about the Trump adviser and I did my best to defend him on the same grounds you are employing. Assume innocence.

You seem to want it to be about politics. But it's only about criminal behaviour.

I have not given two minutes of thought to Steve Wynn. I just took a quick look at the most recent allegations against him.

It appears two anonymous women have made accusations of reprehensible behavior that occurred more than 40 years ago.

Perhaps the accusations are true. Perhaps they are not. I really don't have any idea.

What concerns me the new political strategy is to show a pattern of behavior of sexual misconduct that can never be proven to have occurred, nor refuted, repeat those allegations until the public accepts them as true, and then use them as a tool of political and personal character assassination. I find that scary.
