I am sorry, but I am not buying this one because of the political drama in this. The Dems and Republican Establishment want him out of Senate. Mitch McConnell spent millions trying to defeat this guy with Luther Strange and the voters soundly rejected the Establishment's candidate. Moore is not a RINO and believes in Trump. You can't tell me that all the millions spent trying to uncover dirt on Moore they never found this until now? Also, the newspaper this woman went to hates Trump and hates this guy. Seems like smear job, but only my opinion.
Ya. How did Washington Post get such an improbable scoop. 30 some odd years after 4 alleged incidents, 4 women bring allegations independent of one another, each telling a similar tale that shames Mr. Moore. Moreove, the 4 different women independently come into contact with Washington Post around the same time. UNBELIEVABLE
A local Alabama politics reporter said these rumors have circulated for years.
The reporters who got this story are women which might have helped the women coming forward feel comfortable.
Moreover, the 4 different women independently come into contact with Washington Post around the same time.
It's not that 4 different women approached the Post, I think it's more like as the Washington Post was developing this one story they were trying to find other incidents or corroborating information and heard about these women. They have 30 sources for their reporting. Gadsen had 47,000 people back then. Moore was well known in the town.
Who said the whole town knew? I said a political reporter heard about them. He did what a reporter does, he tried to confirm the story and he didn't. The women talked on the record. The ability to confirm a scoop is dependent on getting sources to confirm. It's not more complicated than that.
There have been a lot of women coming forward recently to tell their stories.

I just don’t have confidence in the abilities of these reporters to get a scoop like this from 4 different women, three decades later.
We’re supposed to believe that the whole town knew about it as rumor and nobody said or did anything?
