So yeah...grasping at straws. > If someone kisses you or touches you in a sexual way without your permission then it's sexual assault. It's that simple. Which if we take at face value then every single teen boy has committed sexual assault, starting with the "yawn and put your arm around her" move. As the saying goes, "If everybody's guilty of everything, then nobody's guilty of anything." But we need to be careful not to conflate two issues here: suppose we even had iron-clad proof that he did it and was unapologetic and planned to do it again next Thursday, there is zero excuse for the press's near-complete silence on the Clinton emails. I'm not pretending to offer a theory as to why this lack of coverage is occurring - just mentioning it as a data point.
