I watched the interview and I didn’t make those conclusions. Its more than credible enough to just believe it. And I don’t know that the fine detail matters. Graham said there was no more coming out and this came out. He has categorically denied it, but that was before the interview. I’d be surprised if he hasn’t stepped down before the end of the night. It could be an outright lie (I dont think it is, I think its fully credible), and it won’t matter now.

“TropicalDingDong sexually assaulted me five years ago and I had texts to prove it but I deleted them all. See, look at these emails I exchanged with my therapist last week about it. If you don’t believe me, just listen to my anonymous friends who I confided in at the time.” See how credible that is?

Well I’m going off the actual text in the Politico and NYTimes articles. If you want to cite a video, can you provide a time stamp? I don’t have time to watch a 25 minute long video. And the fine details do matter. Again, because we’re dealing with what has an extremely high probability of being a political hit piece. And Graham saying nothing more is coming out isn’t damning at all. She herself claims Platner didn’t remember the event. Even if she’s telling the truth, Platner would have been completely honest when he said he didn’t think anything else was coming out. She’s claiming he was blackout drunk and had no memory of the event.
