Sex Offender Al Franken Still Has Not Left Senate, Despite “Resigning” Two Weeks Ago

36

The Democrats cling to power as if it were a drug. It is their religion, their life. Al Franken, whose sexual offenses were so bad that seven Democrat female senators went off the reservation to call for his resignation, still hasn’t left the Senate. Not only is this vampire afraid to leave the dark chamber, but the Democratic leadership is so determined to destroy President Trump that they don’t want to lose one of their most reliable henchmen. If he were a Republican, of course, he would have been long gone by now, and maybe even be facing criminal charges. But he’s their SOB.

“Al Franken drags out Senate departure, only mentions ‘transition’ after replacement named,” by Joseph Weber, Fox News, December 16, 2017:

Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken resigned from Congress two weeks ago amid continuing sexual-misconduct allegations. However, he’s yet to say when he’ll empty his Capitol Hill office, even after his replacement was appointed earlier this week.

“Tina Smith will make an excellent United States senator. … I look forward to working with her on ensuring a speedy and seamless transition,” Franken said after the state lieutenant governor was appointed, without mentioning when he’ll leave.

In his Dec. 7 resignation speech, Franken said only that he’ll be leaving in the “coming weeks.”

Multiple people on Capitol Hill, including those in Senate leadership, told Fox News that they doesn’t know when Franken will leave.

“I’ll be coming home,” was Franken’s only response to a question after future plans, after his Senate floor resignation speech.

Franken was back at work this week, casting votes in the Senate, participating in a committee hearing, attending a senators-only luncheon with Democrats and even posing for a picture with a group of high school students.

The two-term senator, first elected in 2008, had initially intended to let a Senate ethics committee investigate the allegations against him.

However, a seventh claim on Dec. 6., by a woman claiming Franken tried to forcibly kiss her in 2006, resulted in a chorus of female Democratic senators — including New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand and California’s Kamala Harris — calling for his resignation, effectively forcing his departure.

Franken, in his speech, noted his original plan regarding an ethics investigation, which he thought would help. And he argued that “some of the allegations against me are simply not true. Others, I remember very differently.”

Franken also suggested that him leaving elected office while President Trump remains in the Oval Office after bragged on tape about his history of sexual misconduct is “ironic.”

Such statements have led to speculation that Franken, a former comedian, is having second thoughts about his next steps, or that he’s at least in no hurry to be run out of Washington, especially after members of both political parties have raised similar arguments.

Zephyr Teachout, a Democrat who ran for governor of New York, said in an op-ed in the New York Times that she was left with a sense of “something went wrong” when Franken announced he was stepping down.

“Zero tolerance (of sexual misconduct) should go hand in hand with two other things: due process and proportionality,” Teachout wrote. “Both were missing in the hasty call for Senator Franken’s resignation.”

She also said due process “means a fair, full investigation, with a chance for the accused to respond.”…

LOL I don’t think he is going to leave. He enjoys playing god with our lives too much. Definitely an enemy in the battle space for Western civilization.

We don’t want him back in Minnesota, but for the good of the country, okay. He can do stand up at the local dives I guess.

Perhaps when Franken does return to Minnesota, he can assist in the non-existent investigation into the Somali police shooting of an unarmed white, Australian woman back in July. I’m sure, he’ll really help get it back on track…….

That’s not funny. I know you didn’t mean it to be, but the only thing to do with Franken is deport him.

I knew that when he made his announcement, not mentioning when his resignation would take effect.

He should be deported to Syria to live among his fellow sex offenders (SIS) then bombed by a MOAB.

But wait until they convert to Islam so we can have future photo’s of them with their new goat lovers. When I say this I mean the animals they’re having relations with. That way no one will ever be sorry for them. I’ve seen them vids and it takes many pictures of scantily clad females to feel normal again.

Now that is funny!!! How he didn’t get jailed over his 1st election is beyond stupid, but this is the United States Incorporated, operating under color of law, in Chapter 7 liquidation as we speak, working in Admiralty Law and not Constitutional Common Law. Dog and Pony show.

Franken still hasn’t left office. Well, he still has to “transition” his replacement, Tina Smith, into office. Given Franken’s MO, that could take some time.

What is the point of having laws, rules and regulations if they’re not enforced? Or are democrats, as usual, above the law?

The United States is a corporation in Chapter 7 liquidation as we speak. They’ve suspended the Constitution and replaced it with legal statutes that applies to its citizens, which legally means slave or property. Those on the corporate board aren’t subject to its statutes. If they show their hand it’ll give away their secrets. Needs to be replaced in its entirety. As it so happens that’s been done. As of 21st of October, 2017, James Clinton Belcher signed a document as the new Head of State for the The United States of America ( Unincorporated ) and has reclaimed the land and proper government. http://annavonreitz.com/declarationofflag.pdf THIS is our way forward as Constitutional Common Law has jurisdiction over legal statutes filed under color of law. With this comes a lawful construct to use to rid ourselves of the problems. Muslins automatically deported, mosques welded shut, and property of seized. It takes 30 people in a jurisdiction to do this, so you don’t have to convince majority, just 30 people. 25 for the Common Law Grand Jury and supporting staff. In time it will happen. I hope more people become aware of this and will be willing to help. Most info on common law is in the defencive posture and the offensive nature is what is required. We’ll need to start with some cases that will cause them to show their hand in their objections that the process can recover from and shed light on future proceedings. James Clinton Belcher is a direct descendant of original 1779 Head of State.

He said that he would resign, but he never actually did. Until he actually does, the Governor’s replacemet appointment is not valid, but is conditioned upon Franken actually resigning and departing. Franken ths gets to have his cake and to eat it—-at public expense. What are the Dems going to do about it? What can they do? Expel him? Have him shot?

Linda Sarsour enabled sexual assault in workplace. Shielded the assaulter because he was a “good Muslim” – good Muslims assault women, that is one of the privileges of being a good Muslim. And she intimidated, harrased and shamed the victim.
