    Again, I think she’s telling the truth and I even think that it’s likely he is knowingly lying. But his tears were real and had to do with the pain his actions are having on his family and people he cares about. Not beer.

And you know what, if you think she's telling the truth, and you think he's knowingly lying, then I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS PAIN AND EFFECTS ON HIS FAMILY. He has, if this is true, caused long-term damage to a woman (probably more than one) - and his succession to the court, if it happens, and if this is true, speaks volumes on our societies valuation of women as a whole. He can, and should, suffer. There are ways to act, and his methods are those of a sociopath and that's me being generous.
