WaPo’s Phillips: Dems Silent on Al Franken Because ‘Republicans Could Take His Seat’

RUSH EXCERPT:
PHILLIPS: "Yes, I think Senate have to decide, do you decide, if there are credible allegations, at least one in senator frank Ken case consists of him while he was a sitting member of Congress, decide they have to go before there is any kind of -- what Franken's defenders would call ethics in the Senate. At this point I don't see much of a difference between the allegations between congressman Conyers and senator Franken. It's credible women given allegations corroborated by the media. They are on the record with names, dates, very vivid details. Politically speaking it's a fact that if senator Franken goes, Republicans could take his seat. While if Congressman Conyers goes, Democrats could probably keep his Detroit area seat in their hands."
