    Is it too late to fight back against Kevin Johnson? I'm asking with respect to whether the public is beyond caring now.

    Or will it find traction at some point?

    If its true, and her specific identification of events would strongly indicate truth to me, then here's hoping that KJ finally gets his due.

    Kevin Johnson is one of the scummier people in politics.

    Is there anything new being revealed here? I believe the police report and stories about KJ and the high school girl have been floating around for decades, so it's not like this is a shocking new thing.

    This has been the black cloud hovering over Johnson's head since 95, but it hasn't prevented his steady ascension anyways, so unless there's some startling new info I doubt that would all change now.

    His girlfriend is the real monster though, right?

    There is nothing new in the Cosby case either.

    The video is huge. It's going to be impossible for KJ to deny that one away. Why do you think he paid her hush money?

    Valid point. America just sorta decided in 2015 that it did care about the same Cosby allegations it'd been disregarding for years. Maybe the same will happen here.

    Deadspin got its hands on the video of the police interview. That is what was new.

    The girl broke her silence and came forward a couple weeks ago, I think.

    Oh, I didn't know that. Guessing the Cosby case prompted her too.

    I never gave him much thought, but this is the first I've heard of it. I'm glad those of us who didn't know are now aware he's a scumbag.
