    Breaking.

    She revealed that the sexual assault occurred in 2010.

    Lindsay Menz told CNN that she walked away as soon as the photo was taken, without saying anything to the then-first term senator. When she reconnected with her husband moments later, she told him: "He totally grabbed my butt."

    Cue YF telling us we should skip the investigation and kick his ass out now. But heaven forbid we even investigate the accusations against Trump and Moore.

    Yup, he's out the door.

    Here's the key part:
    I like DW's trolling thread title, too. ;) That said, I know he's a stickler for precise language and making sure to use proper legal terminology, so it should be noted that "Minnesota statutes state that 'intentional touching of the clothing covering the immediate area of the buttocks' is not considered criminal sexual conduct." Time to change that thread title, Dickie! :D
