Yeah.

A scatter-shot evacuation of policy priority talking points clad in a marginally relevant tough-talk demand . . . While I've never supported Murray and always supported Sawant, I found this editorial poorly and unfortunately crafted.

The fact that you're still writing Op Eds instead of starting the impeachment process, even after Murray has said multiple times that he will not resign, sends a very strong message to abuse survivors, and it's not a good one. Murray isn't going to be charged with a crime and it's unlikely any lawsuit against him will succeed, impeachment is the only way this man gets punished for such a heinous crime. Don't pass the buck, don't let Murray leave office with his dignity intact. Impeach the motherfucker already!

Ed could resign pretty easily, but the Council showing leadership would require a lot of work and several resignations.

Shouldn't you be out campaigning for Jill Stein, Putin's useful idiot?

Has she ever shown leadership? She's as useless as Rob Johnson except she's more of a media whore.

@7 - How can you single out Johnson when nearly all of them are ridiculous? Back OT - Sawant is the pot and Murray is the kettle here.

Why is Sawant getting a platform to say city council needs more leadership? She's spent the entirety of her time in office pissing off essentially all her colleagues. She's been a model of anti-leadership.

That's called "a tell."

Very hard to believe this was a complete secret and no one knew.

Yes, it's almost like it was created for this campaign season for risibly gullible fools to swallow and regurgitate. (Because it's just so believable that a serial abuser of minors would just stop one day and not offend again for thirty-plus consecutive years.)

I would like to see the City Council hold impeachment hearings, and send subpoenas to all of Murray's accusers. Watching each one of them refuse to repeat his accusations under oath would be pretty entertaining.

Almost as entertaining as watching Sawant and 2CV wonder why.

Her brand of leadership is co-opting the Pulse memorial to talk about affordable housing.

What crime did the Mayor commit while in office? While in his official capacity as Mayor?

What is the point of her agitating like this? Cheap attention? Isn't there enough for city govt to deal with under the circumstances? Let's just transition and get the dude out of here. Cool it, Ms. Sawant. Tarring and feathering minus a legal process is not on trend.

...i'd just wish all parties would continue the search for the truth.

What on earth made you think anyone has been interested in "the search for the truth"? Delvonn Heckard dropped his lawsuit, literally on the eve of having to provide evidence to support his many loud public accusations. Jeff Simpson has changed his story multiple times, carefully shedding the parts which might be contradicted by a paper trail. Ed Murray has shown the interest any middle-aged person with sense would show in talking publicly about his youthful sexcapades. The Stranger has simply ignored evidence which doesn't fit their smear campaign against Murray, such as Simpson's accusations against another foster parent, who was also investigated with no charges filed.

No, no one anywhere in this sorry mess has shown any interest in any "search for the truth." I'll simply borrow a line from a better writer and inform you, "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."

I bet we'll see some movement on this after the final primary results are in. No need to distract people when many barely pay attention to the primary as it is. If Murray's backers are confident Durkan is going to be mayor, seems like it will be easier to push Murray out the door, knowing they'll still have a friend at City Hall in 2018.

Please wait...
