   Find something else to do with his life? You mean in prison, right?

     P.P.S. I am completely willing to believe that Swalwell has convinced himself that every one of those relationships was consensual. Men like this legitimately believe that. He's not lying, he's just wrong. Which is all the more reason why he needs to drop out of the race for California governor and find something else to do with his life where he won't have power over younger women.

     P.S. "I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife," means "I have cheated on my wife multiple times."
     Given Swalwell's position of power, it is _overwhelmingly likely_ that the women he cheated on his wife with were subordinate to him within a power structure he sat at the top of.
     That's nonconsensual _by definition_.
     There's a _reason_ why ethical companies prohibit relationships of that sort.

     It's quite simple.
     When multiple women on the same political side who still work in politics publicly accuse a prominent, powerful politician of sexual assault, and some of them have contemporaneous receipts dating back years, the odds that the man has sexually assaulted multiple women is approximately 100%, and the odds that all those women are lying is approximately 0%.
     Hey, ho, #EricSwalwell's got to go.
