    Every accusation is unsubstantiated until someone puts in enough effort to substantiate it. The point is that the FBI received a ton of complaints specific to Trump and never really looked into them.

    #metoo was started to address the fact that accusations by women are regularly ignored or dismissed without any follow up.

      Also FBI reports are not casual - lying can be punished by up to 5 years in fedaral prison. It’s not a place where to go troll someone especially since you wouldn’t gain much from it either. Yet FBI here neither prosecuted the liers or investigated the claims.

      I’m not an american but this clearly reeks of either incredible incompetence or incredible malice.
