53. Would you acknowledge any of these 4 things?

1) if there are several different accusers from different time periods, then it is most likely that some third party is actively trying to discover and connect these multiple charges?

2) If there is a person trying to make such a case, they are likely motivated for personal reasons (money, fame, politics)?

3) Considering that this was dropped in the middle of a major campaign, the motives are most likely political?

4) If the motives are political rather than judicial, they may not care whether there is any evidence that would stand up in a trial?
