Rumors, whispers of rumors, partisan conspiracies, relentless "investigations" based on lies, innuendo and wishful thinking -- ultimately yielding absolutely nothing -- and years of underhanded machinations also yielding exactly nothing (except typical male executive philandering), do NOT equal a "pattern...of elicit behavior." They equals nothing more than a very unhealthy obsession that has wasted untold millions of dollars, scads of time and energy and averted attention from real issues of State perpetrated by a party culpable of so much real damage.  It's amazing to me how much intelligent, effective, powerful women are hated based on two-bit conspiracy theories.
