Same way guilt is proven everywhere. A crime has been reported to police. Investigated by criminal investigators. Where both the accused and the accuser can state their case. Put before an unbiased jury, where the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt.
It’s more than a legal standard, atleast it should be. Each one of us needs to ask ourselves why innocent until proven guilty is better than the alternative, and ask what precedent we want to set for ourselves.
The FBI was hamstrung because they WERE NOT INVESTIGATING A CRIME.
Y’all should have been demanding a criminal investigation into the allegation if you cared about Ford and about justice. There’s a massive difference, 90% of /politics posters are just not understanding what the FBI were investigating, and still don’t.
There cannot be a criminal investigation until Ford files a report with the police. This is a TV trial and it’s bipartisan BAD BAD BAD for everyone who has principals like innocent until proven guilty.

Okay, so then you agree that the whole process put forth by Republicans was a sham. Thanks for confirming.
