But that's not evidence. Even if I were to say, "I just robbed a liquor store", that would not be actual evidence of it happening. There would have to be evidence of the incident occurring before an admission of guilt can be taken into account. The only evidence we have so far is witness testimony.

1) An admission of guilt in a related crime or immoral activity is evidence.
2) Witness testimony is evidence.

Witness testimony, contrary to what Law and Order might have you believe, is notoriously unreliable.

It can be, but it's also used in the vast majority of cases as evidence, and in some cases the decision is mostly based on witness testimony.

Of course not. Nobody is above the law. But nobody is below the law either. Until sufficient evidence is provided to determine an investigation needs to take place, then they can't do anything.

I can't stress this enough: witness testimony is court-admissible evidence. Especially if these women go before the Senate or a court (and thus are sworn to be truthful), it becomes quite serious evidence.
