Imagine the accuser going to the attorney general of the jurisdiction where a relevant incident occurred and the AG bringing charges against a sitting judge. If the investigation further results in that judge being taken into proceedings that result in his/her being jailed and losing their job because the Senate did not do its job, does that seem like a parallel universe?
