In this particular context it's clear they were absolutely terrified of MeToo because they were aware of the consequences they would face if their sins were ever revealed.
They *knew* what they were doing was wrong. That's why they *manufactured* hysteria around it. It was purposeful propaganda.

Lawrence Krauss being endearing again: "good news btw is that woman on conciliation committee seems like a sweetie.. she is old…. not some young metoo bitch."

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.
