Moral Hysteria runs into .... Me Too?

 What do you do when you are supposed to believe all women, but that belief provides a credible defense against a sacrilege offense against a cherished moral hysteria (and legitimate rule of law issue)?

see this article on Pelosi laptop twist

The facts of the case seem to matter to me less than the dynamics of the moral tensions which could be at play were people more honest about how moral judgment processes work.  I think what happens is people decide which heuristic to apply in any situation, conveniently ignoring the ones that don't lead to the proper ex post facto conclusion.
