But it carries an unfortunate subtext in the #MeToo era, when "witch hunt" is the default cry of anyone looking to cast doubt on an accusation of sexual harassment, undermining a cultural shift that aims toward greater respect for victims. His insistence on the "very democratic ideal that it's better to let 10 guilty men go free than imprison one innocent man" is well intentioned, and his claim that this is a "witch hunt" ties this episode's interest in mob mentality together. Mulder is the only one to distrust all of this "perfect" evidence, and his gut instinct is right.
