 ”...the flight fear was unfounded.
 ”They had the IMF director arrested like a chicken thief. To justify it, they brought up (the risk of) flight, but the plane was booked some time ago (and changed the previous day).”
 French logic at work: they caught him on an AF flight ready to leave the country for France. 
  But he wasn’t a flight risk because his ticket was bought in advance.
  If that’s his defense, he might be buying himself a one way ticket to Attica!

It is possible that jury nullification is another move they are in store for. They can claim many Americans are prejudicial to DSK, and he is entitled to impartial jury. That will be another comedy. I can picture ‘fine minds’ from Grandes Ecoles are huddling together and scouring legal literature of U.S. at this time to save their superstar DSK.
