After Call for Help, [The wife of U.S. Rep. James P. Moran] Seeks Divorce (Legacy Re-Post)
Washinton Post ^ | Jun 25, 1999 | Hsu, Spencer S; Davis, Patricia

Posted on 09/15/2014 9:16:41 AM PDT by 11th_VA

The wife of U.S. Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) filed for divorce yesterday, one day after she called police to the couple's Alexandria home and told them that her husband had grabbed her and pushed her during an argument.

But Mary Moran said in an interview that she agrees with the decision of Alexandria authorities not to file charges against her husband. She also said it was the first such altercation in their 11- year marriage.

Alexandria police said they were called to the Morans' home at 7:20 a.m. Wednesday. After hearing their conflicting versions of what had happened, the police officer at the scene did not believe there was cause to make an arrest, Police Chief Charles E. Samarra said.

Being a ‘Rat means never having to say you’re sorry — and actually mean it.

Some states have a rule that EVERY Domestic Violence call requires the removal of one of the parties involved from the home. Some require an arrest.

Moran just needed some Ray Lewis mentoring, and all would have been fine.

Good thing he’s a US rep and not a football player. He’ll keep his job.

Hhhuuuhhhh, so in addition to be being a drunk, it appears he is a mean drunk...who knew. Maybe he and Ray Rice can start a support group.

When my senile father called the police because I was not answering his relentless phone calls, they showed up at the house and separated me from my husband! All my father had said was that I wasn’t answering the phone - somehow those dopes interpreted it as domestic abuse, I guess.

Yeah, and that is getting seriously abused in divorce cases. The courts insist on making a winner and a loser when there is custody of children involved, so there is an incentive to fight dirty. Whoever loses custody becomes a financial slave to the other spouse.

One of the effective techniques is to file domestic assault charges on the other spouse to try to paint them as the "primary aggressor". If successful, that can win you custody of the kids and the accompanying child support award as well.

Isn’t this the RAT who basically assaulted a couple of investigative journalists on the street for asking him some pointed questions not long ago?

How long did it take you to get that straightened out?

Two minutes. I was and still remain deeply puzzled. They didn’t rough us up or anything - just put my husband in a different room. Of course, as Freepers know, I’m much more dangerous than my gentle husband.

James F. Moron is one of the classic congressional jerks.

Anybody here believe that??

Nobody posted the RATs photo so here it is:

We don't know all the details yet, but the guy is still a RAT.
