a couple of actual facts here
1. the media knew of the incident and passed
for 5 or 6 months
2. if he is gay or anyone is gay, there ain’t a first,there is a next....he got no one for a year sayin they was first
3. I bet he coped to “invading someone’s space in a toilet” in his mind. As a Senator he said yes to whatever got him outta this PC moment in a toilet. I bet at this second he had no clue sex was involved and I also bet the media thought the same at the time.
4. His wife when asked by Lauer, would a marriage of convience....blah blah.....I absolutely believe her
5 . Idaho ...........again...........Idaho.......
6. His fight to hold his office by fighting to hold his
decency......................I believe him
I read that cop knows- and said he could identify- something like 70 US senators. He’s a political junkie! I think he knew who Craig was at the time.
I’m fuzzie, but I’m pretty sure I read that. I put nothing put the Clintons; they said they would get even with everyone involved in Impeachment.
Even if Craig is a dope,something smells here.
For the record: I believe 1) this was a set up; 2) had he contested it, he would have won in court but been almost as harmed as he is now; 3) I don't care if he's gay, but I do care if he's trolling in a public bathroom where a 12 year old might happen in; 4) despite the legal case being more than questionable, I think he was trolling for all the reasons others have listed above.
Regarding your point about the timing: This came out very soon after the Hsu story did. As soon as the Hsu story started to grow legs, this became the major story, thus deflecting negative attention from Hillary.
I believe her blackmail machines have been setting up as many Republicans as possible in order to spring the "news" right before the '08 election which will probably be as effective as the Foley stuff was.
She just needed to pull one of the triggers early to deflect the spotlight at a moment critical for her IMO. If I'm right, we need to worry about how many other Republicans are compromised in some way she can use.
During the interview with the police sergeant immediately following the bathroom incident, Craig said, "I don't do these kinds of things." The problem there is that the sgt had not said what Craig was being questioned for, said nothing re homosexual sex. So.... what did Craig mean by "these kinds of things?"
Also, in the Lauer interview, Craig stated the police officer "jerked" him out of the bathroom. That was nowhere in the original transcripts or descriptions.
