This is all very confusing!

That’s true. I would not be surprised if Dan Abrams or Larry King will have the blackmailer or whatever on their show. They seems to get something out of perverted sex stories.
This is all very confusing!
I will never vote or give any support to anyone who is not totally against this sick, evil side of America.
That includes anybody who will compromise with this evil.
Yeah, that little detail tends to be left out when it’s a Democrat....you usually have to go Googling around to find out then.

LOL! Exactly.
In order for this to have been a "setup" you would have to know he was going to do that .. which bathroom he would use .. and the security detail at the airport would have to be in on it too. Assuming they conspired to do all of that .. how did they make Craig go into the ONE appropriate men's room, start tapping his foot and reaching under the stall? No, I'm not buying into the "setup" theory.
For me, it seems a whole lot more likely that Craig just got careless .. and when caught, he was too arrogant to admit he couldn't handle the situation. If he had used his head he would have said NOTHING, and would have immediately contacted an attorney. But oh no .. he thought he could handle this because he is a big shot Senator. No, I don't believe Craig was "set up" .. Craig did this to himself.
Remember the MO of CREW getting "something" on Foley. A family linked to that group had a son who was a page and he had been sending FOLEY provocative text messages/emails and he shared Foley's answers with a bunch of other "vulnerable" pages who ridiculed Foley behind his back.
During the exhibition many "witness" pages became informed of what Foley was like and were therefore prepped for making statements when the trigger was pulled right before the election. IOW CREW went to the trouble to set up disaster for Foley (who deserved it) and all Republicans a very long time before they sprung the exposure trap. They had an agent provocateur and a gaggle of support cast. They worked hard at it and they are not the only investigative group working for the Clinton War Room.
The Clintons have used regular PI businesses in the past. One of them, Palladino, was in jail last time I heard. Way back they were working at compromising pubbies on financial matters. I remember watching a Senate hearing where Terry Lenzner let it slip that he had investigated Senator Nichols and his family over Indian reservation support. I remember Nichols saying in a stunned voice, "You investigated my family?! Apparently he didn't get anything on them, but it gives insight into the lengths they go to (and pay for) to get something on somebody.
WRT Craig that airport is one of the usual lay overs on Craig's way home which would be known to anyone trying to get something to use against him--IOW a tracker would know which police records to routinely check for complaints or arrests in a limited time frame via LexisNexis based on where Craig was and in an environment where he would hope to be anonymous. (One little clerk in the PI or CREW office sitting at a computer routinely checking police reports, financial records, anything that could be useful. Not difficult even if the cop did NOT tip somebody off. Also, that specific bathroom in that specific airport was well known to be a trolling ground, hence the cop running the sting.
IMO the cop knew he didn't have enough on Craig to hold up in court, but he also knew Craig didn't need any support for the long term rumors and promised "it wouldn't need to get out" if Craig pleaded to the lesser charge which we know he did. We know that it didn't "get out" for months. Then, all of a sudden, just when Hillary needed a news diversion from Hsu, it DID get out. I believe it was supposed to get out later--at election time.
