He did not admit to doing what they said he did. He agreed to plead “guilty” to something (not soliciting for sex) in order to get on his way. THAT is the ONLY thing they have on him.
He did absolutely zero in that restroom outside of what any normal person would do....as he told the officer...he went there to use the toilet. Period.
The OFFICER, not Sen.Craig, started doing all kinds of wierdo things that brought some responses from Sen. Craig as it would from any sane individual who sees a note being held under your bathroom stall wall.
What else did he do? He peered into the stall where the cop was? HE WAS TRYING TO FIND AN EMPTY STALL.....just as he said....and he had been waiting outside of that one for some time and the cop just wouldn’t come out and there wasn’t one open until the one beside the cop came open.
And what else. He tapped his foot. Wow.
What else. He moved his hand under the wall of the stall - TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HECK THE COP WAS SHOVING UNDER THE STALL WALL TOWARDS HIM???
What else. He moved his one foot far enough over that it touched the foot of the cop. Could it be possible the cop was moving his foot over just to produce this result????
These are the most bogus ridiculous idiotic charges that have brought all this hubub and is fitting the purpose of getting rid of Senator Craig.
Senator Craig realized he was wrong to not fight for his right to continue in the Senate just as he should - becuase HE KNOWS HE HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY ZERO WRONG.
I am glad he is fighting - America needs this man in the US Senate.
It seems many of you Craig defenders have a hard time separating the media from the court. Yes he did do what the courts said he did. He admitted to it. He was convicted of the crime. The fact that he is now trying to back out of his guilty plea is just one more instance of his propensity to lie.
As far as the media goes. I pay no attention to what they say. If Craig had been smart, he would not have given them all the ammunition to fire at him. If he had only gone in there to use the toilet, he would not be in this situation now. All his explanations for his acts defy reason and in the complaint that he signed, he admitted to the fact that his actions were not normal acts of one just going to use the toilet. By his own words in the court documents he admitted to it.
Either he is a liar, amnesiac, lunatic, or imbecile. I would vote for all except amnesiac. In any case, he does not belong in the senate. His behavior during this entire situation has been one of lie and deception after lie.
If your explanation for his situation were correct and everything he did was completely normal, why did he admit to behavior that others would have found disturbing, disruptive and out of place in a bathroom. You could get by with all your conjecture if he himself had not signed a document disputing what you believe. There is no excuse for his behavior. He can’t even offer any reasonable excuse for his behavior. That is why he has not been able win in court.
Craig’s apologists can say whatever they want, he’s a liar — proved by his own words. He’s guilty which can be proved by him admitting so in the court documents and in his rejected appeal. The democrats and their media will have a field day with this until the day he leaves office. I’m not even sure we can trust his statement that he will be leaving when his term is up. Remember, he has proved time after time to be a liar. So the people of Idaho may have to put up with this garbage until the republican primary. What a great start for the new republican senatorial candidate. If Craig left now, as he had promised to do if he lost the last appeal, we’d have a great conservative Senator without baggage or innuendo who would be preparing for a certain victory.
Making excuses for this lying degenerate’s behavior makes you seem as though you are suffering whatever delusional disease affects him. I hope you recover soon. And I hope the rest of republican party is not severely damaged by this deviant.
