Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. I think that Strauss Kahn certainly misbehaved, but that the maid is, as reported, mixed up with drug smuggling and other fishy activities and that she disappointed the prosecutors by changing her story until it fell apart.
Clinton and Kennedy, of course, are quite another matter. But you didn’t find the law going out, clapping them into handcuffs, doing a perp walk for the news media, and spreading enough scandalous accusations that they lost their jobs.
I think they were out to nail Strauss Kahn, but the case fell apart on them. Just an opinion, of course, but I don’t think they treated him with the kind of kid gloves they would use for a Kennedy or Joe Biden’s son, or that type of situation.
Why would the American legal system be out to get Strauss-Kahn.

The Leftists needed a scapegoat, and the head of the IMF was a golden goose. He was backed for his Presidential bid by Sarkozy, and we see how he’s getting along right now. The socialist/communist natives are restless in Europe - perhaps the ‘victim’ was influenced by societal rage against the rich as well?
Strauss-Kahn certainly is not getting away in any real sense. His career and reputation are in the toilet. I don’t think people are going to forget, and will have doubt in their minds about him from now on. It also makes him a target in the future for unsavory characters wishing to put him at risk (blackmail and such...).
I hope the case didn’t fall apart simply due to his monetary influence - I think it just fell apart FASTER because of it (unlike the Duke case, for example). JMHO.
