The allegation of sexual assault by a New York hotel chambermaid against then IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Khan (DSK) on May 14 seemed like a slam dunk.
Here was DSK, a powerful man with a long history of aggressive womanizing on a grand scale, a man known to be impervious to propriety, ethics and professional boundaries in his pursuit of new conquests.
The 32-year old chambermaid, his alleged victim, on the other hand, appeared to be the poster woman for female powerlessness. She is an immigrant from Guinea and a single mother, struggling to make ends meet.

It seems that everyone involved is effectively a criminal, or has unethical connections and engages in character assassination.
DSK ruling elitist with the standard leftist Kennedy proclivity weakness.
The "Maid" drug gang money and prostitution connections. Immigration perjury. Muslim
Nifong style Investigators and Prosecutors
The Union Local 6 work assignments and shakedown demonstrations and work stoppages.
Hotel management.
The new female IMF replacement Chicago connection, with The IMF going after Quadaffi's gold, and France after the oil.
Dsk likely won't succeed Sarkozy, now.
My opinion, they're ALL the bad guys, and us ordinary people are the victims.
“We jumped all over this guy like the Ethnic Studies profs at Duke jumped all over the Duke lacrosse team. “
Hardly an apt comparison. We literally “jumped all over this guy” because he left his stuff in the hotel room and boarded a flight back to France — which has a history of never extraditing criminals. They barely got there in time to drag him off the plane.
Some people need jumping.
No one knew the history of the woman in the Duke lacrosse case in the first couple of days. What the authorities had on this woman in NY was the tape recorded telephone conversation with her imprisoned boyfriend, asking him for advice on how to exploit the situation.
The woman had no right to the expectation of privacy when communicating with a prisoner. She was just plain stupid. All conversations with prisoners, are recorded. I don’t know how they work it with conversations between prisoners and lawyers.
Big bucks, big lawyer, no problem “settling” this.
Nothing to see, move along, see?
There’s was an article in the NYT some days ago about the no. of bank accounts this woman has and the no. of people transferring money into it. Likewise for her phone, when she had disclosed to prosecutors that she had only 1 line. She’s also on tape asking someone if she should say that he raped her. The prosecution’s case is starting to look extremely shaky.
Yes, the man is as guilty as hell from the facts given to date.
I am not talking about the police arrest. I am talking about the trial in the press. The authorities knew the next day that there was something a little off about the victim, yet they let the one sided story continue to be pushed by the press. It was selling papers.
I’m wondering if the story about the woman living in an AiDs housing building is true. The way that part of the story was written was always that she lived there, not that she has AIDS.
None of which can be used as evidence in this case, the woman and her back ground is not on trial.
Rubbish. Polticians of any description should reasonably be presumed guilty unless shown to be innocent.
The ideal rule of law has been so thoroughly corrupted and there are so many depraved sociopaths in high positions, that is manifestly unsafe to assume innocence when powerful individuals are involved.
The true law of the land is the “Golden Rule”. Those who have the gold make the rule.
Unions pimp out their members. For real, not metaphorically speaking.
That’s the real story here.
He isn’t OUR politician, so we cannot hold him to a higher standard.
You cannot just throw out the rule of law when it suits you. That’s what the Democrats do.
Let’s see: we have the Brawley case and Sharpton, The Duke, La Crosse case, now this case. Are there others with the same common features?
These two are a matched pair of jerks.
Chas. Krauthammer said their contact might have been “contractual”- I almost peed myself!
He's the only person who didn't fall for it.
I suspect his take on who was responsible is equally accurate.
Regardless of her past or character she was either raped or she was not. Let the evidence speak.
Agreed. More likely the lesson to be learned here is that the New World Order has spoken. They want that Euro Trash to run for President of France so they are springing him.
I thought it was revealed today that she’s been offering prostitution services along with room cleaning?
