A smiling Dominique Strauss-Kahn was freed with no bail Friday after a hearing where prosecutors said they would not drop attempted rape charges against the French bigwig.
The accused sexual predator, due back in court July 18, walked out of court with his biggest legal victory since his May 14 arrest for assaulting a midtown Manhattan hotel maid.
With sources saying the case was disappearing amid a series of lies by the accuser, prosecutors acknowledged their witness had "substantial credibility issues."

Politix is such a dirty bizzness.
He needs to go get more bearer bonds.
They stripped him down. Not a mark on him.
So she had gloves on, you say??
You don't wear gloves on your teeth.

If I heard right, the accuser was discussing this in advance with a prisoner on Riker’s Island and it was a recorded conversation.
If he is innocent, does he have a case to sue for expenses and lost income?
If he is innocent, the Riker’s conspirator and the accuser should face charges and after doing her time she should be deported.
The French media was critical of him being frog-marched (no pun intended) to his arraignment. I agree. Being manacled and frog-marched mocks the concept of presumption of innocence. Whether you’re head of the IMF or a previously-convicted petty thief, we don’t need to manacle and frog-march you to an arraignment unless you’ve demonstrated a propensity to break and run.
I have heard that this frog-marching is a legacy of Mr Guiliani.
The conversation took place after the assault.
Christine Bankn, DSK’s French victim now has come out with the missing chapter in her book. It describes an almost identical attack.
The goals were achieved. Strauss Kahn is out of contention in the French Presidential race, He’s out at the IMF. The New IMF head is another Chicago connection.
Don’t expect the media to ask any questions.
Rich, entitled, immoral Gov’t apparatchick Socialist politico meets money-laundering muslim, illegal-immigrant, with drug-smuggling fiancee looking for a big lawsuit score.
It sort of sums up the condition of USA these days, doesn’t it?
Strange the replacement I hear is from..........wait for it......CHICAGO??? Is this true?
The sanctimonious attitude of Hillary Clinton early in this situation stands out to me.
Its no coincidence that this case begins to fall apart on the Friday going into a holiday weekend.
The political leaders want to hide their embarrassment, shame etc.
French politics is being rocked again and Sarkozy is on the ropes as it is.
He was supposed to have been attacked yesterday, I remember that happening to Burlesconi in Italy in recent times when his popularity was sagging.
Now this DSK thing and the suspicions of conspiracy will be dumped on Sarkozy but perhaps they should be dumped on Americans or Internationalists.....
Is Mike Nifong working for NY now?
we won’t see this guy again until he returns as President of France with full diplomatic immunity
Yep!
At this point,he is no longer electable.As for his guilt or his innocence,well the status of the accuser doesn’t change what he did or didn’t do to her.
The left has to be truly desperate for putting their hopes on this man.
The luxury-hotel maid who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Dominique Strauss-Kahn was found by a supervisor in a hallway where she hid after escaping from the former International Monetary Fund director's room. Hotel workers described her as traumatized, having difficulty speaking, and immediately concerned about pressing charges and losing her job, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
The maid also repeatedly spit on the walls and floors of the suite in front of her hotel colleagues as she alleged that Strauss-Kahn locked her in his room and forced her into oral sex acts. That saliva is being tested for DNA markers and could become a crucial piece of evidence in the case, the sources said.
Sounds like a case of a dirtbag raping a grifter. Neither character is sympathetic. I am waiting for our resident rapist Bill Clinton’s name to pop up somewhere in the mix.
no tin foil for this one.........interesting huh?
