there's your why ... in the best imitation of Maxwell Smart, they lowered the Cone of Silence.
Al Bore, call Bill C. and get tips on how to beat a rap.
CNN just started the Anderson Cooper show whth this Breaking news...I almost fell out of my chair.
LMAO!!!!
Gropal Warming? Oh, it was all just a spelling error.
Dear Lord I ask: Is it a sin to feel joy as Algore goes down in flames?
Both of you have given me a much needed laugh this evening. Al won’t be ronery behind bars. Ask him how his second chakra is doing in about 6 months. HAH!
The Washington Post, AP, CBS all have it now. The story can no longer be ignored.
So just to sum up the left’s heroes:
clinton/gore= rapist/attempted rapist
Scott Ritter=Attempted child molester
“The pivot point will be consent.”
But if Al gets interviewed by the cops and tells them nothin’ happened. . . yet she has the stain on her black pants, then that’s a pretty good case right there.
If he says it was consensual, well, that’s a whole different game.
If she has any physical evidence it is not a weak case. Sure - even OJ can get off but what does that mean - she shouldn’t pursue justice? So I am cheering her on and hope she prevails. But we shall see how it goes. Having said that I have no delusions that high powered lawyers may get Algore off. (did I just say getting Algore off? - I think I am about to get sick)
If he says it was consensual, well, thats a whole different game.

That is what I expect. I think if he gets truly cornered on this he will tell a tale about a groupie that took advantage of him.
A defense attorney will make her look like a predatory prostitute, who saw an opportunity to take down the Great Man.
That is my guess. Trials are never sure things, but this is what I anticipate.
It would be a weak case as the issue which would define whether or not a crime occurred: consent.
In this case, stipulate some activity which garnered the DNA. After that, it is quite literally “he said, she said” verbal testimony.
Based on what is in front of us at this point, I hasten to add. That she received $500 from him when she left will be a lot for a defense attorney to use.
You don’t need PBARD as the standard for conviction. Preponderence of evidence is good enough.
*********************
Preponderance is the norm in civil cases. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt IS required for criminal convictions in the US.

No. “The Lord shall hold them in derision . . .”
Knowing the political bias of Portland and the police chief, I wouldn’t want to be the massage therapist.

That was my original point in post #3. My bet is that from a formal procedure standpoint this complaint is brushed off as insufficient evidence to warrant an arrest.
The fact she received $500 from him is evidence of guilt on the part of Algore. He tried to shut her up for $500 and it didn’t work. This will get ugly. It is not a weak case so I don’t accept your premise. Gore will have to get a team of high powered scum lawyers and spend a lot of money defending himself if this goes to trial.
Arrest the fat snake oil salesman. “Global Warming” my rear. What a liar and phony!!
Crazed sex poodle would have more of a withering effect.
LOL But maybe Algore really got turned on when she said that. He was thinking “I’m a beast...a Crazed Sex Poodle Beast”!
