Strauss-Kahn was set up, French say

When news broke that Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York on criminal sex charges, theories that the IMF chief had been set up began circulating in France.

By Joseph BAMAT / Sébastian SEIBT (text)

In the immediate aftermath of Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s dramatic arrest, the majority of French people were inclined to believe that the managing director of the International Monetary Fund was the victim of a conspiracy, an opinion poll revealed on Wednesday.

The survey, conducted by French polling agency CSA after New York City police charged Strauss-Kahn with sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a hotel maid in a luxury hotel, found that 57 percent of people interviewed thought he was set up. Just 32 percent of people thought he was not the victim of a plot and a further 11 percent had no opinion.

Oh come on, just because Obama wants to install his own White House Aide Lipton in the top IMF spot, you think Dominique was set up?

Yeah and OJ is going to look for the real killer after he gets out of jail.”””

The Nevada Supreme Court denied O J any getting out of jail card or a retrial just yesterday.

He is Lovelock, in the N Nevada desert & when we go to Winnemucca yearly, we all flip him the bird as we drive by the prison. I sincerely hope he dies there.

“There is no good resolution to this one.”

A good resolution would be for this socialist douche bag to be convicted and sent to prison, forever ruining his career and pi**ing off the 57% of the French who think this was a set up. I mean really, who cares what they think? They are French idiots.

"An old, rich French guy who likes anal sex?"

Oral sex. He is a rapist not a homosexual.

"...could it be he isn't pleased with them taking over France ...."

ha! If so he would be the first socialist in history not to be overjoyed that Muslims are ruining Europe.

“Look at that old bastid. Do you really believe this 62 year old Frog, could sodomise a 32 year old African Woman without her consent?”

She would heave beat his butt and handed it back to him.

She may have. He tried to get her underwear off but was unsuccessful. Forced oral sex was the best he could manage.

If this scandal was engineered, I would suspect some interested party who wanted to reduce or eliminate the current head of the IMF - and the parties that got him to that position - from influence in picking his successor, and that they wanted his successor to be chosen sooner than would have been the case waiting for the end of his term. As much as non-European capitals have been pushing for a non-European head at the IMF, any culprits may have been from a nation outside Europe. Just conspiracy guessing.

How many days was he there?? How many days did she clean his room? Sure might be a lot of opportunity to swoop up plenty of DNA. Hair ...dirty sheets (yuk)....pillow cases...tooth brush (saliva)

They were running in the hall??? There are security cameras all over the place.

So he decided to jump her even though he had a luncheon engagement with his daughter.

i agree she could have “beat his but”.
and normally i would agree completely.
(you write good stuff !)
but, while i think false accusations are MUCH more common, than most people realize, this wasn’t an American girl.
this was a lady who grew up in Africa.
(and a Muslima. while the terrorists sure like their porn and sex, Muslim women are not known for being promiscuous. ...i had a Muslim girlfriend who was terrified even at the idea of being seen in a public Chucky Cheese with me and my son...)
so sadly, women in many countries, learn not to resist...
and this maid had what is a great job for her,
to support her and her child.
so who knows what ran threw her mind, in the immediate shock of being attacked ?
i believe she didn’t report it, until after she got home, and probably had people encourage her to report it.
(and it’s quite possible, he did the same to other maids, who were too afraid to report it at all.)

Right, then what was his sperm doing in her butt and why was she bleeding?

According to a report I saw, it was in her mouth, and she spit it out. That's why the NYPD carried away a generous chunk of $3000/night carpeting.
