A question for the Strauss-Kahn conspiracy theorists...

[brooklynite]

Just how did the police get an arrest warrant, absent compelling evidence? And before you give me "Mayor Bloomberg is a billionaire Republican", consider that the District Attorney is independently elected, and is Cyrus Vance, Jr., a Democrat and son of jimmy Carter's US Attorney General. And any arrest warrant for someone as important as the IMF Chief wouldn't have been requested without his direct approval.

1. Evidence-free speculation is ok on DU.

Like birthers (Obama or Palin) or truthers, they have a place on a political board.

Evidence-based opinion is better.

2. Oh, i see. Democrats are simply incapable of lying.

Great theory.

4. No, but I'll start assuming truth absent a reason to believe otherwise...

and because Strauss-Kahn seems to be changing his story...

3. Sarkozy is tight with US intelligence.

Simple, the CIA has clones of all DAs in the country, and Cyrus Vance Jr's clone was actually available at the time that the warrant had to be issued (the CIA uses clones for other business such as ballot stuffing boxes in foreign countries, so they're not always available). Sarkozy sent the CIA a message to send in the clone to make sure the warrant went through. Of course, the CIA also has clones for the police, which is why the timelines were misreported. The original timelines were the actual police and the other timelines were the clones "fixing" the whole thing as to make everything match up. The video itself was even doctored using a DSK clone.

And people wonder why the US has such high deficits. We're actually not at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they're a ruse to cover up the vast cloning program that we've undertaken that costs trillions of dollars.

And yes, Bin Laden was a clone. But that's another story for another day.
