Regardless, what happened in that Sofitel hotel room between him and the maid has been called into question. Kahn's defense team admits they had sex, but they insist it was consensual (how would you like to face your wife with that defense? "Honest honey, I'm not a rapist! It was consensual!")
Europeans smelled a setup from the start, and it looks like they were right. First the phone call from the alleged victim to her criminal boyfriend, in immigration lockup, where she told him, "Don’t worry, this guy has a lot of money. I know what I’m doing,"
Prosecutors then discovered...
...she had lied about her immigration, about being gang raped in Guinea, about her experiences in her homeland and about her finances, according to two law enforcement officials. She had been linked to people suspected of crimes. She changed her account of what she did immediately after the encounter with Mr. Strauss-Kahn.She lied to gain asylum in this country:
The housekeeper also told investigators that she had been gang raped in Guinea.
She described soldiers destroying the home where she lived with her husband, and said they were both beaten because of their opposition to the regime. She said her husband died in jail.
But then, in a subsequent interview with Manhattan prosecutors, she said the story was false, one she had been urged to tell by a man.She lied about her financial status to scam benefits from the government:
In recent weeks, investigators collected bank records showing deposits of thousands of dollars in Arizona, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania to an account in her name.So regardless of whether she attempted to shakedown DSK, she has definitely scammed the United States of America and We the People. We should deport her back to Guinea.
The woman had repeatedly said that the Sofitel was her only source of income.
The district attorney’s office said the woman had lied about her income to maintain her public housing, and had claimed a friend’s child as her own dependent to increase her tax refund.
Uncle Stupid's Gonna Take Care of You...
Reading through this chain of fraud and lies, I see a common thread: Stupid immigration policies that let in cigarette bandits, dope peddlers, welfare cheats and devout Muslim prostitutes. We let people in because they know how to concoct a good heartsob story, and we're a soft touch. Too many "victims" then use their privileged status in The Land of The Free and Home of the Brave to conduct criminal activities.
This is why immigration, and even asylum, should be conditional, for five to ten years. Anything more than a traffic ticket and you're out. This woman should be stripped of any status we granted her and deported back to Guinea.
