Bill Clinton has to be squirming because Dominique Strauss-Kahn stirred up the past. The latest: French writer Tristane Banon is to file a lawsuit for attempted rape against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, her lawyer says. Tristane Banon evokes Juanita Broderick: Clinton Accuser's Story Aired By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, February 25, 1999; Page A15 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/broaddrick022599.htm Clinton escaped a criminal charge and Ms. Broderick never filed a lawsuit. Strauss-Kahn has already been charged with a crime, but it remains to be seen how he will fare in a NY Statess criminal court. I doubt if he will walk away from Tristane Banons double whammy in Frances courts a lawsuit and: Ms Banon's lawyer, David Koubbi, said on Monday that she had instructed him "to file a formal criminal complaint for attempted rape" against Mr Strauss-Kahn. He said the complaint would be filed on Tuesday. Parenthetically, Clintons sexual misadventures did not give socialism a black eye. But Strauss-Kahn is a world renowned socialist; so in a sense there are more people with a vested interest in saving his reputation. Had he been accused in a country other than the USA no one would have heard about it. Finally, heres the way criminal charges against the rich and the powerful work in this country. No money changes hands until all of the ducks are in line. Lawyers for wealthy, politically influential, individuals have to know beforehand that everybody of importance is comfortable with saving a dirt bag. The most important duck is no squawks from an attorney general, federal or state. Once those ducks are lined up everything else is designed to give the ducks cover: Discredit the accuser in every way, show the accuser to be a liar as well as paint the accused as the victim. After the dirt bag has been throughly whitewashed hes in line for sainthood. 4 July 2011 Last updated at 12:50 ET Strauss-Kahn to face Tristane Banon rape allegation French writer Tristane Banon is to file a lawsuit for attempted rape against former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, her lawyer says. Ms Banon accuses Mr Strauss-Kahn of trying to assault her as she tried to interview him in a Paris flat in 2003. Mr Strauss-Kahn said he would sue Ms Banon for making false statements. He was recently freed from house arrest in New York in a separate alleged case. He denies sexually assaulting a hotel maid in the US city on 14 May. It was shortly after Mr Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York that Ms Banon came forward to say that he had tried to assault her. She did not go to the police at the time, but did raise the allegation in a TV chat show in 2007, when Mr Strauss-Kahn's name was bleeped out. Ms Banon's lawyer, David Koubbi, said on Monday that she had instructed him "to file a formal criminal complaint for attempted rape" against Mr Strauss-Kahn. He said the complaint would be filed on Tuesday. In an interview with French newspaper L'Express, he said the alleged incident took place in February 2003, and not in 2002 as previously reported. 'Revolted' Ms Banon, 32, has claimed that during the interview, Mr Strauss-Kahn said he would only speak to her if she held his hand. According to her version of events she eventually had to fight him off as they wrestled on the floor and he tried to unhook her bra and undo her jeans. Mr Strauss-Kahn's French lawyers said on Monday they had been instructed to file a legal complaint against Ms Banon for making false statements about "imaginary" events. Mr Strauss-Kahn had been a leading contender to be the French Socialist Party's presidential candidate before his arrest in May. Concerns about the reliability of his accuser in New York have left that case reportedly in trouble, and led to speculation that he might return to French politics. However, on Monday Socialist Party spokesman Benoit Hamon said the idea that Mr Strauss-Kahn could now run for the presidency was "the weakest" of all possible scenarios. Ms Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret, herself a politician from Mr Strauss-Kahn's centre-left Socialist Party, said she had persuaded her daughter not to file a complaint at the time of the alleged incident. But Ms Mansouret has said she is "revolted" by the gleeful reaction of many men in France to news the case in New York might fail. Mr Koubbi told L'Express that he and his client had decided to press charges in mid-June, and that the timing of the decision was not linked to Mr Strauss-Kahn's US trial. He had previously said it would not be filed until "later", to avoid any competition with the New York case against Mr Strauss-Kahn. "These acts are extremely serious," Mr Koubbi said as he announced the legal action in France. "These events were combined with a violence that was absolutely remarkable for these kinds of cases." Ms Banon is the god-daughter of Mr Strauss-Kahn's second wife, Brigitte Guillemette. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14018727
Strauss-Kahn arrested by French police for complicity in pimping after he admits attending sex parties all over the world Dominique Strauss-Kahn will be held in custody until 'Wednesday at least' before bail can be considered Former International Monetary Fund chief denies knowing that the women he slept with were prostitutes Allegations emerge that married 62-year-old had relationships with at least ten call girls By Peter Allen Last updated at 1:19 PM on 21st February 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rrested-French-police-complicity-pimping.html Not even Bill Clinton could top this defense:
It is absolutely not a surprise, here, in France, the folder of his " activities " is huge. But, he is a super Zionist so he never had any trouble until now. I think this is a hit job. He must have displeased the big boys so they burned him as an example for the others,
