Do you believe that Jamie Leigh Jones and Juanita Broadderick are equally credible?
I don't know. I think Jamie's allegations shouldbe treated at least a fraction as seriously as Juanita's were by investigators. It is my understanding Jones has actual evidence and witnesses who are willing to testify so I guess that makes her claims more credible. Jones came out immediately. While it is not unusual for rape victims to remian silent as they fear retribution and shame it seems strange to see the profile and possibility for retibution to grow so staggering and see the victim more willing to talk. Maybe she was just trying to save us all. But I digress, Juanita got here investigation. Jamie deserves hers. Why do you not feel Jamie deserves the same treatment?
Do you think Bill Clinton was investigated to the degree that the KBR guys will be investigated?
It is absolutely inconceivable the KBR guys will be investiage to the extent Clinton was. No one will probably ever be again.
Did Juanita Broadderick try to make money from the story? Did she write a book? (It would have been a guaranteed money maker. I would have purchased it.)
I suppose she didn't write a book. Don't really know. But I do know Paula Jones profitted significantly from accusing Clinton. Those of us old enough remember the nose job, makeover, wardrobe, stipends and general payola she got from the GOP at the time. It was pretty repulsive. I have always assumed Brodrick received similar compensation.
Also, Brodrick might have sued Clinton if authorities found her claims to be legitimate. I assume she would have but she didn't really have any chance of winning so she didn't. Do you really find it hard to imagine some of Scaife or someones money ended up in her pocket?
Do you think Jamie Leigh Jones will try to make money in a lawsuit?
I hope she does. The idea the US will set up a contract where investigations of rape can not even be investigated is criminal and should be remedied through tort. I hope Dawn Leamon does too. And Mary Beth Kineston. Why should Brodrick and Jones get the benefit of civil suits and criminal investigation and these women be denied? If a reasonable investigation ensues and all the witnesses and evidence are not enough to convict then I suppose the civil suits will go away too.
Oh, and does arguing that these girls might sue discredit thier claim? So we can totally throw Paula Jones' claims out now right?
Did the accuser of Kobe Bryant try to make money in a lawsuit?
Yes. So did Paula Jones. Jones lost. Clinton is innocent.
I have but two questions for you, Ken.
Should we investigate the alleged rapes of Jamie Leigh Jones, Dawn Leamon, Mary Beth Kineston and any other women who come forward?
If evidence of rape is found, should the accused face legal consequences?
Or do these principles only apply to people who accuse your enemies of rape. Remember, I have no problem giving Brodrick or Jones investigations and trials. Its not my fault Clinton was found innocent.
