Roy Moore’s Accusers’ Stories Getting Shaky, Moore Team Planning Lawsuit

[Frank Cannon]

@Frank Cannon
Who in the hell ever heard of eating dinner at five p.m...

Seats fill fast for the early bird special at Denny's.

I don't think the name is on any list. It doesn't make sense that it would be.  Think about it.  The assistant DA gets banned for cruising for teenagers.  Do you really think all parties involved didn't just agree to keep it quiet as long as there was no more trouble?  If his name was on a list, someone would have found it before now.

@CatherineofAragon

I have been a bouncer a fair bit, both at bars and as security for events... Somewhere, either behind the bar or in the back room, there is a banned list with photos of the folks. Events will have a printed sheet of folks that are not to be on the property. There is always a list.

Lol

I'll pick this up later...I have to go to a dinner with the inlaws and that entire bunch.  Who in the hell ever heard of eating dinner at five p.m...

My Dad got home from work between 4 and 4:30.  That's when we ate dinner.

Yep. Every joint that has an '86 list has a list. That way the banned don't slip in on the late shift (or with the morning crowd--we had two distinct groups, although they got along well at 'shift change').

And everyone was to bed by 6PM. Sounds delightful except in the summer when you had to paint all the windows black to sleep.

What a joke.  You people are high if you believe he’s actually going to follow through on this lawsuit.  He’ll have to go on record - something he’s refused to do - about his dating habits at the time.  Only one of two things can occur:  an admission of being a creeper or perjury.

Either way, it’d be documented and used against him when the seat is up for re-election in 2020.

Supper here is after dark, which might be 4:30 or it might be 10:30.

Yep. It all depends on the time of year.

I think it was Dad's mother who was in bed by sunset.  On wash day, she started the laundry at 5 am.  Of course, he did laundry for 8 people -- her, Grandpap and 6 kids -- and she didn't have an automatic washer and dryer.

Indeed, and that's why predatory accusers like to drop their bombshells during campaigns, because they know the candidates can't devote full-time work to preparing and winning a lawsuit without diverting attention from their campaign and lowering their own odds of winning.

Or at all.  Remember this from Trump....

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign."

"Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."

I don't think Moore's accusers, their attorneys and whoever is really behind all this nonsense expected Moore to fight back.  They probably thought he would just drop out as Herman Cain did.  The lawsuit might just be a threat.

[mountaineer]

Forgive me for being practical,  but this is one of the cases where it doesn't matter how big a liar she is - legally speaking.  Even if the falsely accused sues, how can he establish she lied? That's why I think we all should be a little less gleeful when someone we don't like is accused of sexual assault,  as we might be the next ones accused - and how will we defend ourselves?

Yes, I am an attorney (retired).

I wonder what those who believe those charging Moore are credible believe are the reasons they waited until before a key election, but after it was too late to force him off the ballot, before making them.

Coincidence probably. Surely they are 100% sincere in their quest for justice.

Does anyone really give a shit about Roy Moore anymore or do people just like bitching about stuff?

I do!  Quite a lot in fact.   Not him so much as the principles involved!

Well the die is cast. What more is there to argue about?

[edpc]

Given the matter at hand, you would also be correct had you typed ‘principals’ instead.

This should matter to everyone.  Moore is getting the shaft...and by extension, so are the voters in Alabama and for that matter, all of us. 

'But I am finding I'm repeating myself in multiple threads. Time for me to just shaddup for a while.

It needs to be said, and it bears repeating.

[Bigun]

On as many threads as necessary!

ABSOLUTELY!

Any one of us who boldly asserts our conservative beliefs could be falsely accused. You want to run for school board? Town council?
Watch out - someone could arise from the gutter to say you sexually assaulted her (or him).

Ain't that a God Awful sized bucket of the plain, unvarnished truth.
