Roy Moore's attorney holds news briefing

I haven't seen you express any skepticism about Moore - and there is a lot more justification for it there.

As if you’re objective about it lol.

If Moore is guilty he should resign. I’m just wary of getting sucked into convicting him prematurely just because the media is in a frenzy over it.
 
No, he stated the police also knew about it.

The reporters found these women because of the rumors around town about Roy Moore.

But, it would have been in the local newspapers 40 years ago when the ban occurred. How did a big outfit like WaPo hear about 40 year old rumors only recently? Just asking.
 
Moore ran for governor at least once if not twice. That’s big politics even in AL. And it ‘just now’ comes out he was stalking teens at the mall in the late 70’s—-and the cops were even aware of it.

There’s certainly room for skepticism in that.
It was local representation, now he is contending for the Senate and he is a controversial figure, different ball game.

Moore has had enemies in Alabama for decades who would have loved to ruin him if there was any substance to these sudden floods of remembrance.
 
How about this guy?

"Greg Legat, who worked at the mall in the 1980s, told Bethea that he remembers Moore was banned from the shopping center starting around 1979. Legat recalled that the mall was often “filled” with unchaperoned teens.

A local police officer, J.D. Thomas, reportedly often asked Legat to keep an eye out for Moore. ”‘If you see Moore here, tell me. I’ll take care of him,’” Legat remembers Thomas telling him, according to The New Yorker."

Thank-you. Now we're getting somewhere.
So, now it begs the question. Were the police actively trying to cover for him? Trying to keep him "off the radar"? Maybe Moore was slipping them a few bucks to keep this out of the local newspaper?

Now that's a stretch.
 
"On 10 November 2017, the disreputable web site GatewayPundit.com reported — without any evidence whatsoever beyond a single anonymous Twitter account — that investigative journalists from the Washington Post had paid a woman to go on the record and accuse Roy Moore, a Republican candidate running to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ vacant U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, of sexually abusing her when she was 14 years old...

GatewayPundit.com reported (in an article bearing the oddly-worded headline “Report: Alabama Woman Claims Reporter Offered Her $1000s to Accuse Roy Moore of Sexual Abuse?”) Indeed it would be big news — except for the inconvenient fact that it was not true and thus was not “HUGE.”

While the Washington Post‘s story was based upon interviews with no fewer than thirty sources, the only source cited by GatewayPundit.com was hearsay from a questionable Twitter account bearing the handle @umpire43, which belonged to someone going by “Doug Lewis #MAGA” who claimed (again, with no sources offered other than a vague “friend of my wife’s”) that :

A family friend who lives in Alabama just told my wife that a WAPO reporter named Beth offered her 1000$ to accuse Roy Moore????

In follow-up tweets, “Doug” stated the a family friend (purportedly named “Jean”, but of course with no last name provided) recorded the conversation in which “Beth” (probably Washington Post journalist Beth Reinhard, who co-wrote the Moore report) offered a source money to accuse Moore of sexual improprieties. The tape of that conversation was supposedly turned over to law enforcement, according to “Doug.”

We called the Etowah County district attorney’s office to check whether any such allegations had been brought to their attention, but as of yet we haven’t received a response.
Notably, however, the accusatory tweets from the “Doug Lewis #MAGA” were deleted, and then, a few hours later, the entire account was deleted as well.

The @umpire43 account was launched in 2011, and as of 11 November 2017 it had tweeted 17,000 messages to 18,300 followers. On 13 November 2017, the account was temporarily set to private, and when it was made public again, its owner had deleted all but fifty posts — including the ones claiming that women had been paid off to accuse Moore.

According to The Daily Beast, “Doug Lewis” was a false identity co-opted from a real Navy veteran who died in 2007."

Maybe they finally realized they don't want another unethical corrupt rightie in the Senate.

On May 6, 2016, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) forwarded a list of six charges of ethical violations by Moore to the Alabama Court of the Judiciary.[SUP][53][/SUP] Moore was suspended from the Alabama Supreme Court pending trial and ruling. Moore faced removal from office over the charges, which were more serious than those which removed him from office in 2003.[SUP][54][/SUP][SUP][55][/SUP] The JIC's complaint charged Moore with violating the Alabama Canon of Judicial Ethics by:[SUP][53][/SUP]

  1. disregarding a federal injunction.
  2. demonstrated unwillingness to follow clear law.
  3. abuse of administrative authority.
  4. substituting his judgment for the judgement of the entire Alabama Supreme Court, including failure to abstain from public comment about a pending proceeding in his own court.
  5. interference with legal process and remedies in the United States District Court and/or Alabama Supreme Court related to proceedings in which Alabama probate judges were involved.
  6. failure to recuse himself from pending proceedings in the Alabama Supreme Court after making public comment and placing his impartiality into question.
 
That’s what I can’t get past.

The timing seems just a little too convenient for certain parties.

It's hilarious that brain-dead leftists are seriously saying that local politicians don't have local media and political enemies on their ass constantly looking for stories like this.

The timing is he is running for the Senate, big city reporters come to town and do a lot of digging, that is the timing and if you want to say it’s politically motivated, then say it. It happens to a lot of candidates, good investigative reporters find stories.
