R.I.P. Al Franken's Political Career (2009-2017), 7/22/19: Jane Mayer reports railroading!

[MR. Conclusion]

In the tumultuous aftermath of Leeann Tweeden’s accusations against Al Franken during a 2006 USO trip to Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan, new photos and videos have emerged that cast doubt on her account.

During the very same USO tour in question, Tweeden can be seen blatantly groping the backside of a male performer and kissing another.

While the details surrounding the rest of Tweeden’s interactions on this tour are still unclear, the images and videos of a woman who is not nearly as prim and puritanical as she has let on are striking, to say the least.

This USO tour is not the only time that Tweeden has put her sexually aggressive behavior on display. At one point, she even did so with the iconic, late Robin Williams.







It should also be noted that Tweeden just signed a book deal with Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which has also inked deals with prominent conservative voices, including Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon, and the Mercers.

As evidence has begun to spread that perhaps Tweeden had a political agenda behind her decision to name Franken, a growing movement of support has coalesced behind the Minnesota Senator.



If it is revealed that she perverted the important #MeToo campaign to launch a smear job on a Senator who has been a vital advocate for women, it would be a major blow to victims of sexual harassment and assault across the country.

The Rest Of The Photos And Videos From Franken And Tweeden's USO Tour Just Emerged

John Oliver has a breakdown on the messaging tactics used by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group to push a conservative narrative. If she's connected to them, then this accusation is most likely a choreographed political stunt.

Here's the video:

Hours before the allegations against Sen. Al Franken became public Thursday, Trump ally Roger Stone seemed to know they were coming.

A Twitter account linked to the former Trump adviser posted a quote from Stone in the early hours Thursday morning that suggested he expected allegations involving the Minnesota Democrat to go public.

QUOTE: Roger Stone says it's Al Franken's "time in the barrel". Franken next in long list of Democrats to be accused of "grabby" behavior.

In a statement provided to CBS News on Friday, the radio station where Tweeden works and which published her story released a statement.

"In the 11 years since Al Franken forcibly kissed and groped Leeann Tweeden, she has never kept it secret. She has spoken about it to friends, family and co-workers. It was her decision to go public, and both the KABC News Department and all of us at TalkRadio 790 KABC were proud to support her," it said. "A very small group of us discussed the best day to come forward, taking into account primarily when Leeann felt ready to do so. Once that decision was reached, we tipped off some of our news partners so they could prepare to cover what we knew was a very significant story. This was done starting in the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov 15th."

Roger Stone appears to have known about Al Franken allegations before they went public

You still believe her version of the events



This is a political hit job bro.

And he'd probably be completely off the hook if he didn't allow that photo while she was sleeping. He can say it was a joke but what liberals do you know that laugh at stuff like that? That's dude bro humor.

Plenty, being liberal doesn't mean your humor can't be low brow

Most content producers in Hollywood are "liberal".

The Franken photo may have been doctored too.

Twitter suspends three more accounts tied to Roger Stone — as questions about credibility of LeeAnn Tweeden’s Franken claims emerge

He def did that, but it appears the metadata of the photo was changed.

This was an obvious hit just like the establishment is trying to, and succeeding at, taking out Roy Moore. But just like I said in the Moore thread, that fact this was politically engineered does not make them less guilty. It's almost like Stone and Bannon are retaliating against the McConnell/McCain crowd here. Sex abuse should not be a political football, but this is America.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Yep it is but honestly both sides are engaging in using women to take down the other side...

Post examples of this from the left

I agree completely.
