Reply #33: There is no evidence that Dean turned a blind eye to abuse [View All]

There is no evidence that Dean turned a blind eye to abuse WHATSOEVER.

a careful reading of the facts shows this.


FIRST - Allegations which the Trooper's lawyer knew about would NOT have been told to Dean in all liklihood. They may very well have been confidential communications and there is NO REASON that the lawyer would have or should have told Dean before asking him to do an affidavit.

Second - If DEAN was a WITNESS to the care the Trooper had given to his children, he would have been subject to a SUBPOENA to testify; so his offering of an affidavit at the request of the trooper's lawyer is NOT that unusual. There is no evidence whatasoever that Dean KNEW anything about the allegations raised in the case BECAUSE THE WIFE HAD NEVER BEFORE FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST HER HUSBAND!. How could Dean POSSIBLY have known ANYTHING (unless the trooper had confided in him -- and there is no evidence of that)?

a few other points need to be made:

1. The lawyer for the allegedly abused wife is a Dean supporter. I seriously doubt if he would be if this was an agregious situation where Dean had knowingly condoned the abuse of his client.

2. The wife NEVER filed criminal charges against her husband or even made any complaint and these allegations arose in a divorce/custody case and only became publicly known more than THREE YEARS after they supposedly occurred (the STATUTE of limitations had run out and NO prosecution ever took place).

3. Dean had no reason to have ANY knowledge of the supposed abuse until well after it allegedly occurred and AFTER he filed his affidavit. There is no evidnec still that he knew anything about any abuse while it was occurring or until possibly many YEARS afterward.

4. Are YOU responsible for the crimes or abuses of YOUR coworkers which you are not even aware of? If asked to be a witness for a coworker who you believe is a good father/mother based on your observations of their interaction with their kids would you do so if you had no knowledge of abuse?

This is all a HUGE red herring,

This was almost 7 years ago and it involves ONE affidavit Dean signed for the guy whose job was to protect him - and whom he probably really liked and trusted.

There is NO - NONE - ZERO indication that Dean did ANYTHING wrong.

This story was planted to hurt Dean's credibility with women.

Meanwhile men who actually KILLED or helped kill innocent women and children are benefitting from it politically. (Thoise who created this war and those who ran or fought other wars in which innocent civilians were killed)

This is slimeball journalism at its worse.

I will say this though -- Unless and until there is some ACTUAL EVIDENCE that Dean knew ANYTHING about actual abuse by this gut, this is a TOTAL NONSTORY.

I think it id fair to ask the questions -- but the way it is being presented is DIRTY and spun really nastily with NOTHING to base a story of any importance on IMHO.
