And how much was the cousin paid by the Trump campaign?

This story was on the local news radio in the Los Angeles area yesterday. According to that story, this witness is a trained social worker who has experience with sexual assault victims.

“Witness”? How about “Contemporaneous confidant”? I think a reasonable person would infer using the word witness implies the social worker actually saw the sexual assault, which she didn’t.

And Bill Cosby is innocent too…how many fairy tales do His Orangeness’ supporters buy in to? I swear, I’m waiting for him to announce that the Sun revolves around the flat Earth. Gaaaah, when will this be over??

Maybe he’ll announce plans for a tremendous Trumpship to take his supporters to start a liberty-loving country on Mars. Or, perhaps more likely, he’ll offer them chances to buy shares in the Trumpship (buy now before it’s banned!), take their money, and then give them a special Kool-Aid recipe to prep for the flight.

I’m glad there’s someone to back up the victim’s account. I’m sure Trump will now find some shady American TV leech to say they saw her going after Trump first.

All the stories were vetted to be sure the victims had told other people. For one victim the damn family was sitting right there. And the assailant has bragged about doing it. Case fucking closed.

That said, I wasn’t there and I’m only absolutely sure of one thing—this is going to be an awkward Thanksgiving for the Zervos clan.

Kissing cousins they undoubtedly will not be.

Of course they’re not kissing cousins—the name isn’t Giuliani!

You must sell timeshares.

Not so sure about that…

Most of my cousins don’t talk to each other…blood doesn’t guarantee friendship. In some cases it leads to active feuding and plenty of jealousy. Which might be the case here.

Thank you, was just going to post that!

The People mag’s writer also has a contemporaneous confidant, who was her mentor back in her journalism school days.

Kagan was on The Apprentice?

I think I heard he was let go from a family-owned restaurant. I do realize not all families are conflict-free. : ) But the conflicts usually don’t involve geopolitically significant sex scandals. It’s more like someone sold someone else a used car and it turned out to need expensive engine work three months later and the seller refused to give the buyer some cash to help out and it turned into a thing.

Those stories are more interesting when they involve a table saw or a washing machine. Dental hijinks and non-disclosure of some sort of STD add to the intrigue.

Hmm. Male cousin whom you might not get along with, social worker trained in working with sexual assault victims. Which one are you going to tell about being assaulted?

Yes. Very poor choice of words there. Which will just open the gates for some right-wing attempts to deflect the main point.
