The "I know what I'm doing" phone call with one of her confederates.
The antics of her sleaze-ball lawyers.
The filing of a damage suit before the facts had been brought out at
trial.
I had initially thought (based on the facts that the first public
report came from a UMP activist who happened to be at the hotel; that
the Sofitel management, which has close UMP connections, informed the
Elysée before the NY Police had made a public announcement despite the
fact that they had been told not to inform anyone prematurely; and on
the recent "nuclear war" threat if DSK contemplated a presidential
candidacy that Cambedelis revealed within hours of the arrest) that it
was a plot by Sarkozy using Diallo as agent. But the sheer
amateurishness of the frame-up has convinced me that it was almost
certainly your garden-variety (à la Polanski) extortion scheme.
