16. Her story sounds like bullshit
Thu Aug 1, 2013, 06:12 PM
Aug 2013

She claims it took weeks after the alleged Google searches for LE to come bounding in. She herself admits she doesn't know why they came, she's just speculating it was the searches.

That LE was at her home - probably true
That LE acted on a tip rather than Google searches - possibly
That her husband may have lied to her - possibly
That her son may have lied to her - possibly

That she's trying to get out in front of something by creating a media stir - oh hells yeah!

wow. you didn't lose any time demonizing her, did you? cali Aug 2013 #1
Linking to her own tweet and using her own words is demonizing her? Cali_Democrat Aug 2013 #3
