Not amazing, really, but--shall we say, breathlessly brazen?
Friends of alleged hotel sex fiend Dominique Strauss-Kahn secretly contacted the accusing maid's impoverished family, offering them money to make the case go away since they can't reach her in protective custody, The Post has learned.
The woman, who says she was sexually assaulted by the disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund, has an extended family in the former French colony of Guinea in West Africa, well out of reach of the Manhattan DA's Office.
"They already talked with her family," a French businesswoman with close ties to Strauss-Kahn and his family told The Post. "For sure, it's going to end up on a quiet note."
Large numbers being bandied about, don't-cha-know. Seven figures, bubbah! But how do deliver a seven-figure bribe to a remote African village with no electricity?
There will be demands for change of venue, to Arkansas, perhaps. Reasoning is, they may not like French people much there, but they really hate African people.
If convicted, endless appeals.
And the stories about the maid will become more scurrilous.
She has a child, and she'll hear that DSK and his Socialist colleagues have very very very long memories...will the DA be around to protect them in 5/10/20 years, hmmm?
Eventually, members of family back in the village may begin departing this vale of tears.
Some quiet contributions to 'charities' of the governor, and a quiet pardon in the final hours of his term.
OS can already hear the Gulfstream warming up on the tarmac in New Jersey.
Let us sincerely hope OS is dead wrong on this.
