11/16/2017 7:59am Franken’s Military Escort officer responds. https://twitter.com/TheTabbasco/status/931190006324056064
Strange, I was Al Frankin’s Escort officer...I don’t remember any of this except there was a lot of good natured joking in a crowded room...I was with him the entire time on base…
He had an escort on every base during waking hours...I even stayed with him in the bathroom...If I saw anything that was inappropriate, it was my job to report it...BTW I am an independent, who did Leeanne vote for???
11/16/2017 Franken issues a formal apology denies the kiss and says the photo was supposed to be funny and he is sorry about it. Asks for an Ethics investigation on himself.
11/16/2017 Tweeden says "The ethics investigation — if that's what Mitch McConnell wants to do — I'm not calling for that . . . I'm not demanding any of that," Tweeden said.”
“
11/16/2017 On his radio show Hannity says to Tweeden "I remember you showing me that photo years ago "
Questions.
- The Military Escort says Franken was never alone. How did Franken get Tweeden alone?
- The picture shows NO contact with Tweeden why does she call it groping?
- Who took the picture?
- When did Tweeden show that picture to Hannity?
- Why didn’t Tweeden or Hannity bring the picture up before?
- Why didn’t Tweeden say anything at all about anything during Franken’s very close election in 2008?
- Why doesn’t Tweeden want an investigation while Franken does?
- How did Roger Stone learn about this a day before it happened?
