Sibel Edmonds lies.

[cali]

In her accusation against Jan Schakowsky, Edmonds states that Schakowsky was targeted by some shadowy Turks after her mother's death sometime in 2000. She claims that Schakowsky's townhouse was bugged.

"Edmonds says in the Giraldi interview that "in 2000 ... Turkish agents started gathering information on her, and they found out that she was bisexual." A female Turkish agent is said to have "struck up a relationship with her," and then, following the death of Schakowsky's mother, the woman is said to have attended the funeral "hoping to exploit her vulnerability."

"They later were intimate in Schakowsky's townhouse," Edmonds tells Giraldi, "which had been set up with recording devices and hidden cameras."

Oops. Schakowsky's mother died in 1987. And Schakowsky doesn't own a townhouse.

From Rep. Schakowsky's office:

"From the start, the fantasy is riddled with factual errors. It claims that an "intimate" relationship between a fictional female Turkish spy and the congresswoman began at the funeral of the congresswoman's mother after 2000, however, Rep. Schakowsky's mother died thirteen years earlier in 1987.

Furthermore, it is alleged that the "relationship" occurred in the congresswoman's bugged town house even though she has never owned or lived in a town house in her life. Congresswoman Schakowsky shares a small apartment with her husband in a busy Washington, DC apartment building and owns a single-family home in Illinois."

Sibel's claim that Schakowsky was targeted at her mother's funeral is apparently completely fabricated. Why should I believe the rest of the story?
