Moore Accusers Lawyer Says Shell Hand Over Yearbook To Congress

Source: Talking Points Memo

By NICOLE LAFOND Published NOVEMBER 16, 2017 9:40 AM

After lawyers for Alabama Senate GOP Candidate Roy Moore’ held a press conference requesting the yearbook of a woman who accused Moore of sexual assault — she claims Moore signed her yearbook when she was in high school — the woman’s lawyer said she would hand it over.

But to Congress, not the Moore campaign.

Beverly Young Nelson, the woman who said Moore sexually assaulted her in his car when she was 16, and her attorney Gloria Allred sent a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee requesting a hearing so that both Nelson and Moore could testify under oath, Allred said on CNN Wednesday night.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Moore’s lawyers requested Nelson’s yearbook so they could have a handwriting expert examine the signature. Allred said she would be happy to oblige if it were an “independent expert” who could examine it during a hearing.

I was just listening to MSNBC snd they showed his attorney asking for the yearbook(s). Wonder how they will spin this offer? Will it be, we don't have time for this, am running for Senate? Will it be, OK, but we pick the "expert"? Will it be, this is a sham and we refuse to dignify it, despite asking for the yearbook in a public statement? Or, OK we'll do this, after the election?

Maybe I'm wrong, but think this is total deflection, just like drumpf does, and he will try to threaten and bully retractions or bluster his way into the Senate?

More's Attorney/Campaign manager didn't "ask" for the year book. He DEMANDED it. Meanwhile, Moore filed no suit. And I don't expect he will. because as soon as he does, the discovery and depositions will begin.

He knows he's a pedophile and won't let it be proven in court.

They set up their own trap. I would leap at this chance.

Allred just get a renowned expert and a writing sample.
