Breaking: Franken pic metadata proves Tweeden is LYING [View all]

Here's what we know/can prove without a doubt.
1. Mrs. Tweeden submitted this file to her station and had it inserted into her article accusing Mr. Franken.

2. Her allegation about the photo is that it was taken without her knowledge on Christmas Eve 2006 during a 36 hour flight home at the end of the tour is fucking FALSE

The photo has metadata stating it was a .jpg created with a Nikon D2H camera (the kind used by Combat Camera, USO photogs). The jpg was created on 12/21/06 at 17:19 PM (Assuming PST).

Also the soldier who claims to have been Frankens security escort the entire time, and even in the bathroom says she’s lying!

Didnt Franken admit that it happened? RandySF Nov 2017 #2
You can give it a read... tonedevil Nov 2017 #5
That statement is what separates us from them, willing to admit our mistakes, apologize, and grow Canoe52 Nov 2017 #32
He did say that he doesn't remember things like the kiss the same that she does. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #46
This is how I saw it too sarah FAILIN Nov 2017 #59
Look at how their faces are turned as well. maddiemom Nov 2017 #70
Yep. It is a fake kiss. Maybe because she complained Alice11111 Nov 2017 #129
Somewhere I read Ms. Tweeden accepted Franken's apology... do I have that right? InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #151
Why is that a factor? Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #153
That's quite a leap there... but, in any case, an apology may be... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #157
Your post said Tweeden accepting it was relevant. Not the apology itself. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #167
Hell....she accepted it again, openly, on the View... Hulk Nov 2017 #162
Yes, good question!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #164
Everybody calm the fuck down -- Franken has got this. rocktivity Nov 2017 #84
I'm wondering if the apology may be kind of an attempt to temporarily appease her and her alt-right brewens Nov 2017 #88
Is she alt right??? Is she showed it to Hannity, I'm suspicious. Alice11111 Nov 2017 #131
she got a fat contract from Sinclair Broadcasting azureblue Nov 2017 #140
Not coincidence. Thx for info. Alice11111 Nov 2017 #141
Quid pro quo Rollo Nov 2017 #169
or maybe she and Roger Stone suddenly realized azureblue Nov 2017 #139
He said he remembers the kiss differently Heather MC Nov 2017 #73
Yes, because we must admit to things how THEY (pretend) to see it as LiberalLovinLug Nov 2017 #121

I don't believe you are pretending to grope Al's junk right now. pangaia Nov 2017 #54
Probably this is one reason Franken wants an investigation. BigmanPigman Nov 2017 #6
It will also create pressure to investigate drumpf The Blue Flower Nov 2017 #10
Does Al's destroying Jeff Sessions have anything to do with this? maddiemom Nov 2017 #18
Yes. Period. zentrum Nov 2017 #22

Yep. yardwork Nov 2017 #39

Its brilliant -Tweeden, Stone, hannity goodboy Nov 2017 #12
Precisely! trof Nov 2017 #13
Thats called getting ahead of the story. alfredo Nov 2017 #21
The question remains.... bhusar Nov 2017 #7
Has she said that she doesn't want an investigation? yardwork Nov 2017 #40
In her response she did bhusar Nov 2017 #63
Probably because more pics will come out like this one womanofthehills Nov 2017 #154
So Franken is apologizing for a picture that never happened. former9thward Nov 2017 #8
No. Read carefully what he said. goodboy Nov 2017 #14
That could be chalked up to faulty memory on her part. alfredo Nov 2017 #23
I don't think so. She says she's had the photo all along. yardwork Nov 2017 #42
Since we are parsing statements, does anyone else find it a bit odd that the alleged security escort Marengo Nov 2017 #71
The escort was talking about the forced kiss Tweeden claimed took place during a rehearsal, trc Nov 2017 #78
In that context, the statement makes sense. It seems others on DU were suggesting the comments Marengo Nov 2017 #86
I do not believe the "escort" has been identified...or proven to exist beyond some twitter posts. trc Nov 2017 #87
That sounds like a job for a journalist. liberal_patriot_md Nov 2017 #143
If it was staged, Franken would have said just that. He didn't. Because it wasn't. 7962 Nov 2017 #96
What are you talking about? He apologized for participating in a gag photo of poor taste. brush Nov 2017 #29
Exactly. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #34
What is interesting is that she had a photo of it too. LiberalFighter Nov 2017 #60
Exactly dae Nov 2017 #104
But we took ours right down...Weinstein, Spacey Alice11111 Nov 2017 #142
He's apologizing for an uncouth, disrespectful punk pic...but not groping. Honeycombe8 Nov 2017 #155
the picture might have happened but sounds like it was doctored to make it look even worse womanofthehills Nov 2017 #159
I thought the more damaging allegation ClarendonDem Nov 2017 #9
Yeah and if shes willing to lie about the pic goodboy Nov 2017 #15
I do believe she said this was a groping and it certainly isn't Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #16
Awww---I get it. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #35
This is the last time I'm going to say it. moriah Nov 2017 #17
The metadata means jack shit. Calista241 Nov 2017 #19
Whats your game here? NewsCenter28 Nov 2017 #25
I didn't post pro trump jack shit. Calista241 Nov 2017 #26
Ok I trust ya NewsCenter28 Nov 2017 #30
Do some critical thinking. Her claim that he groped her in the photo is false. He is not touching... brush Nov 2017 #51
Most of us felt the same way. Except I thought Kasich was the most formidable. 7962 Nov 2017 #98

Wasn't there a topic here earlier about her posing for playboy and some images? keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #36
That doesn't have anything to do with anything. Iggo Nov 2017 #74
How do you know? keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #77
Please explain to me how her posing for Playboy has anything to do with it. Iggo Nov 2017 #80
"and some images" - How do you know they were not applicable to the topic? keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #83
That's how I know. Iggo Nov 2017 #92
People like their slut shaming to be tacit and inferred Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #93
You ignore the parts that don't support your claims. keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #97
Again: Please explain, or at this point just hazard a guess. Iggo Nov 2017 #99
i have not made that claim... you are trying to. keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #105

There were posted here yesterday B2G Nov 2017 #113
There were some images... now you can enlighten us. keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #115
You don't 'remember them exactly', B2G Nov 2017 #118
Okay, you're not going to answer that question. Maybe I'm going about this in the wrong way. Iggo Nov 2017 #110
You're wrong. keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #117
You tell me. Iggo Nov 2017 #119
It would appear we are now done B2G Nov 2017 #122
I just like making circular-arguers chase their tails. Iggo Nov 2017 #123
Have you caught your tails yet? keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #124
If you're referring to her Playboy pics, B2G Nov 2017 #125
You folks keep bringing up guns. What guns? keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #126
Look. B2G Nov 2017 #127
So long... Run away b2g.... run away keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #136
I wasn't chasing anything except an answer to why you brought up those pics. Iggo Nov 2017 #133
I was interested to see if anyone had them. keithbvadu2 Nov 2017 #138
