(unless he has a bunch of dirt on them which wouldn't surprise me at all) No I'm not... You didn't read what I said. I'm asking the question of "do the other owners think that going easy on this leads to an open season on NFL owners." I am also sure they have a ton of skelatons which is the exact reason they don't want to come across weak on this because they don't want people looking. Correct. But I don't think the public is outraged. Right or wrong, if Kraft is proven to have no knowledge of a sex trafficking ring, this will be forgiven and forgotten. 90% of Boston is probably willing to provide an alibi contradicting his whereabouts the day of the sting.

Robert Kraft will be done (my complete opinion) but it'll be interesting to see if the Kraft name is done as well or if his son can take over.

Kraft being a one time donor to Trump means the media will bite into this like a tick bites into a dog or cat. Kraft is way down the celeb headline stuff on MSM behind R Kelly and Smollett, so this isn't the case at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Kraft thread over on PPP if you want to look at any political angle. That aside the news is a little over 24 hours old so not enough time for the media to organize a plan unlike Smollett whose problem is over a week old now. 22 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: Money may buy discretion for a while, but it's never guaranteed forever.

Most billionaires don't play with loose cannon sex partners. It's understood the hooker is paid well and also to keep her mouth shut. That aside most hookers know that rich guys did not get to where they are by playing by the rules. Most hookers don't want to wind up dead because of a failed power play.

Deranged Rhino Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: That’s the question I have. Why did he go there? Not just once, but again - after seeing/experiencing what it reportedly was? To say he just wanted to get a quickie doesn’t make sense to me considering he could do that in complete private anytime with a high end hooker. I just can’t fathom why he would go there. People in that strata only go to places like that when its been vouched for by other high profile friends. Which is going to be the biggest question / revelation about this whole ordeal. Who financed it. Who owns it. Why/How do they cater to such an elite class? Human trafficking is a scourge in this country, one which many many in the "elite" circles profit from or exploit. I've spent the past few years working with victims - it changes you once you understand the omnipresence of the issue - and who, largely, is behind keeping it running and profitable. The people we are told to trust the most are the ones with the most skeletons in their closets. Sometimes that's just a metaphor, in cases like this it's literal. The darkness is real. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 55 minutes ago, sodbuster said: The following is totally just me spitballing, but the large contribution to that human trafficking charity really makes me wonder. My mind has led me to three conclusions. 1. Like most other uberwealthy people, he has other people making the decisions about where his charitable contributions go. This is probably the simplest, most likely explaination, especially if you want to believe that he had no idea about the potential status of the women servicing him. 2. He got pinched once before, but whoever caught him swept it under the rug, and made him do something for victims of the crime he was committing. 3. He felt guilty about his hobby and thought that maybe throwing money at that cause would help balance out his bad karma. The last two make the most sense if he knew what was happening (or at least what commonly is happening) at a place like that. A lot of "human trafficking" charities are not actually interested in stopping trafficking. Look at the McCain institute and its supporters as an example. Or the Clinton Foundation. 36 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: How did he not know this place was involved with sex trafficking (as reported) IF (as you guessed) he knew the owner? He knew. Thats why he went. 31 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: THIS. He can have them come to him with ultimate discretion through payment and non disclosures. It makes no sense for him (or anyone with his notoriety or money) to visit a place like this. What am I missing Respectfully what I suggest you're missing is that this is common place within certain circles. Encouraged even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Now THIS is entertainment! And you don't get chauffeured in your limo, drive past a place like this, and just jump out and get busy: you pick a place where the girls/women are disease-free and that what happens there stays there. Which means asking a lot of questions and getting assurances. This plus the fact that he donated to anti-sex-trafficking charities (probably as a cover) makes the "I didn't know" defense worthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
