And Sarkozy's finance minister Christine Lagardiere is considered the likely choice to succeed DSK at the IMF, while Sarko's delighted.

Interesting coincidences.

Do you all realize that he changed the way the IMF restructures..he bucked the trend and wanted the PIIGS to rebuild from within without selling their assets or letting foreign money come in and buy everything up. Plus the guy who took over the IMF is ex JP Morgan.

So now JP Morgan is running the IMF. How do you like that one ?

And he had a good chance at France.

Color me tin foil..and I want to read a bit more into this, but it smells like a nasty setup, one that will take him down and never let him get back into power again.
You are probably on to something. Those is "higher circles" have overlooked way more than this in the past.

it looks like the case has some holes in it:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/01/ny...mid=tw-nytimes

Prosecutors from the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., who initially were emphatic about the strength of the case and the account of the victim, plan to tell the judge on Friday that they “have problems with the case” based on what their investigators have discovered, and will disclose more of their findings to the defense. The woman still maintains that she was attacked, the officials said.

“It is a mess, a mess on both sides,” one official said.

Indeed. It appears that although M. Le Frog is indeed a Bill Clintonesque abuser of the hired help, the woman in question is a serial liar....

Yeah..but DSK is out of the IMF which is what I think this whole thing was about.
He wanted to change the way loans were made to countries..he was going against the status quo.

He's a womanizer and has never denied it (in fact he said a few years ago: "I like women, so what?"), but it seems they had consensual sex and she has lied. I hope she gets her **s kicked.

Since Narrisau Diallo is an illegal alien, I hope she gets deported too.

Agreed. I smelled a setup from the beginning. It just didn't make sense.
Report: Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s Prosecutors Felled by 400 Pounds of Weed | The New York Observer

revealed that:
  • Since her initial allegation, the accuser has repeatedly lied to prosecutors.
  • The accuser, a Guinean national, has a pending asylum application. The woman had told prosecutors that in the application was another account of rape, and prosecutors found no such account in the application.
  • She also had a phone conversation with a man in jail about the benefits of pressing charges against Mr. Strauss-Kahn the day she charged him. The conversation is on tape.
  • The man she had the conversation with was jailed for possession of 400 pounds of marijuana.
  • He is also one of many people who made cash deposits in her bank account going upwards of $100,000, from four different states.
