Court documents show key claim made by Roy Moore’s attorney was a lie; Moore's attorney held the press conference to attack the credibility of an accuser.

At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, attorneys for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) attempted to refute sexual assault accusations made earlier this week by Beverly Young Nelson. In addition to challenging the yearbook signature, attorney Phillip Jauregui also suggested Nelson was not credible because she said she had no contact with Moore. Jauregui claimed that Nelson had contact with Moore when he presided over her divorce case in 1999. The documentation of that divorce proceeding, however, undermines this claim.

“As it turns out, in 1999, Ms. Nelson filed a divorce action against her then-husband, Mr. Harris,” Jauregui said Wednesday. “Guess who that case was before? It was filed in Etowah County, and the judge assigned was Roy S. Moore, circuit judge of Etowah County. There was contact.”

There was not contact.

The details of the case were first exposed by a pseudonymous Twitter account, which dug up the documents from that divorce action. ThinkProgress independently verified the full, unredacted case file, which shows there was no occasion for Moore and Nelson to cross paths. The case was dismissed shortly after it was filed as Nelson and her husband attempted to reconcile.

The only explanation for Jauregui claiming “there was contact” between Moore and Nelson because of this divorce action is to undermine Nelson’s credibility. In doing so, he only further undermined Moore’s.

When criminal charges are fuel for political contests, lawyers become spin doctors and their noble role as officers of the court goes down the drain. For over a year our national political dialogue has been dominated by claims and investigations of alleged illegal acts by the President, members of his campaign, and his cabinet officers. Legal accusations have become the currency of political attack. The process has spread down to lesser contests like the senate race in Alabama. We have not had such a sordid national politics for fifty years.

The sordid history of political correctness goes back over a century....It appears to be accelerating since the 1980s...If it gets much worse, only the dickless will be allowed to hold public office............. :oyvey

Only Democrats have been expelled from the US Senate, but that was for supporting the Confederacy, not dating teenage girls......... :shakeshead:

Missing on the list of victims are women of color....Does this suggest institutionalized racism by both Democrats and Republicans, or simply women of color appreciate the attention by whiteys ???...I would hate to think that white women are frequently hysterical feminists with a strong desire to sue men or at least an obsession to get their 15 minutes of fame....I can verify that all women look the same upside down, so none are very special despite drama queen's confidence they have something special.................. :oyvey
