doesnt make it so. Just bc they SAY he confessed, doesnt make it so. Someone else murdered that kid I think and set the immigrant up for just this reason.

....but I do want to know how Mike Pence was tipped off last week about all this.

I'm starting to think this Republican farm owner knew something and sent out a heads up.

If he was a BAD immigrant, why did the farmer keep him on for 4 years?

I direct your attention to don trump who is now our 'president'. and the people who are exploding our country who came w them. You think they wouldnt double purpose an immigrant(?) to push back on cohen and manafort? I put NOTHING past the russian mob that has over run our govt.

A better tactic is to rely on the family to criticize Trump for politicizing her death as her aunt and cousin have already done,

I don't recall Dick Cheney visiting Natalee Holloway's mom in 2005, and that was a huge story.

Weird how out of the blue that happened....within the recent time frame of cohen and manfort and all that mess. I absolutely dont trust the thin eyed preacher of a VP.

For a month now, literally since days after she went missing. Howany guys in this small town have a black SUV that they couldn't find him for weeks. They also had visited the corn field before because her fitbit led them there, bit they didn't find her even with search dogs and stuff...

Then pence visits...

Then they just happen to release all of this with a news conference for the exact same freaking hour as the manafort jury decision and Cohen pleading guilty, and just two days ago Trump said immigration was their strongest issue for November.

Come on there are too many weird questions here about timing...I don't know that they are setting this guy up but I do think the news release of them finding her was set up to change the news cycle. These guys have done much worse,I'm sure they wouldn't think twice about using this poor girl and her family for political gain. They are probably just paying them $15,000 per month like everyone else they want to keep quiet.

It's their mantra suddenly. Remember Mollie etc. Real convenient to put it on some field hand who is now deep inside the jail w informants and red neck jailers. I think there's a rat here. The farmer is a local gop office holder i thought. I can see very easy a gop kid/man w affluenza...nabbing this poor girl and killing her. Then, the industrious gop father, evil as they all are, throwing out his 4 year old trump card by throwing the field hand under the bus and at the same time 1, switching the focus from the real murderer, and 2. having a very "on point' election message they think is ripe for Americas ears. I repeat. I DONT know who killed her, but, it wouldnt be the first human being to get ground up making the gop hot dogs. Just thought it'd behoove us to not just swallow the gop line hook line and sinker....

But she is a small percentage of murder victims of immigrants. What about all the people killed by white American men? All those pretty young women shot to pieces at a country music festival. All the pretty young women shot in a movie theater.

Young women like Mollie Tibbetts die at the hands of American male citizens everyday. But this is the one the deplorables will be outraged about.

Wouldnt be the first falsely arrested immigrant terrified in custody who blurts out something contrary to thier defense. The police can make a perfectly innocent prisoner...guilty in short time. Fear in jail is pervasive. Unless you've been there, you may not know. I dont know who murdered that girl, but, I dont just go w GOP narratives about things like Immigrants anymore.
