He was arrested for tapping his feet!!! This was the lewd conduct the policeman reffered to as "often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct"
I honestly don't know if he is gay or not. But I do know that just the accusation once made public would have ruined his career no matter if he plead guilty or innocent. He plead guilty to try and keep it under wraps and of course it didn't work.
IT IS A SAD SIGN OF WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME WHEN A MAN CAN BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE AND RUINED BY THE MEDIA FOR TAPPING HIS FEET IN A BATHROOM!!! Maybe he is gay, and maybe he has done other things in the past to suggest he has issues. But this whole thing stinks. Tapping his feet???? I'm almost afraid to take a crap in a public bathroom ever again. What if I cough or clear my throat or any other signal gay people might use that I am unaware of? Could I be arrested? I find myself wishing more and more everyday that I could just move to another planet.

This smells real bad, I am not convinced he was guilty of anything. Lots of people tap their feet, does not mean nothing except they are hyper. I would not doubt , that he was set up. There are plenty in Washington with pull to set him up on purpose. This is election campaign time, and dirty politics is nothing new for a certain person running for President. Could be the person recognized him, and wanted to make problems for him, and it worked. Who knows. There is many others that is pure corrupt, yet they are still there.

Nothing stinks about this except for the intregrity of the US Senate. How could he have been set-up? He blocked the door so no one could look under it, then put his foot into the stall next to it and rubbed it against the officer's foot!
Tapping his feet is a signal he learned to use in that particular bathroom, used in a certain way. One of 40 arrested.
NOBODY with the education and knowledge of a US Senator would think that by pleading guilty it would just "Go away." He plead guilty because he knew he was. If he was innocent he would have hired the best lawyers the taxpayers could pay for and fought the charge.

He didn't just tap his feet.
He stood there peeking through the crack in the stall door, then when the stall next to the officer was free he got in it. He moved his foot underneath the stall alongside the other guys, and he put his hand under the stall wall and slid it along to the front of the stall.
That's not what people do when they're just going into a stall to do their business. He made his intentions known in several different ways, then when he was caught and shown the police's ID he shouted "No!" then tried to get out of it by flashing his Senate ID.
He wasn't arrested for tapping his feet.

He plead guilty which means he is for all intensive purposes guilty regardless of what public statements he makes you can assume he is guilty. I can't say i have all the information on this sort of thing, but what he did seems unusual and purposeful from what i've read.

There is an old saying, "Where ever there is smoke, there is usually a fire!"
I don't believe for one moment that he pled guilty to simplify this case and move on, as he has suggested. Obviously he is as much of a jerk as those jerkwater cops who made a deal with him to keep everything "hush, hush!" He obviously believed them and went along because it suited his purpose at the time.
And I also don't think for one moment that the guys in his own party would have been so irresponsible to dump him if he was not guilty. I may not like these neo-cons but I do have faith their judgment. I am sure they investigated Mr. Craig's case in a very fair and thorough manner before asking him to step down.
Was he set up? I do not think so for one single moment.

Geez Louise! You don't really think the man was arrested for tapping his feet? It's what he was planning on tapping that got him in trouble. I hate it when I'm sitting down to relieve myself and I see a head looking up from the stall next to mine!

If that was the only evidence,I don't think they'll be a case !
Its not the first time the senator has been investigated...
An innocent man does not plead guilty, and as one who knows law as in Craig's case,I think he was well aware of the out come !

He set himself up by behaving in an inappropriate manner.
He was one of congressmen mentioned during the 1982 Congressional Page scandal. Just because he got married and had children doesn't mean his "proclivities" changed.

I'd call the cops if someone in the stall next to me did what Senator Craig did and I would expect them to be arrested. The cop was doing his job.
