Why would Senator McCain’s Mother and Second Wife Cindy Sue His Wheelchair-Bound First Wife?
Friday, November 20th, 2009
John McCain claims the fact that his ex-wife was sued twice, first by his mother, than by he and his new wife Cindy was all just an accident. In fact, he says he didn’t authorize, didn’t have knowledge of, or participate in a lawsuit in which he sued his ex-wife for $1 million in punitive damages. In order to believe this, you have to believe that an attorney randomly picked his ex-wife and decided to makeup a lawsuit and file it against her, just happening to name McCain as the plaintiff. Here are the details. From the AP:
An old lawsuit on record at the city courthouse reveals a moment of friction between John McCain’s mother and his ex-wife. Years later, McCain and his former wife presented a united front in a lawsuit of their own.
Roberta’s lawsuit sought personal property she claimed Carol was refusing to return. The disputed items included an 18th century Burmise Buddist Preist (Burmese Buddhist priest) valued by Roberta at $2,000, and a Butlers Tray for Liquor she valued at $225.
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in an e-mail, Of course, by all accounts the divorce was completely amicable. After John and Carol McCain’s divorce, there was apparently some confusion about belongings that were Roberta McCain’s but we understand the court papers were unintentionally filed, and the matter never went further in the legal system. It went nowhere, and was of no consequence.
In the 1990 lawsuit, John and Carol McCain jointly sought $1 million in punitive damages after a property management firm mistakenly threw out some McCain family treasures from a garage the McCains shared with an adjacent townhouse. The lost items included letters McCain wrote to his wife as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
In his e-mail, Bounds said McCain had no knowledge of the suit: He did not authorize the suit or participate in its filing.
But the lawyer who represented the McCains said she did indeed speak to McCain and get his permission to sue on his behalf.
You can be sure that I talked to and got the permission of any client who is listed as a plaintiff, said attorney Barbara P. Beach.
None of the attorneys involved had an ethics complaint filed against them and anyone who wants to keep practicing knows you better damn well have your client’s permission before you file a suit. Especially if that client is a United States Senator.
The more I dig, the more I unearth some very disturbing things about Senator McCain’s family values. It should be evident to all who truthfully search….Senator McCain has no family values and does not value families!
