Jamie Leigh Jones vs Halliburton: You Be the Judge (Updated)

Filed under: Crime,War — DRJ @ 12:13 pm



[Guest post by DRJ]

UPDATE: Overlawyered has much more.

Don Surber is madder than a wet hen at Halliburton/KBR about Jamie Leigh Jones:

“A gang-rape victim tells all to ABC. It is sickening.

This made the Drudge, and it made me sick. Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, of Houston, said she was gang-raped while working for Halliburton in Baghdad.

On top of that, she was housed in a container and told not to report the rape or she would lose her job.

She also was warned that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she said, “Don’t plan on working back in Iraq. There won’t be a position here, and there won’t be a position in Houston.”

Somebody screwed up, terribly, and someone should pay.”

The Houston Chronicle reports Congress wants an investigation:

“In June, the Houston Chronicle reported that the male suspects in the alleged rapes were not prosecuted.

[Houston Congressman Ted] Poe said Congress could have hearings on the Jones case and others as early as January. In the letter Conyers and Poe sent Tuesday, they ask the Justice Department whether it can investigate and prosecute crimes by U.S. civilians in Iraq under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act.

Jones’ family called Poe for help after Jones said she was held against her will in a KBR storage unit following the attack at Camp Hope in Baghdad. Investigators freed Jones after Poe contacted the U.S. State Department.

Jones is one of at least four women who have filed federal lawsuits against KBR and its former parent company Halliburton, both based in Houston, following allegations of rape or sexual harassment.

According to her lawsuit filed in May, Jones awoke with bruises on her body, blood on her genital area and ruptured breast implants after being drugged the night before. L. Todd Kelly, Jones’ attorney, said a rape kit taken after her attack confirmed DNA samples from a man found in her bed as well as multiple unknown males. Kelly said the rape kit was lost after Army investigators turned it over to KBR officials.”

It looks like Justia.com has posted the pleadings in this case. Based on my cursory review, Halliburton/KBR asserts multiple defenses but apparently concedes Jones may have been raped in Iraq. It also looks like Halliburton/KBR asserts that Jones’ employment contract requires claims against her employer must first be submitted to arbitration, but Jones may have sued before arbitration was completed.

By the way, Halliburton asserts it never employed Jones and that she was instead employed by KBR.

In any event, I think we’ll be hearing more about this case.

H/T Instapundit.

  1. Why is this filed as an civil complaint? For U.S. criminal jurisdiction, did the rape occur on land used for or by the U.S. diplomatic mission in furtherance of it’s mission? If so, it would seem to me that 18 USC 7(9) would make this a location deemed to be within U.S. federal criminal jurisdiction. Using a date rape drug in order to have sex is Aggravated Sexual Abuse under 18 USC 2241(b).

    There are federal (non-military) Department of Justice prosecutors in the Green Zone in Baghdad. Why weren’t they informed?

  2. In any event, I think we’ll be hearing more about this case.

    We damn well should. I’m trying to think of some possible explanation for Halliburton’s behavior in this that isn’t despicable, and the only one I can come up with — which even Halliburton isn’t claiming, as far as I can tell — would be if (which seems rather unlikely) that she’s lying about every significant fact, a la Crystal Gail Mangum.

  3. My brief review of the pleadings suggests this will be a complicated case.

    DRJ (09f144)

  4. “must first be submitted to arbitration”

    Must first be submitted? Help me DRJ, there’s something I don’t understand here. One submits the claim to arbitration, then opens a simultaneous lawsuit (thinking this isn’t it), ignores any result they don’t like and sues (maybe this is what you’re getting at; I don’t know), or what? I’m so not getting this “must first” deal. I admit I’m ignorant about this and you would know much more about this than I would.

  5. PJM started deconstructing some of the allegations today. I did not have time to go through Bob Owens’ article, but there appear to be significant questions about the rape kit, the alleged confinement, prior sexual harassment claims, and the alleged timeline.

    JD (8fd56a)

  6. To talk about one aspect of your comment, JD:

    “prior sexual harassment claims”

    Without going into the merits one way or the other, surely a prior history of sexual harassment within an organization makes a rape, if anything, more likely not less?

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  7. Whats really sad is that this is going to be more about iraq than it will be about the alleged rape/assault. Team Lefty’s already blaming Bush for this one.

    Gabriel (6d7447)

  8. ruptured breast implants

    ouch!

    the rape kit was lost after army investigators turned it over to kbr officials

    why would they do that if they weren’t crooks colluding with kbr officials to hide evidence/obstruct justice?

    in a standard domestic rape, the accused gets his picture in the paper while the victim goes forward under a veil of anonymity. this is the reverse, and any of you monkeys out there who would like to score a journalistic coup and level the playing field to ms. jones’ advantage are encouraged to find out the name of the man in ms. jones’ bed whose dna matched the rape kit and publish it.

    you and i are paying for this, the war profiteering, the no-bid contracts, the corporate tail that wags the washington dog, and many of you to your eternal shame voted in the dog we have now. financial corruption is presumed by jaded, preoccupied citizens, but maybe a really egregious rape will be what it takes to turn enough americans against halliburton. if ms. jones’ allegations are true, she’s in a position to render an unusually high, valiant quantum of service to our country.

  9. I think that, from what I’ve read, it has some elements that I’d really like explained.

    Now, from another thread, this is where the troll jumps in and labels us/me misogynistic for not immediately believing every single detail at face value.

  10. “Team Lefty’s already blaming Bush for this one.”

    You broke it you pay for it.

    “this is where the troll jumps in and labels us/me misogynistic for not immediately believing every single detail at face value.

    Sure. After all, she’s no Juanita Broadderick, right?

    David Ehrenstein (5f9866)

  11. Without going into the merits one way or the other, surely a prior history of sexual harassment within an organization makes a rape, if anything, more likely not less?

    If the claims were valid, yes. If they weren’t, then the accuser has a history of making false claims.

    ruptured breast implants

    Breast implants are tough, there should have been other trauma to the breasts if the implants were actually damaged.

    the rape kit was lost after army investigators turned it over to kbr officials

    ada: why would they do that if they weren’t crooks colluding with kbr officials to hide evidence/obstruct justice?

    I don’t know, did the agreements with kbr stipulate it?

    LarryD (feb78b)

  12. Right, maybe she’s Crystal Gail Magnum.

    How about we see what the investigation turns up, all right?

    Techie (ed20d9)

  13. 509th Bob and Christoph,

    Good questions. Keep in mind that this is not a criminal trial. This is a civil action for sexual harassment and other claims against Jones’ employer (Halliburton/KBR), her supervisor, and specific co-workers. Jones is seeking money damages in the lawsuit. In general, this matter could proceed even if criminal charges had been filed in the past or if they are filed in the future.

    Halliburton apparently entered into employment contracts with its employees in Iraq. If there is an employment contract, the terms of the contract govern the obligations of both the employer and the employee.

    Most modern contracts, including employment contracts, have arbitration and/or mediation provisions in which the parties agree that if there is a dispute about the contract or anything relating to the contract, the dispute will be submitted to arbitration or mediation. The law generally views these provisions as binding even if it seems unfair to one side or the other when an actual dispute arises. This type of provision commonly provides that arbitration/mediation must be completed (or the arbitrator/mediator deems it incapable of completion) before either side can file a lawsuit.

    The reasoning behind arbitration/mediation provisions is straightforward. Lawsuits cost money and are, by definition, adversarial. In contrast, many employment disputes are similar to family law problems where people are more likely to quickly, privately and effectively work out their differences in a non-adversarial setting. It saves time, money, and promotes privacy.

    Not all employment relationships are contractual. For instance, in Texas, the law provides that employees are employed “at will” unless there is an employment contract. “At will” means the employee can quit at any time and the employer can fire the employee at any time, provided the firing is not for an improper reason such as illegal discrimination. Absent an employment contract, I’m not aware of any law that would prevent Jones from filing a lawsuit and avoiding arbitration completely.

    FWIW, this would be a great topic for Beldar but I think he’s pretty busy right now.

    DRJ (09f144)

  14. OK, KBR is a company, not some region. The fact that the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act may apply muddles what the proper procedure is, but it does seem very odd that the rape kit was turned over to a company not involved in forensics.

    LarryD (feb78b)

  15. From the news reports (of all kinds” I’ve read I get the impression that Halliburton can do whatever it wants in Iraq. Much like Blackwater.

    David Ehrenstein (5f9866)

  16. “According to her lawsuit filed in May, Jones awoke with bruises on her body, blood on her genital area and ruptured breast implants after being drugged the night before.”

    …”a rape kit taken after her attack confirmed DNA samples from a man found in her bed as well as multiple unknown males.”

    I suppose these have been replaced by now? When and where, who did the procedure? Could they have broken due to the work she was doing? Did she take a nasty fall, while sober/drunk? Was she normally the camp pass me around? So far we have zero knowledge about her, the camp, and especially the fellows that are alleged to have perpetrated such an incident.

    This case has the same indicators of the Duke LAX case. Lots of questions can be raised, valid on both sides. If her charges are true, then some real ugly sheet went down, if false then some real ugly sheet is about to go down. Gonna file this one on the back burner and take a wait and see.

    TC (1cf350)

  17. “Was she normally the camp pass me around?”

    While I believe strongly in the presumption of innocence, the phrasing of this necessary question bothers me. She may well have been the victim of a horrible rape and phrasing things in a more neutral way is appropriate in my view.

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  18. This one ought to send Marcotte into an apopleptic frenzy.

    JD (d5bd6e)

  19. Are comments from Mr. Ehrenstein always so predictable?

    Old Coot (2f9910)

  20. The plot already thickens it seems!!

    “In February 2006, Jamie Leigh Jones filed an arbitration complaint, complaining that, for her administrative assistant job with KBR in Iraq, she was placed in an all-male dorm for living arrangements, and a co-worker sexually assaulted her. (KBR says the co-worker claimed the sex was consensual, though Jones claims physical injuries, such as burst breast implants and torn pectoral muscles, that are plainly not consistent with consensual sex. The EEOC’s Letter of Determination credited the allegation of sexual assault.)

    Fifteen months later, after extensive discovery in the arbitration, Jones, who lives in Houston, and whose lawyer is based in Houston, and who worked for KBR in Houston, sued KBR and a bunch of other entities (including Halliburton, for whom she never worked, and the United States), in federal court in Beaumont, Texas. The claims were suddenly of much more outrageous conduct: the original allegation of a single he-said/she-said sexual assault was now an allegation of gang rape by several unknown John Doe rapists who worked as firemen (though she did make a claim of multiple rape to the EEOC, though it is unclear when that claim was made); she claims that after she reported the rape, “Halliburton locked her in a container” (the EEOC found that KBR provided immediate medical treatment and safety and shipped her home immediately) and she threw in an allegation that a “sexual favor” she provided a supervisor in Houston was the result of improper “influence.” (But she no longer makes the implausible claim that she was living in an all-male dorm in Iraq.)”

    From our friends at Overlawyered.

    More information

    Christoph, she may as well be just another Crystal Gail Mangum hollering RAPE to get some bucks!

    More; “People with legitimate claims usually don’t have lawyers trying so desperately to forum-shop that they file amateurish briefs like this, and Jones loses a ton of credibility with me over that. At a minimum, Jones’s story has changed over time, and has gotten considerably more lurid.

    The original allegations are bad enough, and, if true, actionable. If the implant rupture and other physical injuries are true, I’m inclined to believe that she was raped, perhaps even gang raped. …”

    Now lets enjoy the show, (sounds of popcorn popping)! 🙂

    TC (1cf350)

  21. TC, I prefer Michelle Malkin’s balanced approach to your flippant and callous one. After reporting on the same Overlawyered post you did, she concludes with this quote from Bob Owens who, “has also examined the docs and posts his analysis and chronology. He also criticizes the sensationalism surrounding the case, but adds:”

    Though there are some inconsistencies with certain aspects of the case and the way it has been reported, absolutely nothing seems to contradict the key claim that she was savagely, brutally raped. Nothing contradicts the fact that she has not be able to find justice for 2 years.

    I think she’s a brave young woman, and hope that she can find both emotional and physical healing.

    It’s probably too much to expect you not to be a jerk so instead I’ll criticize you for it.

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  22. “I think she’s a brave young woman, and hope that she can find both emotional and physical healing.”

    Are you sure you did not write articles for Durham newspapers?

    BTW Please Note: I do not know what happened to this woman! Neither, for a fact, do you. Just because I, and many others, may question her case does not mean that something horrible did not happen to her. But equally her allegations about such, highly fluffed up by an attorney and the MSM, does not make them fact either.

    I suppose that if I worked in media as your darlin MM does, my words as well would be different. I don’t work in media, I don’t mind if it’s obvious either.

    Does there happen to be any specific lesson you did not learn from the Duke LAX frame job? Koby Bryant? That rich dude that just got 12 mill from a disingenuous woman and on and on and on it goes. How many somewhat recent examples do you need about FALSE claims of rape that cost people millions of dollars to possibly question when one hollers such? Call me a skeptic, as I am one.

    Calling me a jerk make you an example of ignorance in motion!

    TC (1cf350)

  23. She has already withdrawn the claim of coed living arrangements.

    She also said she was kept in a steel connex shipping container for 24 hours without food or water. Excuse me but it’s 135 outside care to even try to guess what the oven would have been like on the inside???

    I could have cooked a turkey inside of that thing, and if she stands by that then someone already has.

    daytrader (ea6549)

  24. Another reason to be suspicious. From her journal:

    August 18-2007- I optioned my story to be written for a screenplay. The screenplay is currently in development and is being written by Tom Whitus.

    This lady want justice or publicity? And she has a marketing director!

    daytrader (ea6549)

  25. Should have given a link to Flopping Aces Milblog on that last oneA story too perfect

    daytrader (ea6549)

  26. I think we’ve had enough phoney atrocity stories coming out of Iraq that new claims need to be examined carefully. Justice looked into her allegations and decided to take no action – I’d like to know if their decision was based on technical grounds, which the news story implies but then doesn’t support, or they just didn’t find her credible.

    Even if the Army gave the rape kit to KBR (why?), she would not have been treated without a paper trail. The Army should have pictures and written logs by her doctors, as well as testimony by the doctors themselves.

    Also, supposedly the guy in her bed was a DNA match, while the others were unidentified. Her story is she was drugged and wasn’t conscious during the assault. So how does she know, aside from that one guy, who raped her?

    She said the supervisor kept her in the shipping container (which is possible, as some of them are rigged with AC). But he didn’t lock her in there. No, apparently she was kept there by the threat of termination. Huh? So she was afraid she might be denied the opportunity to work with such wonderful people?

    I’ll allow it’s possible she was raped and the inconsistancies can be explained. But if so, where are the criminal charges?

  27. Sounds like another “running over stray dogs with Bradley Fighting Vehicles” story?

    Another Drew (8018ee)

  28. The big question here: if there’s a Congressional probe into these allegations, does Hillary want to get anywhere near it?

    For reasons that should be obvious. (Hint: her initials are J.B.)

    DubiousD (022546)

  29. Bob Owens’ article points out many of the inconsistencies presented by these allegations. I am going to sit back and wait a while before forming an opinion. Having said that, Owens has been highly credible in the past, and if he unraveled this story this much already, it is not looking so good for her credibility. This has the feeling of the Duke case all over.

    JD (e15e05)

  30. I know nothing about this case at all. But I know that, on Confederate Yankee, Owens clearly says that he doesn’t purport to debunk the victim’s claims.

    I have no problem with sitting back and waiting to form an opinion. But when you say: “This has the feeling of the Duke case all over.” it doesn’t sound like you’re waiting.

    Buehler?

    TC (1cf350)

  32. TC #31, what the hell are you saying? Don’t be shy — spell it out for me.

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  33. I agree with Patterico. Look back at the original post. I think Halliburton/KBR concedes there was (or at least may have been) a rape but that’s not the issue as a legal matter – although it obviously has PR implications for Halliburton/KBR. The question is whether KBR as Jones’ employer is responsible for what happened to her.

    DRJ (09f144)

  34. Patterico – You are right. Something does not feel right. Just the inconsistencies that Owen pointed out leads one to question more and more. Couple that with the rumors about selling a script, and having a marketing director … What I have read today just does not sit well with me.

    If her allegations are true, then there are certainly some heads that should roll over this one. Problem is, that this will be turned into a meta-story about Bush corruption as opposed to the bad actions of the people involved.

    It seems odd that the Army and/or State investigated this and no charges were ever filed. It would be interesting to know the results of their investigation, and how they arrived at their decision.

    As is, there is simply very insufficient evidence to support either side, other than the allegations in the complaint. We have to assume that in the complaint, they laid out every claim that they are making, in the strongest manner possible.

    JD (d660a2)

  35. DRJ – If there was a rape, why were no charges filed? Doesn’t that seem a bit curious?

    JD (d660a2)

  36. If it was because there was no evidence, then this stinks. If it was because of a cover-up, I hope the people involved get publicly exposed for their actions.

    JD (d660a2)

  37. JD,

    I really don’t know but it could be lots of things: Maybe there was no convincing evidence of rape vs consensual sex; maybe its been difficult to tell who has jurisdiction; maybe the prosecutor is still investigating or has other cases to handle first; or maybe someone blew it.

    The feeling I get from reading other blog posts is that something happened but Jones’ claims may have been exaggerated since the original event.

    DRJ (09f144)

  38. I love women and prefer their society to that of men under any and all circumstances. But …

    Here is one story of a girl who enlists in a mercenary army and gets gang-raped. And then there are several threads on this site about a woman who goes to church and saves her fellow parishioners from a mass murderer by fearlessly advancing towards him while he’s shooting at her and gunning him down. Kind of makes you think who’d you want to be the mother of your children. (Leaving the breast implants out of the equation if you want.)

    nk (26f031)

  39. From what I’ve read elsewhere, there can be no criminal charges. Everyone involved is American, so they don’t come under Iraqi jurisdiction, but they are out of the country, so they don’t come under US jurisdiction. If this is correct, then you can not point to the lack of criminal charges as meaningful in any way.

    Karen (6dd52b)

  40. Karen,

    There’s at least one blog, Overlawyered, that disagrees with the statement there could not be criminal charges in this case:

    It goes without saying that any criminal assault should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I haven’t seen any support for the contention that there is a loophole that leaves an American contractor’s attack on an American outside the scope of criminal prosecution, as some left-wing blogs have claimed. The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000, 18 U.S.C. § 3261 ff., permits prosecutions of criminal acts committed by defense contractors working with troops overseas, and there has been a child porn and an attempted rape prosecution under this law for crimes committed in Iraq. The loophole in the news applies to contractors working overseas with the State Department.

    DRJ (09f144)

  41. DRJ, there’s no Haliburton/KBR anymore. It’s just KBR.

    I find it very, very hard to believe no charges can be filed. We arrest people all the time for acts against American law that have taken place in other countries. I simply do not believe that is the reason we haven’t seen charges.

    Also, as this crime is alleged to have been committed in 2004, it’s hard to believe nobody has gotten around to it at the prosecutor’s office.

    Eric (5613d2)

  42. And, nk, these are not mercenaries. I can’t decide if people on the left don’t realize that because they don’t understand what a mercenary is, or because they’re ignorant of all things military.

    Eric (5613d2)

  43. Eric – nk is far from being a Leftist. Just sayin’

    JD (d660a2)

  44. Eric #41,

    As to KBR, I know but the corporate responsibility issues relate back to when the events allegedly occurred. At that point, I believe KBR was a Halliburton subsidiary and not a separate entity as it is now.

    As to criminal charges, I agree but we can only guess at this point since we have so little information.

    DRJ (09f144)

  45. Karen #39 and DRJ #40,

    As I see it, there are two possibilities for asserting U.S. criminal jurisdiction. First is the standard “special maritime and territorial jurisdiction” of the United States (18 USC 7), which includes Embassy grounds for offenses committed by or against a U.S. national. If KBR was working in support of the State Department, then KBR’s Camp Hope may (or may not be) be covered under 18 USC 7.

    MEJA, 18 USC 3261, applies to contractors who are working in support of military operations.

    I do not know who KBR is technically working for in the Green Zone. But, either way, there are no legal barriers to asserting jurisdiction here (at least none that I am aware of).

    That said, notwithstanding employment clause contracts, if I were assaulted at work, my first reaction would be to press criminal charges – not file a civil suit. The civil suit would follow if appropriate. Perhaps I’m just too law enforcement oriented?

    Like many others, I’d like to see the inconsistencies in the story explained. But I’ve seen enough to know that inconsistencies do, in fact, “happen” in the real world. If there is a valid claim of rape here, I would (being the rather vindictive sort) not only prosecute the rapists, but also anybody involved in a cover-up (conspiracy – 18 USC 371) or destruction of evidence (18 USC 1510). I like prosecuting people who have no redeeming moral character, it makes me sleep better at night.

    509th Bob (96a8a6)

  46. ….This story stinks.

    As several folks mentioned, my first act if raped would be making an unholy legal fuss via CRIMINAL law.

    Frankly, the woman sounds like a room mate I had in the Navy– she accused her entire shop of sexual harassment, and would’ve gotten away with destroying their careers except that she had to tack on the boyfriend of the other woman in the shop. The dates she claimed he was harassing her, he was in front of a ton of brass in Las Vegas, showing off some of our planes…..

    Nothing happened despite the obviously false accusations, and I suspect the same will be here– if you’ve no morals, why NOT accuse folks of rape? It’s win/win.

  52. Jamie does not tell the truth a women by the name of Deborah Woodhams who works for Halliburton/KBR flew home with Jones so this whole thing about Poe rescue is not making sense. And the fact that Jamie and Tracy’s previous attorneys took witness statements by the name of Kevin Rodgers out of Tracy Barker’s case file to boost Jamie in the press is BS too
    please read http://www.tracykbarker.com and http://womensspace.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/the-silencing-of-tracy-barker-sexually-assaulted-by-still-employed-us-state-department-official-and-raped-by-halliburtonkbr-supervisor-in-iraq/

    sarabeth (712806)

  53. Personally I feel it is disgusting how the media and internet reportings are all copy and paste. For once if these people who are backing up jones would take a moment out of their support for jones,researched and compared documents and statements between Tracy K Barker who was the only Army Wife and one of the first victims to come forward who had spent a year in Iraq and compared Tracys horbile ordeal to what Jones has been claiming that happened to her one would see that the statements that Jones submitted were all about Tracys case as well as in detail what happened in iraq with Tracy. Jones not once has submitted a Kevin Rodgers statement that directly pertains to Baghdad where Jones was, hell Rodgers didnt even know Jones, The letty Surman statement, not once dis surman discuss Jones case in detail only Tracy’s case and in Basra not Baghdad, if you supporters of Jones back Jones up then I highly suggest you ionvestigate the facts of both cases. The dates, the cities in Iraq and the sworn statements before you embarasse yourselves.

  54. “I had to walk past half naked men and hear cat calls as I walked to the bathroom I was at the end room of the hall I didnt see any other women on the floor”
    Jamie Jones steals this from Tracy Barkers diary that Barker handed over to Attorney Todd Kelly and Stephanie Morris this diary is 3 years old and was already submitted since 2005 as a legal document. Barker made a complaint with a women by the name of Amandad bush back in December 2004 and halliburton fixed the problem.
    I was told to stay and get over it or go home with no job Taken from Barkers diary and also phone documentation of Deborha woodhams. Stolen from barker and submitted as Jones
    I was the only source of income stolen from Tracy

    barker never exchanged sexual favors with her boss that was Jones and Eric LLier but these attorneys switched screwing Barker over after the cases got transfered from Beaumont Texas. Barker was used lied about and her witness statements were falsey submitted in Jamies case behind Barkers back lieing to the jodge making him think Barker was in Baghdad when she was assaulted.

    Tracy was raped drugged there is a drug report and put in a shipping container for 3 days Stephanie Morris writes EEOC Rori Wikerson a letter confirming these eventys before Kelly comes in adn steals Barkers case while Barker is in the hospital with kidney problems pregnant with twins EVERYONE PLEASE PULL THE pleadings in both cases in Jones case they are saying Barker was raped but the same day an hour later they are messing Barkers case talking about Barker giving sexual favors for living conditions. Folks there are no barracks in Basra all containers are the same if Barker was giving sexual favors for favorable living conditions the day she was leaving drom being assaulted by ALi Mokhtare?? Doesnt make sense. Please see http://www.tracykbarker.com the links on there have been removed I assume from the Kelly and Jones and Poe crew because they are being exposed for the fraud. Its okay we have copies and plan on putting them back out there. We do not belive in Jones using this women and taking her evidence witness that have never been where Jones has and then lieing about her to the press and courts and then making her disappear it will take alot more than removing a congressional hearing statement that was fraud and a few articles because it is always quiet before the storm.
