What is it with Kennedy's and Car Crash Cover-ups

I'm coining a new phrase today, I would like to share it with everyone:

Culture of Car Crash Cover-ups.

How about "Driving While Kennedy"?

Idiots the V.P. waited 18 hours to talk to the national press hardly the same as the police. Also the Kennedy coverups, that we know about, stretch closer to 50 years and are not limited to alcoholic car crashes and yes murder.

The Kennedy's are the victims of two murders. I've never heard of a case where a Kennedy committed a murder. Have you?

you've never heard of a kennedy commit a murder? where were you July 18, 1969?

Maybe Chappaquiddick wasn't a murder, but it sure as hell was negligent homicide.

Madcity--the vaunted national press does not have jurisdiction over anything. Who the heck are they that anyone has to talk to them? Geez. They don't even have any credibility, and someone is obligated to talk to them? Please.

"He has taken full responsibility for events that occurred ... and he will continue to cooperate fully with any investigation," the elder Kennedy said.

Good for him, resign then. What is that quote, "Those who refuse to learn the lessons of history or condemned to repeat it." or something like that? The Kennedy clan is like genital herpes, the gift that keeps on giving.

Go back to school Stephen. You don't understand the difference between murder and manslaughter, something most 8th graders understand.

Background info: According to two independent sources, Kennedy probably lied about not using alcohol:

Capital Police incident report states Kennedy under influence of alcohol
Bar hostess says Kennedy drinking that night

As I've pointed out elsewhere, if he lied to the police about this, that was obstruction of justice.

However, there is a much more serious side to this.

Kennedy told officers he was going to a House vote at 2:45 AM. As you may be aware, the U.S. Constitution protects Members of Congress from being arrested or detained by the police in most circumstances providing they are going to or from the House. This is to protect from interference in the Democratic process by the administration or police.

He lied to the Capital Police officers and told them he was on his way to a vote at 2:45 AM... when there was no vote (but bars had recently let out)... which may have caused the Capital Police to confer with higher-ups and the higher-ups to order not to arrest Kennedy because of the U.S. Constitution... is Kennedy guilty of obstruction of justice: a felony?

If I was on a jury, I’d have to conclude he was.

He’s trying to escape legal jeopardy.

Q. Why did he lie about his drinking to the officers if he did so?
A. Obstruction of justice.

Q. Why did he lie about going to a vote at 2:45 AM if he wasn’t?
A. Abusing his power as a Congressman to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruct justice.

So now he’s saying he wasn’t drinking, but he was abusing prescription drugs. This despite the two previous sources I cited that state he was either “under the influence of alcohol” (the cops) or “drinking” (bar hostess).

And Kennedy’s own statement said that he took precisely the prescribed amount of his prescription drugs and no more.

His statements have changed multiple times, but it's his actions that night, which were in my opinion felonious.

If it walks like abusing his power to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruction of justice and if it talks like abusing his power to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruction of justice, it's a duck.

Key Point:

Patrick Kennedy abused his power as a Congressman to subvert the U.S. Constitution and obstruct justice when he lied to the Capital Police about going to a House vote at 2:45 AM when there wasn't any House vote at that time.

What do local traffic laws have to with the US constitution?

He's close to illegality, but so far no there yet. Drinking at 2 am and driking at 10 pm lead to two different possibilities, & we don't know when he was a the bar. We don't know he lied. But it doesn't look good.
