Twitter suspends three more accounts tied to Roger Stone — as questions about credibility of LeeAnn Tweeden’s Franken claims emerge
Late this [Saturday] afternoon, Kyle Griffin, producer of MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, tweeted

Two other accounts, @StoneFlik and @RogerStoneGOP, also were suspended, apparently sometime today.
@StoneColdTruth and @RogerStoneGOP focused on media appearances by, political opinions from, and general news about Roger Stone, the notorious GOP operative. Multiple sources claim the accounts are not directly operated by Stone.
The move comes days after @StoneColdTruth teased a scandal story about Senator Al Franken; the next day, Los Angeles radio personality LeeAnn Tweeden went public with her claim that Franken had given her a crude and unwelcome kiss, along with a raunchy photograph of Franken apparently pretending to “grope” Tweeden.
Stone evidently got wind of the story the day before it was published; KABC admitted it had tipped off several news “partners”.
Tweeden’s case is not helped by her consensually raunchy “hands-on” introduction of Robin Williams from the same USO tour that makes the Franken photo look innocent by comparison:
Oh — there’s this, too…
Leanne Tweeden walked behind the guitar player and grabbed his buttocks while he was playing.
Turns out someone was very feely the entire USO tour and it wasn’t Al Franken.

But even more disturbing is the story behind the Franken photo itself — and its history. @DipswitchDan, a Twitter user in Wisconsin with experience in digital art and illustration, did a little bit of analysis on the photo of Franken pretending to “grope” Tweeden, and this is what he found, in two Twitter threads:
1 – Thread.
About @SenFranken
EXIF data – the stuff cameras stamp on the digital versions of files? It protects, among other things the copyright of the photographer by LITERALLY stamping the date on when the snap was taken.It ALSO records the last time a photo was modified.

3. Your accuser used the actual photo in her article.
She alleges: “The tour wrapped and on Christmas Eve we began the 36-hour trip home to L.A.”https://t.co/RAbuojiLhp— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 17, 2017
5. Mrs. Tweeden claims you groped her while she slept on that flight.
On Christmas Eve 2006, and because you’re a gross old man, you took a photo.
(Which the pigfuckers at Brietbart are claiming your brother Owen took.)— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 17, 2017
7. So – that’s one wrinkle.
Second – remember this day, Senator Franken? https://t.co/KrD6aWH6S7— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 17, 2017
9. So, this picture’s been waiting to do what it did today the second you became a Senator.
Since 2009, someone’s been holding on to a picture – something they KNEW would detonate your career if it was what it LOOKED LIKE.
They even ALTERED it the day you were elected.— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 17, 2017
11. See, the metadata also carries with it — when you use Photoshop to alter a pic (which this one seems to have been altered to remove WHO took the photo and the GPS data from the camera — weird, right?) — the serial number of the copy of Photoshop that used it.

13. For the record, I have my doubts that you mashed on a woman who wasn’t Frannie. And I haven’t even started checking this thing in Photoshop yet. (But I invite everyone out there following along to.)

P.S. – The camera used was a NIKON – now there’s lots of them, of course, but it’s also one that the journos in the military use.
Luckily there’s an AMA about it. https://t.co/8vigVWqnYj— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 17, 2017
The Nikon D2H was top of the top in 2005/2006. According to our AMA – that’s what the USAF Combat Camera is given.. So – the photo was likely taken by either a pro photog with USO or Combat Camera.
That either person would let you grope someone says something.

1. Folks – we need to have a brief chat about ‘Photoshopped’ versus ‘Modified’.
I am contending that the photograph supplied by Mrs. Tweeden as evidence Senator Franken committed a crime was staged by all participants in the photo.— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 18, 2017
3. She presented this photo (inadvertently, I’m guessing) as evidence in her article – attaching this file to it to ‘prove’ her allegations of sexual molestation. She literally states that ‘Al Franken Groped Me’.
All other versions of this photo have that metadata stripped.

5. So – I looked where I thought I would find the photographer’s information. She’s a professional model, and photographers OFTEN watermark their work. I was hoping the rat bastard slipped up.
I found that the owner’s info was gone.
And that other things were deleted.— It’s chaos. Be kind. (@DipswitchDan) November 18, 2017
7. Part of the data the jpeg header holds identifies the date of creation and the date it was last modified — Modified in this case means ‘saved, opened and resized, color corrected, red-eye removed’ or ANYTHING happening after opening it.

9. What I believe happened was – A Nikon D2H took this photo – it was transferred to a CD which Mrs. Tweeden has currently in jpeg format. It was LAST MODIFIED (at the time of being uploaded to her article) on Al Franken’s election day in 2009 at 10:30 PM.

10. The ‘modification’ was copying it for a political operative friend of hers on election day – or saved for a rainy day — like when indictments are coming down and it could help a political ally versus a political enemy.

12. So – no – Al is there. She is there. He’s honking her breasts, and everyone in the photo agreed to pose this way. She is lying about the context of the photo in a cynical bid to burn down a good man, with help from her pigfucker alt-right squad of dipshits.

13. Sorry – It’s really hard to be objective when the facts are clearly that she’s not telling the truth. #FindthePhotographer

Katy, my intention was to find out who shot this crime on camera. What I found out was that her provided evidence didn’t match her story.
The more I saw of it, the more it didn’t make sense.I’d encourage you to read the thread. I invited people with expertise to advise on it. pic.twitter.com/yTj5VqTpDU

Okay, so we have a photo taken on a USO tour, copied by someone on the day Franken humiliated the sniveling, unctuous Norm Coleman by defeating him handily at the polls, and the involvement of notorious dirty trickster Roger Stone.
Call it a hunch, but methinks Tweeden’s time in the barrel is about to come, followed by the issuance of apologies to Senator Franken.
Which raises the question: does the suspension of two Stone-related accounts have anything to do with a collapsing political hit job?
‘Nuff said.
