Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Just within the last day or two Condit has admitted to having an intimate relationship with Levy. I think it would've been more productive if he has shared the details of his relationship with Levy earlier on. However I feel he handled this situation wisely by not discussing any information with the media. The media was covering this story insatiately after it broke and have been trying to instigate a national scandal. Condit has been cleared as a suspect in the disappearance of Chandra Levy. There are many theories surrounding this case, but I think it would be better if the media only presented the facts and concentrated on the search rather than a possible affair.
Your thoughts on the Senator and Chandra Levy?

It is a big leap to argue that AFFAIR=MURDER.
Innocent until proven guilty. Always been the standard, always will be.

Ryan, Ryan, Ryan ...
You're correct, an affair does not equal murder. However, Condit's initial denial of the affair has impeached his credibility and honesty. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Innocent until proven guilty? In the court room, yes. In the court of public opinion, no.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and squaks like a duck ... guess what? It's probably a damn duck!
CONDIT IS A MURDERER!
You're so naive ... I worry about you, Ryan. I really do.

May, May, May---
Of course, the guy has a motive for killing her---to cover up the affair. But, don't you think he would lie about the affair regardless of whether or not he killed her--- since he has a family and political career to lose?
If you impeached the credibility of any man because of he lied about having an affair, then everyman's credibility would surely be impeached. See Clinton.
In short, most all men lie about having affairs. So, Rep. Condit's lie really says nothing, but that he's like most all other men----HE LIES ABOUT AFFAIRS.
Now, if Rep. Condit lied about other more serious issues, then I could understand his credibility being impeached. In my view, he's just as credible as he was before this scandal broke.
May, why so quick to convict? Try another argument. You have no evidence, except some abstract circumstantial notion that an affair=murder.
And, by the way, WHY ARE WE ONCE AGAIN ASKING A POLITICIAN ABOUT HIS PERSONAL BEHAVIOR.
This all conjures up really haunting memories of the witchhunt for none other than PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. Clinton..............?

You lie about an affair yes, but you don't have to kill for one...If she were here talking about it in the media he would call her a liar, I still would bet he knocked her up and did away with her and the proof of his affair

Hmmm .... I think that his attempt to have that flight attendant sign an affadavit (spelling?) stating that they did not have an affair is trying to get someone to commit perjury. Seems pretty serious to me and I have to suspect his claims that he is providing all the information he has to help find Chandra.

Under normal circumstances, I agree with you. I don't care who is sleeping with who. However, when one of the parties is a 24 year old girl who disappears off the face of the planet and her married lover denies her as being anything more than a "good friend," red flags immediately go up.
He should have stood up immediately and said, "Yes, Chandra and I were intimate. I have no knowledge of her whereabouts." Then, I would have gone home to my family and constituants and faced the consequences.
Hey, Ryan! I've got this bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you! Cheap! No reasonable offer will be refused!

It definitely would have made a difference of public opinion if the Congressman would have just come clean at the beginning of this whole thing. It seems he kept quiet for a reason until he started feeling the pressure. If Chandra Levy were alive (which I seriously doubt she is) she would've come forward by now and not put her family through this agony. Wait a few more weeks and then the Congressman may possibly offer more information.
First off the congressmen is a public figure and politics is a dirty business so if he wanted a private life he should of chosen another line of work !! His credibility is shot and he says he has no intentions of leaving office but this whole thing is swarming around him and will not go away until the body of this woman is found .I think foul play came into the deal and he is an idiot for not telling the truth from the start about his affair because when he is bought to trial,if at all, the prosecutors will FIRST bring up the point that he lied and his credibility with the jury will be ZREO.He better hope they do not find a body and other evidence that links him to any foul play because he wont have a snowballs chance in hell in the courtroom.I just feel for the parents because their child is gone and not anyone here can relate to that unless it happens to YOU! 
Condit is not my Congressman, but Modesto is about 20 min from where I live.
My brother used to deliver office supplies to his office for years and he told me never met a bigger asshole in his life. Cocky, concieted, and ignorant. Never a thank you or greeting for years. All his staff were asses also.
All these politicos think they are above the law, they are protected by the police and power brokers. basically they can get away with quite a bit that you or I could never.
Personally, I think he did it. No proof of it, just a feeling....
