DSK was framed 100%. If he predicted set up, would he be running naked in the corridor of the hotel after unattractive maid? Maids have direct indication on their worklist, if the room is occupied by a VIP, and also whether if it a c/o- check out. Why did she go to that room then? Complete nonsense!
