I am sure that this case would have moved forward without knowing that Duke students of some kind were involved. It was not a requirement, just a convenience to find out that the Duke LAX team was involved. Sports team make so much better of a story. It does not preclude that someone would have chatted about it either formally or informally to nifong or someone related to him. After all he needed a boost to his campaign and a story like this might do it. Maybe someone said, What do you mean they dropped the rape claim, even if false, this could help my campaign. Reinstate it and investigate these guys. Get a search warrant. If the story was true that a gang rape by some white guys on a black girl happened, that alone would not have justified nifongs lying about when he learned about the case. But if nifong or someone close to him had knowledge that a white on black rape may have occurred and it also involved Duke then that would be cause for nifong to lie about when he learned things he may have already put into action. It is easier to frame city folk than students who are part of the very well endowed Duke University. And the reason for that is that nifong and others knew they could get so much more milage out of a white on black rape if a well known university sports team was involved. Besides, I know I would immediately think this incident may have occurred at a Duke owned house or by Duke students just because of its location within the TP area. What normal neighbor would hire a stripper unless there was a out of control party going on and that had to be Duke students. What are the odds, huh? Either way, nifong would have gotten milage out of this case for his campaign. He just got more milage out of a false claim of a white on black rape by a college sports team. I also believe that even an accusation of a white male on black female rape or sexual assault would have been news immediately. After all, how many such claims are ever made. Maybe people laughed at it while just talking about what happened in passing or at the water cooler gossip. HAHAHAHA, a white male on black woman rape? When did that ever happen? etc. etc. But someone took it seriously enough, very early on, to reverse the decision for dropping this case, long before nifong clued us in on when he said he found out about this serious crime. This then gets us back to the fact that this frame was set up very early, and if the scuttlebutt was never discussed with nifong or others when that decision to reinstate the rape claim was made, then everyone was left out of the loop. Gottlieb, supposedly the one to reinstate the rape theory without being told, would have been working alone and his actions would have gone unnoticed by everyone? I doubt it. But if nifong already knew about what was happening, then he was in the loop very early on and most likely part of the set up early on to pursue these guys falsely for political gain. He would then whisper, thank you Cy.
