Chappaquiddick: Was Ted Kennedy innocent of Mary Jo Kopechne's death?

[Lakhota]

Ted Kennedy didn't abandon Mary Jo Kopechne when his car plunged off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island ... he didn't even know she was in the car, according to a retired CIA operative.

We've been asked not to use the CIA person's name, but he worked for the agency for decades. He says back in 1969, Kennedy was romantically involved with the wife of a very powerful politician, and if word got out about the affair Kennedy was afraid it would ruin his career.

The operative says the night of the accident Kennedy and some of his buddies were all drunk and drove to a party on the Island. They went there because the politician's wife was at the party and Kennedy wanted to hook up with her. Mary Jo Kopechne was at the party ... she and Kennedy were acquaintances but not romantically involved.

According to the operative, Mary Jo was drunk, said she had a headache, got up and said she was going into one of the bedrooms to lie down.

At some point later in the evening, Kennedy and the politician's wife wanted "some alone time" and didn't want to do anything in front of the group, so they got in the car and drove ... eventually plunging off the bridge into the water. They both swam to shore safely. The operative says both were not injured.

The operative says unbeknownst to either Kennedy or the politician's wife, Mary Jo apparently was unable to sleep in the house because of the noise, so she went into the back seat of the car where she fell asleep ... which is where she died. At least one person at the party knew Mary Jo had gone into one of the cars and told authorities that after the accident.

A second person, who was close to Ted and the Kennedy family in '69, confirmed the operative's story. There's a new movie coming out this week -- "Chappaquiddick" -- which chronicles the accident and the aftermath.

If true - a lot of people owe Ted Kennedy a big apology. What do you think?

 

[Lakhota]

I wonder who the powerful politician's wife was that Kennedy was romantically involved with? Now I'm looking forward to seeing the movie which is due out this week.

 

[gipper]

I wouldn't doubt it. He was a known drunk and could have missed the fact that a pretty girl was in his car.

At any rate, I wouldn't rule out this incident was intended by the Deep State to either kill Teddy, or frighten him. He had to know his two brothers were murdered by the Deep State, so who knows?

Nope. Even if he didn't know, he did nothing to report the fact that she was in the water. She drowned after several hours. Had he reported the accident she would have survived.

1969
Incident on Chappaquiddick Island

Shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.

On the evening of July 18, 1969, while most Americans were home watching television reports on the progress of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission, Kennedy and his cousin Joe Gargan were hosting a cookout and party at a rented cottage on Chappaquiddick Island, an affluent island near Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. The party was planned as a reunion for Kopechne and five other women, all veterans of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. Bobby Kennedy was Ted Kennedy’s older brother, and following Bobby’s assassination in June 1968 Ted took up his family’s political torch. In 1969, Ted Kennedy was elected majority whip in the U.S. Senate, and he seemed an early front-runner for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination.

Just after 11 p.m., Kennedy left the party with Kopechne, by his account to drive to the ferry slip where they would catch a boat back to their respective lodgings in Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. While driving down the main roadway, Kennedy took a sharp turn onto the unpaved Dike Road, drove for a short distance, and then missed the ramp to a narrow wooden bridge and drove into Poucha Pond. Kennedy, a married man, claimed the Dike Road excursion was a wrong turn. However, both he and Kopechne had previously driven down the same road, which led to a secluded ocean beach just beyond the bridge. In addition, Kopechne had left both her purse and room key at the party.

Kennedy escaped the car and then dove down in an attempt to retrieve Kopechne from the sunken Oldsmobile.

Interesting spin

But I ain’t buying it

Yeah...I guess you never heard of the Deep State or are so foolish that you believe your wonderful benevolent government would never harm anyone.

So drunk drivers aren't responsible for the deaths they cause? Is that really the line the Kennedy crime family really wants to push?

Oh, wow. We're supposed to buy your hogwash "because Deep State".

At least two other men went back to the site of the crash with Kennedy in an attempt to recover Kopechne.

If Teddy didn't know she was in the car, then that would not have occurred.

Idiot.

 

[Desperado]

Sounds like someone is pushing for a book deal.
Don't buy a word of it

It's from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Not politics, conspiracy theory.

 

[rightwinger]

Teddy was in Kenya at the time

Well yeah but Huck was in it. Great book and a target of the social justice loons. But I'm a fan of Twain

 

[Witchit]

With Donald Trump. That's why Obama says Trump hates him, there was an incident in Kenya when they were young.
