A lawyer for a former cocktail waitress questioned Gov. Jim Gibbons under oath for a lawsuit alleging Gibbons orchestrated a cover-up after the woman accused him of grabbing her outside a bar in 2006.
Aides to lawyers on both sides said Friday's deposition was conducted behind closed doors at the federal courthouse in Las Vegas.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen resolved a dispute between the two sides Thursday, by picking the downtown courthouse as a neutral and secure site.
Robert Kossack represents Chrissy Mazzeo. She accuses Gibbons of accosting her outside a Las Vegas restaurant after a night drinking with friends in October 2006.
Gibbons, a Republican congressman at the time, was campaigning for governor.
Mazzeo alleges she was retaliated against when she went public shortly before Gibbons' election.

Get him, Chrissy!!
I wonder if Gym told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help him God...
ya think?????
I doubt that she'll win.
Where is the water from all the Rain Gibbo and Sig were trying to avoid? Gibbons and his officer and a gentlemen story just don't jive. Come on Dawn add your two cents. I am sure you would love to see your ex in an orange jumpsuit.
please, can someone give this golddigger $100,000 to just go away?
And Mr Gibbons walks the straight and narrow?
The cocktail server must have miles & miles of video tape to help prove her case seeings how there were so many video cameras in the area she claims to have been raped.
Not Jim "The Grabber" Gibbons, he wouldn't do something like that. YEAH RIGHT!
Always quick to call someone else a name and speak dereogatorally about them which is typical of a hypocritical politician, especially the Republican kind.
He needs to be defeated this election, he's a big reason Nevada is in the financial shape it's in.
GUV Deposed!!
What's wrong with a little axshun?
Funny.. some goofball here thinks Gibbons created the recession. Well using that twisted logic, and Dina Titus as the Governor then my house would be worth another $200,000 and unemployment would be around 4%? Right?
I just mentally accosted her. Twice.
do you think the little gibbons monkey scolded our president in his deposition???
hee hee hee...
hoo hoo hoo...
haa haa haa...
Birdie....is everything OK.....you don't post as much and they are much smaller than usual.
That who Mass. Senate race did not get you down????????
I like how the comments turn towards each other rather than the topic of the story. This turns out to be a venue where people can trade insults with each other without doing it face to face, must be the little man syndrome. Gibbons will have his day in court, the people demand it. This is just one of the nails in his coffin in his political career, he is finished in Nevada after the election too bad he can't see that.
Picture 1 and 2 shows Chrissy got a big rack on her. No wonder why Gibbons chased that, I would have, but then I'm not the governor of this state.
They are showing the pics of her rack because thats where Glbbons set his drink while fondling the gold digger...Thats why shes suing,, he tried to put his cigar in the ashtray and it was only a stubbie...
That's a Republican for ya, always thinking with their heads !
Alas, Nevada's worthless joke of a governor. I hope he's not earning his salary while he was at this legal proceeding. He should write an apology letter to the citizens of Nevada for his failure to do his job and for being part of why Nevada has become the laughing stock of the country that I was the first president of. Time to vote out dems and republicans Nevadans. Partisanship is what I warned of when I left off in 1797. Maybe try voting non partisan. See where partisan politics has gotten our country? No more need to be said!!!!!!!!!
Governor "blockhead" is a short timer...Once November comes & goes, Gibby will have all kinds of time to chase cocktail waitress's and party with his right-wing friends.
The state GOP would love it if "blockhead" decided not to run for re-election, and instead, just quietly disappeared into the desert never to be seen again....Of course, that isn't going to happen!
On second thought, maybe Gibby and our beloved junior senator, Johnnie Ensign, should join forces and write a book about their exploits as politicians.....the book might be entitled "Wetting The Wick While On Government Payroll.."
She has offered zero direct evidence of any cover-up just theory....no witness....no paper trail...no recordings..nothing...nada...all she is offering is "I think they did it"....
How can the judge let the case proceed this far?
Can I accuse Harry Reid of something and then get to sit him down in a chair for hours and ask him all kinds of questions?
After all the depositions and there is still zero direct evidence of a cover-up...just theory...hopefully the judge should toss out the case.
To bad, we will never find out who is funding the lawyers fees for lady.
