Ok, so this is what seems to be happening, looking at the order of events with some inductive reasoning:
Dominique Strauss-Kahn is suddenly arrested on the testimony of a hotel maid. (perhaps totally made up charge?)
The state department comes to Kahn in jail, tells him that they want him to resign, or they will make these charges stick. They want to put their own person in his place as head of the IMF.
He goes ahead and agrees, knowing that they could ruin his life, and resigns right away. (I had thought this was a weird move for a man who is proclaiming his innocence)
They announce the new head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, (who started out as part of the same Chicago legal/political machine as the present US administration), on the 29th.
The 2 days later, with the deal now completed, the charges are suddenly being dropped because of the "credibility" of the maid's testimony, and Kahn is released.
Kahn walks away with his life intact, and the trumpted up charges dropped, and the US government gets who they want as head of the IMF
