I gave up hope after Trump's "grab em by the pussy" comment did not stop him from getting elected.
He's 84 and served almost 3 years of a 3 to 10 sentence.
What?? How is this possible?
According to The New York Times’s Emily Steel (a coauthor of many of the paper’s earlier O’Reilly investigations), newly released settlement agreements between O’Reilly and ex-producer Andrea Mackris and Rebecca Gomez Diamond, a former Fox Business Network host, reveal the women “were required to turn over all evidence [of sexual harassment], including audio recordings and diaries, to Mr. O’Reilly. In addition, Ms. Mackris was required to disclaim the materials ‘as counterfeit and forgeries’ if they ever became public.” Or as that’s known in plain English, to flat-out lie.
The agreements, including a $3.25 million settlement with Diamond, also confirm the previously reported detail that O’Reilly tapped private investigators to dig up dirt on Mackris (presumably to be used against her) and that, as part of the settlement, the investigators agreed to destroy that information. Shockingly, the new documents also show that a Mackris attorney switched sides in the middle of the legal battle in order to work for O’Reilly—widely considered to be a conflict of interest in the legal community, given the intimate knowledge the attorneys had on the accusers.
New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges, a stunning reversal in the foundational case of the #MeToo era.
In a 4-3 decision, the New York Court of Appeals found that the trial judge who presided over Mr. Weinstein’s case had made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.
Citing that decision and others it identified as errors, the appeals court determined that Mr. Weinstein, who as a movie producer had been one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, had not received a fair trial. The four judges in the majority wrote that Mr. Weinstein was not tried solely on the crimes he was charged with, but instead for much of his past behavior.
Now it will be up to the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg — already in the midst of a trial against former President Donald J. Trump — to decide whether to seek a retrial of Mr. Weinstein.
How so? It was the judge's mistake.Really lends an air of his confidence to properly prosecute the flimsy Trump charges.
Lol. Flimsy.Really lends an air of his confidence to properly prosecute the flimsy Trump charges.
