EXCLUSIVE: FBI opens investigation into Harvey Weinstein on orders from Trump's Justice Department
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 10/11/2017 3:18:13 PM PDT by TigerClaws

The FBI has opened an investigation into Harvey Weinstein, DailyMail.com has exclusively learned.

DailyMail.com understands the move came at the behest of the Department of Justice, run by Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which instructed the bureau to investigate the mounting allegations leveled at the movie mogul.

While it is unknown whether the DOJ order came directly from Sessions, the move is likely to be seen in a political light given Weinstein's friendship with Trump foe Hillary Clinton.

The move by the DOJ came amid rumors that Weinstein plans to head to Europe for sex rehab – leading to fears of a Roman Polanski-style situation where he dodges prosecution in the U.S.

The FBI can both look at whether he has committed any federal crimes in the U.S. and prepare extradition proceedings if he remains in Europe.

Among the allegations against Weinstein, which the FBI is expected to examine, is that he forced Lucia Evans, a student who wanted to be an actress, to perform oral sex on him in New York in 2004.

New York State has no statue of limitations on rape and criminal sexual acts - its legal term for forced oral or anal intercourse.

Woo Hoo!! I read this morning that he’d hired a criminal defense attorney, and he’s also hired some woman lawyer to go after the accusers. This is right out of the Clinton handbook. When Bill ran for President, the Clinton’s had Washington attorney Susan Thomases take care of the “bimbo eruptions.” They went with the nuts and sluts defense as I believe Harvey’s going for too.

This makes me believe even more that Trump had something to do with this.

Go Trump go!

If the Feds are involved they must think that there's some kind of fraud involved.Sex crimes aren't Federal crimes...unless he brought someone across state lines for “immoral purposes”.

LOL. The FBI has been operating in a political light to favor the Clinton and Obama crews for many years.

Fixing the Hillary email and destruction of evidence case, quashing investigations into Clinton Foundation pay-to-play, surveillance of Trump campaign based on phony Russia dossier, letting Lois Lerner skate, not examining the DNC server, Seth Rich, etc etc.

Ah, the investigation of the slime mold Harvey gross boy is political.
The investigations by Dorkbama’s corrupt IRS, corrupt FBI, and inept fishing special prosecutors is not.

The MSM is out of the closet, nude, bent over in the Dorkbama position, fat, ugly, and putrid.
