REVEALED: New York Attorney General approved Harvey Weinstein deal under which he wouldn't pay his victims a penny - despite vowing not to

New York State Attorney General Letitia James signed off on a Harvey Weinstein settlement deal that included terms she supposedly promised victims' attorney wouldn't be included. The settlement deal that James approved was negotiated by lawyer Elizabeth Fegan, acting on behalf of multiple Weinstein accusers and is now off the table after it was rejected by Manhattan Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein on July 14. In his decision, Hellerstein called the deal 'obnoxious' and said that Fegan 'was wasting (her) time.'

They’re protecting themselves as much as Weinstein.

If Weinstein had been a friend of Trumps instead of a friend of Hillary he would have already been sent to the chair.

what a world.

dirty AG’s funded by the NAZI George Soros and Maxwell’s
money operate in King Emmet Sullivan’s world of
dirty blackrobes, each sworn to continue Operation Paperclip,
to expand Soros/WHO’s/Xi’s NWO, and to protect
and maintain sex trafficking and eating tortured babies
to fund the whole thing.

Take them all down, Gen. Flynn. All of them.

I despise Weinstein as much as the next guy but the majority of women who used their bodies as a stepping stone in their careers are no victims.

He’s going to need a bigger gun.

And an attorney general that’s ready to throw down.

And a president to back him up.

Wow what an important election

“...but the majority of women who used their bodies as a stepping stone in their careers are no victims.”

That majority you speak of in fact IS the majority of women who learn at an early age that the proper use of T&A will get them what they want.

I am ok with this because I understand the game. But what totally disgusts me is when they don’t get what they want and then cry rape of sexual harassment in an attempt to “get back” at the guy who perhaps was a bit to smart for them.

I was taught while growing up to respect women. Hold the door for them, watch your language around them, give them a compliment if you think it is warranted (nice dress etc)protect them from harm if possible.

That is all gone now and I treat women as I would a man since they want to be equal.

Yes, but he, and people like him, set the rules under which those types of ‘career enhancing’ actions were required. The whole industry seems to be a cesspool.

It's the loony world of The New Left. Trump has driven them and their media insane. They know it's the last chance to take down America in a generation.

The next few months are not going to be pretty. My advice to those in the Democratic cities is to Flee. To those in the Suburbs, to be Vigilant. And to those in the Countryside to keep on Praying for America.

God may yet grant repentance and national revival in America. He has done it before. We must turn from our wicked ways and turn back to Him. Otherwise He is just to leave us to our just deserts. God Help us!
