The New Yorker is out with its big piece on Harvey Weinstein, and it’s bad. Really, really bad:
New Yorker: 13 women tell @RonanFarrow of their accusations agst Harvey Weinstein; Farrow reports 3 allege rape https://t.co/cFqcspKTSy

But on top of the rape allegations, the New Yorker posted audio from a NYPD sting in 2015 after an Italian model and actress accused Weinstein of groping her.
This is really hard to listen to:

The Manhattan DA, Cyrus Vance, Jr., did not prosecute:
NYPD had this tape & Manhattan DA, who received $ from Weinstein's lawyer, didn't prosecute. Stinks to high heaven. https://t.co/UXwOfiujeT

Although, according to the New Yorker, investigators had “collected more than enough evidence” to prosecute:

From what I’ve read, a NYT reporter named Sharon Waxman had the big expose written and ready to run in 2004 but Weinstein put the pressure on and got all the sexual harassment stuff pulled out of the article. She quit and started “The Wrap” but the story was out there as were rumors that his brother was pushing it to get control of the company. Some other media outlets were planning to run with it (Page Six for one) and finally the NYT realized it would either have to get ahead of the story or end up explaining why it had been sitting on it for over a decade.
Now they’ll expect to get a pass but will they? Time will tell, but without a doubt the NYT has been as complicit as any other entity in covering up Weinsteins evil deeds for decades.
FALSE.
Trump said "they would LET powerful/rich men grab them by the (genitals)". He never said he could or would or did do it.
Is this the son of Jimmy Carter SecState Cyrus Vance?
I just heard this on Rush. What a sicko.. begging and pleading, swearing on his children.
“I just heard this on Rush. What a sicko.. begging and pleading, swearing on his children.”
The DA, Cyrus Vance, had this tape.
The DA, Cyrus Vance, refused to look into it.
The DA, Cyrus Vance, received $10K shortly thereafter.

“Now they’ll expect to get a pass but will they?”
Well, the got a pass from 2004 until now.
They got a pass for 13 years!
Explaining?? Or maybe, jail time to do?
Isn't this pretty much the definition of bribery?!?
You do realize I was being facetious, right?
Only a really great actress can take a total stinker of a role and make it believable.
That would have been a tough audition on his couch.
It was only at the end, when it all came out, that I realized how truly great an actor Rock Hudson was.
“You do realize I was being facetious, right?”
I thought it was too close also, and I wasn’t sure.
That was the voice transcription.
I also saw that and I groaned immediately.
I hate that error, especially their and they’re and there, those idiots.
But my apologies, still.
Jeff?
Jeff?
Wake up!!
I was sure the “saying is a lot worse than doing” part would give it away.
Here's an accurate quote:
"I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."
“I was sure the “saying is a lot worse than doing” part would give it away.”
Yes, that is what gave it away, a but subtle, but I did get it.
But first - if they think he's down - they'll all pile on him... and damage him as much as possible.
It's the 'liberal way'...
It’s a really uncomfortable bit of audio
