After the verdict was announced, Weinstein was handcuffed and is being sent to jail. He will be sentenced on Wednesday, March 11.
The case against Weinstein was based on three allegations: rape of an aspiring actress in a New York City hotel room in 2013, forcibly performing oral sex on another woman at his apartment in 2006, and rape and forcibly performing oral sex on Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra in her apartment in the mid-1990s.
Weinstein was arrested after more than 90 women came forward and accused him of sexual harassment and sexual assault in 2017. Many of the women’s claims about the Hollywood mogul had already reached the statute of limitations and thus he could not face charges from those accusations. In addition to dismantling his career in film, the public allegations helped spur the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to speak out about their experiences with sexual harassment or assault.
Enter Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House Counsel, repeatedly discussed on the “short list” for Attorney General. There is mounting evidence that she should just be renamed “The Fixer” — the Olivia Pope for this president. Mr. Obama reposes great trust in Ms. Ruemmler; he has applauded her “impeccable legal judgment,” and still considers a “close personal friend.” But yesterday, Ms. Ruemmler was all over the front page of the Washington Post—this time, in the Cartagena sex scandal cover-up.
Of course, all the lies and cover-ups trace back to the desk at which a man once sat who said “The Buck stops here”—the desk in the Oval Office. According to Mr. Obama, those involved in the “Hookergate” scandal were just “a couple of knuckleheads” in the Secret Service.
Wait, that sounds familiar. Oh yes, the IRS targeting of conservative political groups was just “a couple of boneheads” in the Cincinnati office of the IRS, and there wasn’t a “smidgeon of corruption” in Mr. Obama’s IRS.
Anyone still buying that must have been comatose for the last several months, during which we learned of the ever increasing number of computer crashes, and that the IRS deliberately destroyed Lois Lerner’s blackberry—a fact the IRS tried to hide from federal judge Emmet G. Sullivan. These developments may have a role to play in Mr. Holder’s departure—the real reasons for which I believe are yet to surface.

NIKK...Interesting article. One perspective.
I clicked on that link just in time to watch President Trump’s speech. 125,000 in attendance I believe they said. What a welcome!
I always tear up when I hear..”You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

I was very disappointed in him coming out and dissing Trump on national media who after all was his boss.
But I know too little about Coats to make an informed decision as to him being DS or not.
>>>Hope the pain is much less for the tooth extraction now.
I just came back from a follow-up appointment. doing good. Stitches are not yet dissolved. And still, have a little headache. It will go away.
I am doing good. Lost 3 lbs. I am happy.
Today, our Nation lost a Great American Space pioneer, the original #HiddenFigure, Katherine G. Johnson. In the face of adversity & racial discrimination, she made incalculable contributions to America’s Space program and pushed the frontier of human knowledge by her brilliance. pic.twitter.com/ca6p0t4sRZ— Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) February 24, 2020
Karen and I send our deepest sympathies to her daughters Joylette and Kathy, who I met just last week at @NASA_Langley, and her entire family. America will never forget or fail to honor the life and legacy of #HiddenFigure Katherine G. Johnson. pic.twitter.com/R4zOqemWJu— Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) February 24, 2020

Sidney Powell on the job exposing “the business as usual” in the Obummer administration.
Will these lying lawbreaking peeps ever be brought to justice?
I see all the time on twitter the dims proclaiming NO scandals in O’s administration.
Must have had to buy a 8 years supply of blinders.
It's a great song. Amazing The Stones are still going strong & touring (not to mention alive).
Wonderful reception!
So the jump from China to Italy and Iran is a bit stunning and frankly unexpected. What was the route or mechanism of transmission to “leapfrog” an entire continent? Iran doesn’t have porous borders like America (under Democrats) has. A bit suspect, no? https://t.co/VQfjaNOpSr— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) February 24, 2020
