What caused you to excerpt your own material rather than posting the whole thing?
EXCERPT/HOLLYWOOD REPORTER----After a breathtaking number of women (84 and counting) have spoken loudly and powerfully in recent weeks to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, the producer faces prison sentences, a harried sale of assets and restitution for victims........and bankruptcy.
<><> CIVIL ACTION The Weinstein Co. has been hit with a $5 million negligence claim from an actress in Los Angeles. Another $4 million suit in Canada — from an anonymous actress — asserts infliction of emotional distress by Harvey Weinstein, one of his assistants and The Weinstein Co. (and also targets Disney, which once owned Miramax).
<><> CRIMINAL ACTION---How (and Where) Harvey Weinstein Might Go to Jail--- Sources close to Harvey say those emails are needed to show that some of his accusers may have enticed him and maybe even thanked him for wonderful liaisons.
That sort of strategy will hardly win over detractors — others, like Bill O'Reilly, who have been accused of misdeeds, haven't swayed opinion by promulgating selfies and thank-you notes from their alleged victims — but it's at least an attempt to sow doubt in the minds of prosecutors contemplating criminal charges.
NOTE Emails also might be used to show complicity on the part of Conyers and Franken's colleagues.
Thank you once again for excerpting.

So, here is what I have learned about Republican Congressional investigations:
They are a scam used to sound tough and meaningful to a once gullible public. The investigations go on and on with the committee chair occasionally making dramatic and thunderous statements on TV to enhance the illusion of progress. All the while the game really is for the kabuki committee to buy time so that the crime and the people involved can weather the storm of immediate media attention. Once the scandal attention has waned, and the coast is clear, nothing is ever really done, and no one hears much about it except for some whitewashed committee report somewhere.
With the storm weathered, the matter is quietly dropped and the case is closed with nothing ever done. Same story over and over.
The bright side is they are crippling their efforts to express “moral outrage” over the 40 years ago fake allegations against Moore...
