Hillary Clinton defended her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, saying there was no way to know that he was an alleged serial sex predator at the time.
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the former secretary of state was asked whether she regretted her ties to the disgraced filmmaker, who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 80 women.
“How could we have known? He raised money for me, for the Obamas, for Democrats in general,” Clinton said in the interview published Tuesday. “And that at the time was something that everybody thought made sense. And of course, if all of us had known what we know now, it would have affected our behavior.”
Weinstein had been a longtime donor to Democratic candidates and even held a fundraiser for Clinton during her 2016 presidential run.
On Wednesday, the first day of his rape trial in Manhattan, prosecutors showed jurors a photo of the movie mogul “rubbing elbows” with former President Bill Clinton.
The move prompted the defense to call for a mistrial, saying the chummy pic was “100% irrelevant and has nothing to do with sex crimes.” The judge denied the request.
After bombshell allegations of decades of sexual misconduct emerged against Weinstein in 2017, Hillary Clinton issued a statement saying she was “shocked and appalled” by the revelations.

That’s because he sure as Hell wasn’t trying to grope that fat, obnoxious cow.
She also claimed she didn’t know Bill was also a sexual predatory; no one believes her.
Harvey doesn’t like cabbage.
Maybe NBC “news” ought to take a look at this instead of Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz as they are here:

She’s probably disappointed he didn’t want to tag her fat a$$.
Harvey is sitting in a dangerous place, getting between Huma and Hillary...
Harvey is going to walk, and he’ll be back in the good graces of Hollywood.
They only went after him, to try to get Trump.
Nah....She’s disappointed he is sitting where he is and she couldn’t play with Huma’s legs....
Weinstein, like Epstein, hung around with your pervert HINO, you greedy enabler, so that should have given you a clue that he was a rapist too.
I guess her ability to spot sexual predators is broke.
She didn’t know! Nonsense! She knows everything about anyone who can give her money.
NO way harvey would want to jump hillary’s bones, but there’s that semi-cute iranian with a pervert husband. Wondering if hillary offered the old horn dog a little iranian horizontal lambada!
Both Hillary and Harvey are drunk out of their minds.
Other then the dozen or so other things about which I detest this vile woman, re: the “deplorables” comment, she does not have much control over her mouth. This comment gains her something?
Remember, too Pervy Weinstein said he’s making it his mission to destroy the NRA. Why would someone in the situation he’s in say such a thing, HMMMM? The rampant sex abuse and child molestation in the sleazy world of show biz has been a poorly kept dirty little secret for over 100 yrs. No wonder why Weinstein and the overpaid mannequins love to throw their star power behind the gun grabbers. After all, potential sex abuse victims who can shoot back are BAD FOR BUSINESS.
HE’S the least of her worries
If she ain’t running she sure is making a good imitation of candidate preparing to.
She could say the same about her marriage to Bill. And it would ring just as hollow.
REALITY CHECK:
<><>She was a NY Senator, and Secy of State; her husband was president.
<><> a president has the most complete intel apparat at his fingertips; he can find out anything about anybody.
<><> The NY Film School was warning women NOT to take jobs w/ Weinstein;
<><> even in NY 2000 miles from Hollywood, Weinstein's horrendous reputation was known and talked about;
<><> the State Dept compiles detailed reports on sex crimes.
============================================
When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side,
offering hefty donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was —Harvey Weinstein.
Billionaire Harvey Weinstein raised $1,422,683 for federal candidates and political entities between 1990-2016. That’s small potatoes for his 27 years of rank Democratism, sucking up to feminism and upholding so-called abortion rights as he rampaged and assaulted young women. Adds up to about $5300 a year. Something tells me there are a lot of cash payments off-the-record being paid. (hat tip outpostinmass2) Crunching the numbers as outpost did does give us a sharper look at the political money game as played by the conniving Clintons.
Harvey also gave a bundle to the nefarious tax-exempt Clinton Foundation and perhaps to offshoots of the Clintons tax-free entities.
Did Harvey's donations to the C/F go to "do-good projects"? Or did they make a circuitous route?
Maybe landing back into the Clintons eternal political scams?
=======================================
The Democrat glitterati----all the Hollyweirdos---rallied around Clinton to fund his lewinsky sex mess legal defense.
The very same scum that vilify and destroy America's Judeo-Christian ethics and values,
making raunchy movies promoted as being "diverse, politically correct, and socially relevant."
HOLLYWOOD'S CERTIFIED DEMOCRAT DEGENERATES
FINANCED BILL CLINTON'S LEWINSKY SEX MESS
According to FEC Info, an Internet Web site (www.tray.com) that tracks federal political contributions, 176 individual donors actually contributed $10,000 or more to the lewinsky-era Clinton Legal Expense Trust fund through Dec 1999. Another 21 donors gave $10,000 in the first six months of 2000.
Thanks to Hollywood's generosity, a total of more than $2.2 million was raised in six months, which was notably more than was collected in funding during the previous four years of his presidency—combined. Hollywood producers and stars made up the bulk of the most generous givers. They included:
<><> Universal Studios tycoon Lew Wasserman and his wife, Edith, who have given $60,000;
<><>DreamWorks trio Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, $20,000 each;
<><> producer Ron Burkle and his wife, Janet, $40,000;
<><> producers Peg and Bud Yorkin, $30,000;
<><> TV producer Norman Lear, $20,000.
Entertainment celebrities and executives giving $10,000 included:
<><> singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand;
<><> actors Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks;
<><> director Ron Howard; producer Gail Zappa;
<><>Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson.
Does anyone else remember that some of the first criticisms of Weinstein’s behavior was that he didn’t bed black actresses? At the time, it was considered a worse offense.
