Harvey Weinstein used his close friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton to 'intimidate' his victims into doing what he told them, a court heard Wednesday.

The once-powerful Hollywood producer, 67, would call the former president, 73, while he was in front of at least one of his accusers and talked to him 'every other day', Weinstein's rape and sexual assault trial was told.

The first witness in the case, Lance Maerov, said Weinstein 'made no secret of the fact he was connected to very powerful people', in particular the Clintons. Maerov, a former director at The Weinstein Co, Weinstein's film company, added: 'He'd tell me (about them)'.

between this guy and Epstein, imagine the blackmail material they had on public figures

[chris37]

Two arch villains.

Disgusting.

[waterhill]

Weinstein did not kill himself...

[cloudmountain]

I think the media will go to the mat to defend this pathetic person. We are all sinners but some are MUCH worse than others,
One wonders if he even HAS a conscience.

[SauronOfMordor]

Considering what happened to people who crossed the Clintons, this was an effective threat: “I’m friends with people who can destroy your life, on a whim.”

May be 3 of them live...forever.

yet....

[Pining_4_TX]

Once again, British papers doing the job American papers won’t do.

[SauronOfMordor]

Weinstein was probably a valuable source of blackmail information on celebrities, for the Deep State.

“Weinstein did not kill himself...”

Yep.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Geez I hope not. I hope he’s safe and secure and stays alive.

On the other hand, I would not be shocked if he ends up dead, and the powers that be announced a suicide.

News on FatHarv Sure went down the rabbit hole quickly

[olesigh]

be patient

[laplata]

“Weinstein was probably a valuable source of blackmail information on celebrities, for the Deep State”.

Weinstein and Epstein were probably best friends.

[DoughtyOne]

I suspect they both were.

Who knows what they had on Roberts for instance? I can’t say for sure they did have something, but his actions sure cause one to contemplate the possibility.

FYI, John Rob removed the headline length restriction some time ago.

America could defeat Nazis and Hitler and Bath and Hussein but we can’t defeat Clinton Inc. and Weinstein?

One of the buried stories of the Clinton-lewinsky era is how Hollywood came to Clinton's rescue. Harvey Weinstein loomed large in this.

REFERENCE---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.

======================================

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?
