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)'.

Money and power are the only possible reasons why any woman would allow that disgusting pig to get within 50 yards of her.

Was a friend of the predatory Clintons.

There was a big blowup. We all discussed it.

“Crooked Claims About Clinton
Four-time convicted felon falsely accuses Clinton in video viewed by millions.

By Viveca Novak

Posted on January 18, 2008 | Updated on February 8, 2008

Summary
In a video that has logged millions of views on the Internet since early October, Peter Paul, a felon who helped produce a gala fundraiser for the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign, makes a number of false or misleading charges against the presidential contender and former First Lady. Among them:

The video gives the false impression that the Clintons somehow caused Paul to be investigated for securities fraud as retaliation for a lawsuit he filed against them. But the investigation – and Paul’s indictment – came first.

A lawyer appearing on the video claims that a telephone conversation between Paul, Hillary Clinton and others shows that she had knowledge of and perpetrated illegal campaign activities, when the conversation illustrates no such thing. It only shows Hillary thanking organizers of a fundraiser.

The same lawyer alleges that the actions of Clinton and those working for her amounted to “the largest fraud in election funding history,” a claim that is absurd. The campaign was fined for a reporting violation, not “fraud.” And the fine was relatively modest compared with other FEC fines.
The video makes deceptive use of an ABC “20/20” clip in an effort to prove that the Clintons pretended not to know who Paul was after his criminal past came to light.
