Hillary covered up for Weinstein too
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/...inton.html
"... For years, it was an open secret that Weinstein abused women. In Hollywood, they laughed about it at awards shows:
MACFARLANE: Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein.
So they knew. That’s beyond dispute now. Why didn’t they do anything to stop the abuse? Because people like Hillary Clinton helped Weinstein get away with it. Here’s one example: In summer 2017, Ronan Farrow tried to schedule an interview with Hillary for a book he was writing about U.S. foreign policy. Hillary’s publicist, a man called Nick Merrill, warned Farrow outright that a certain “big story” he was working on was, quote, a “concern for us.” In other words, leave Harvey Weinstein alone. Weinstein had been a longtime fundraiser for the Clinton family. Hillary wanted to protect him, no matter how many women he was hurting. A few months later, Weinstein returned Hillary’s favor. He sent an email to NBC executive Deborah Turness, pitching a docu-series about Hillary Clinton. Turness called the idea “absolutely stunning.” That’s not surprising. NBC news was in the tank for Weinstein too. When Farrow began his investigation, he was still an NBC employee. But the company rejected his story, despite the fact he had it nailed. In the end, he took the piece elsewhere and won a Pulitzer Prize. Now, we know why NBC passed on the scoop of the decade. According to Farrow, Weinstein dug up allegations against Today Show host Matt Lauer, and threatened to expose him if they didn’t quash the story. To protect their top talent, NBC let Weinstein get away with it. They’ve been lying about it ever since. Today, NBC has been happy to talk about a brand new allegation against Matt Lauer. In fact, it’s the weakest claim in Farrow’s book, essentially not credible. But for NBC, it’s been a godsend. If they can keep talking about Lauer, maybe no one will notice they covered up for Harvey Weinstein. It may work. Revealing as Farrow’s book is, a lot of this was obvious two years ago. At the time, our sources told us that NBC News president Noah Oppenheim knew all about Weinstein’s behavior, and actively worked to keep it secret:..."
