Big scoop from @jcassano & @davidsirota: As NY Gov. Cuomo suspended his probe into Harvey Weinstein sexual assault case, he took in a big donation from Weinstein's attorney's firm. @readsludge @capitalandmain readsludge.com/2018/08/29/cuo…
@jcassano @davidsirota @readsludge @capitalandmain "Cuomo’s office did not respond to questions about the contribution from Boies and whether it impacted the decision to suspend the investigation." readsludge.com/2018/08/29/cuo…
This comes after Jay and David reported extensively on Boies' donation to Manhattan DA Cy Vance, who had decided not to prosecute Weinstein, likely inspiring this Cuomo probe in the first place. ibtimes.com/political-capi…

Florida judge says Rick Scott's legal team presented NO evidence of malfeasance or corruption in the Florida ballot count.

They went to court with zero evidence of what they're publicly alleging to the media & all over social media.
Amazing: Rick Scott's team's argument is that "the public has lost confidence" in the process.

Scott & other Republicans have been making evidence-free claims about Dems trying to steal the election **w/ obvious purpose of diminishing public confidence**
This is one of the suits filed by Scott— seeks to seize voting machines and ballots from Broward County *as votes are being counted.* Scott, Trump, Ron DeSantis, Lindsey Graham & other shameful Repubs have falsely claimed Dems are stealing the election by creating fake ballots.

The day after the election, not a single caravan mention on Fox News' front page. You have to scroll WAY down to mind the only mention: in the World section.
At the white supremacist Breitbart, NOT ONE story on the caravan.
Gateway Pundit? NOTHING on the caravan. Compare today (L) with a site search of "caravan" (R) which includes one from yesterday.

So it appears that Manafort's associate illegally used a "straw purchaser" to buy $50k worth of Trump inauguration tickets for at least 2, probably 3, pro-Russia Ukrainians.
ok, so one Russian in fact.
And note this, uh, fairly large sum of mystery money.

Interesting Oct story I missed: FBI looking at Manhattan DA Cy Vance Jr's office over potential undue influence in handling of cases: sources - including why Vance didn't pursue charges against Weinstein and Ivanka & Don Jr (re Trump Soho) by @shaynajacobs nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…
A lawyer hired by Weinstein gave Vance $24,000 and another attorney sent $10,000 after the decision to spare Weinstein an arrest.

Marc Kasowitz, gave Vance $25,000 and another $32,000 was donated after the office declined to prosecute Ivanka & Trump Jr.

Sexual assault is still an unfortunate by product of working in sex work and porn.

You can still get sexually assaulted on a feminist or ethical porn set.

Being ethical doesn't absolve you or automatically protect you from this "safety" of assault.

peachjournal.com/2018/10/11/rom…
"An article by Jezebel written by Tracy Clark-Flory denounces the lax attitudes of the French filmmaker Olympe de G. on several shootings produced by #ErikaLust.

...This is the reason why I wanted to talk with Romy about this notion of essential ethics in this industry."
She tells me that on a shoot she said she did not want any heterosexual relationship, simulated or not. Her character is a pretty shy girl, in love with a woman. No reason to end up facing the penis. Overall, this kind of event does not necessarily tarnish the overall performance

And the story has advanced: "Cuomo Received $25,000 From Weinstein Lawyer’s Firm as He Suspended Probe" capitalandmain.com/cuomo-received…
The $25k donation from Weinstein's lawyer came in 6 days before Cuomo's office ordered the AG to suspend the investigation. buzzfeednews.com/article/albert…
As @jcassano & @davidsirota note in their story: "That suspension effectively shields Boies from scrutiny of any potential relationship between his 2015 donation to Vance and Vance’s decision not to prosecute Weinstein." readsludge.com/2018/08/29/cuo…

NY Gov Cuomo pardons over 70 sex offenders who will now be able to vote in the 2018 midterms. One sex offender, a seriel rapist known as the 'voodoo rapist' forced victims to undergo sexual voodoo rituals with him.

In an attempt to gain voters, Cuomo provided 24,086 conditional pardons to convicted felons, 70 of whom are sex offenders.

It is rumoured that Cuomo may throw his hat in the ring for a 2020 presidential run. And I suppose pardoning convicted felons, including sexual predators, is how he plans to gain votes.
