[FoxNews] The Clinton Foundation will not return as much as $250,000 in donations from disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein following the accusations of sexual harassment and rape.
The foundation said Sunday that donations, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, have already been spent on projects, The Daily Mail reported.
The move to keep the money was expected following tweets from the foundation's spokesman Craig Minassian.
"Suggesting @ClintonFdn return funds from our 330,000+ donors ignores the fact that donations have been used to help people across the world," Minassian wrote on Twitter.

The calls to return Weinstein's money were prompted after multiple actresses have come forward and accused the Hollywood executive of sexual assault and rape, forcing numerous politicians and organization to grapple with the dilemma.
Dozens Democratic Party politicians – including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Sen. Al Franken, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Cory Booker – have pledged to donate their Weinstein's contributions to charities focused on women's rights.
Hillary Clinton echoed her former colleagues, saying she was "shocked and appalled" after the sexual harassment allegations were revealed about Weinstein, who hosted fundraisers for her in the past and donated more than $46,000 to her recent presidential campaign and other election efforts.
"What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they're going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that," she said on CNN. "I give 10% of my income to charity every year, this will be part of that. There's no – there's no doubt about it." Seems Clinton is keeping her promise to "donate" the money to "charity".

Virtue signaling. No need for any of that with the Clinton's.

Why should they? You seem to forget the lack of any moral basis other than money laundering for the institution. Did they give back the Russian money?

She has managed to turn a single lost election into hundreds of losses over nearly a year, and shows every intention of continuing to lose until someone turns off her mic.
[FREEBEACON] House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... (D., Calif.) continues to face criticism from within the Democratic Party, and Sunday she gave herself a little bit of self-promotion.
Rep. Linda Sanchez (D., Calif.) has been a vocal critic of Pelosi and last week said it is "time to pass the torch" in Democratic Party leadership. Pelosi told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that she has promoted "a great array of talent" in the party and said she still accomplishes a lot in the House of Representatives.
"I think I’m a great politician, I know the budget," Pelosi said. "Self-promotion is a terrible thing but clearly somebody has to do it."

Actuellement: Promoting yourself is all about how we live, and in a broader picture, it's how about things get done in a vibrant economy.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Ohio Gov. John Kasich ...political has-been current Republican governor of Ohio... refused to rule out a run for president in 2020 as a Republican primary challenger to President Trump. Didn't he do that last election?
When asked by Chuck Todd ‐ host of NBC's "Meet The Press" ‐ if he was going to run in 2020 against Trump, Kasich demurred.
"I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow," he said. "I will tell you this ‐ the other day, my wife said to me one morning, 'You know, John, I wish you were the president.' That's how I knew the country was in trouble."

Has anybody told him it would help to win Ohio?
The world isn't working as anticipated, so the poor man must vent before his brains boil in his skull.
[MadWorldNews] Well, Bobby De Niro has a lot of explaining to do. De Niro owns several swanky restaurants, one of which is called the Tribeca Grill. Jade Bukowski worked for De Niro at Tribeca Grill from July 2016 to January 2017, and she has now revealed that it was De Niro who was acting as a pimp, providing Harvey Weinstein after-hours access to the Tribeca Grill.
Weinstein used the Tribeca Grill as the place where he would lure young actresses looking to make it big in Hollywood, and once there, he would force them to do sex acts. Of course, De Niro knew, and sometimes he was even present. In an exclusive piece for the New York Post, Jade Bukowski wrote, "The ritual for his rendezvous was very firm. Champagne, caviar, and an unspoken rule [from De Niro] that Weinstein and his date not be disturbed. The pair would sit close, whispering and touching each other suggestively. After dining, Weinstein and the woman would often disappear for a while, exiting the restaurant through a side door."

All of the entertainment industry is corrupt like this. Filled with rapists and pedophiles. I will be happy to see the lot of them out of work and out of money.

Out of one side of his mouth, the author uses the word force. Out of the other side of his mouth, the author talks about whispering and suggestive behavior. Which is it?
Harvey would whisper for a while and then if the aspiring actress would willingly submit, he would take. Or if she was less willingly, various degrees of force, including verbal extortion ('you won't get a job in this town unless...').
of course Harvey wanted sex with grown women. Others in Hollywood were pedophiles - the latter is what I'm waiting to see be exposed.

Washington is Hollyweird for ugly people. Both are operated upon the principles of prostitution and pimping. At least give the 'adult' industry in the Valley creds for being honest about it.

I heard he was thinking about making another mob movie with Al Pacino. Good. That'll give me a chance to not watch it.

Hollyweird is completely addicted to being just as it has been since the days of Fatty Arbuckle. Old guys like DeNiro are not going to accept that "the good old days" are over. Considering that actors will all be replaced by CGI in the next 5-10 years, the smart money in Hollyweird will sit back and wait.

The Internet and the cellphone/microphone/video cam has altered the public arena. Keeping a secret or asserting that "I never said THAT!"™ becomes nearly impossible... And they haven't realized it.
