#1 And he now has very few options for doing the Polanski.

Oscars board revokes Harvey's lifetime membership over sexual harassment scandal meanwhile Woody Allen actress alleges Weinstein RAPED her at her London home as Scotland Yard investigates

Scotland Yard involvement means the European Arrest Warrant could be used.

Kind of limit's Harvey's choices if he wants to "boogie."

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

#5 49 Pan, as someone said, Harvey is not being expelled because they found out about him. He is being expelled because WE found out about him.

#7 So what is the downside of being kicked out of the Academy? He can't vote for the Oscars? There are tons of people making movies that aren't in the Academy, everyone acts like being kicked out is a big deal but it seems primarily symbolic as far as i can tell.

#8 He is being expelled because WE found out about him.

But we found out about him because they decided to release the story. Had the story yet again not been permitted, this discussion would not be happening. He became expendable to someone for some reason.

With Harvey and the Beest in the news, there's hardly any room for anything else. Perhaps that is the intent.

#10 His downside would be less access to premium ladies to abuse.
It is a tactic of cabal's, when one of their own is outed, to cover themselves by putting all their energy into destroying that one. Making that fire burn so bright their is little interest at poking into all the others doing the same thing. Be business as usual in a few weeks for these folks.

#11 So, Dem’s Hollywood cabal gave up one of their own?
