"Of course, these allegations will be categorically denied, because if there’s anything Hillary is better at than losing the presidential election, it’s lying."

Hillary Clinton Implicated in Upcoming Ronan Farrow Book  . . . "Relying on over 200 sources (which were diligently fact checked), Farrow names those who impeded his investigation in any way. Many of those he points at were tied to NBC News– people who were threatened, coerced, and/or bribed by Weinstein to prevent publication and keep private things private. He was often successful.
"One name, however, might not be an obvious Connection– until, that is, you consider how corrupt she is and how many sexual abusers she surrounds herself with. I’m talking about Hillary Clinton, if that’s not already clear. According to the Hollywood Reporter:
. . . "While he does make a very valid point about Weinstein, it seems like it might be too late to prevent Clinton from feeling the backlash– and the book hasn’t even been published yet. Rose McGowan, an actress who was at the head of the #metoo movement, tweeted her condemnation of Clinton, and I doubt she’ll be the last."
I knew that Hillary Clinton’s people, were protecting the Monster. I can’t believe I used to support her. I guess predators are her style. https://t.co/rzWUoV1Nf4 via @thr
. . . "Hillary’s crimes and general grossness are catching up with her, and she’s running out of places to run. The Hollywood elite may well find themselves in a position where they either continue to chase whatever benefits a good relationship with the Clintons give them, or withdraw their support in the hopes of avoiding the career-ending cancellation that seems to be looming over the horizon for them." . . .
Farrow
Hillary Clinton’s Publicist Told Ronan Farrow His Weinstein Exposé Was a ‘Concern’ for Clinton: REPORT  "In his new book on the Harvey Weinstein sexual-assault scandal, journalist Ronan Farrow has revealed that Hillary Clinton’s publicist, Nick Merrill, contacted him and attempted to pressure him into dropping the Weinstein story, at what he apparently alleges was Weinstein’s behest. 
"Farrow writes in the book that he received a call from Merrill, who told him that the Weinstein story he was working on was “a concern for” Clinton, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He goes on to reveal that Weinstein proposed making a documentary series on Clinton to NBC, Farrow’s employer." . . .

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators
"In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
"In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance they could not explain -- until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood to Washington and beyond.
"This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.
"Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook our culture."

Ronan Farrow says NBC journalists "anguished" by execs' "lies" about sex assault allegations  . . . "Appearing on "CBS This Morning" Monday, Farrow defended his work. "This book is an extraordinarily meticulously fact-checked work of investigative journalism," he said. "We're very confident in it.' " . . .
