Geraldo Rivera applauds Bill Cosby's release after being 'unjustly convicted,' suggests Weinstein could be next
[Washington Examiner] Geraldo Rivera approved of Bill Cosby's release from prison after "grotesquely unfair" proceedings, adding that Harvey Weinstein may be next.

Rivera, an attorney, said he wrote a note to himself in 2018 describing Cosby as a "sexual predator who left a trail of human misery and despair" while predicting that "his conviction will be overturned" because the judge "went way over the line in allowing unrelated victim testimony."

"What they did to this guy was mob justice," he said on Fox News's America Reports with John Roberts and Sandra Smith. "First of all, the former state [district attorney] promised that they would not bring a criminal case against him if he testified in a civil deposition. That was an express agreement that he had with the former district attorney. That's No. 1. No. 2, to bring in five unrelated victims to testify against him was so grotesquely unfair that it just seemed to me that this was mob justice."

"How is he going to get back these two years that he has lost?" Rivera asked, adding, "This never should have happened."

When asked by John Roberts about how the accusers will get a sense of justice, Rivera said, "Our hearts go out to these victims."

#1 So basically Cosby testified in civil suit and paid off alleged victims, with agreement that his testimony could not be used against him in criminal court, but it was. Unfair, and I guess it's reasonable he got released, but still... nothing shows he was not guilty of actually being the creepy predator he was accused of. (Like Lance Armstrong, a public person I once really admired.)

#4 Rittenhouse, that brave brave kid. True American hero. More so than the GI JOEs just following orders and padding their jobs.

#7 Nope, Epstein had too much dirt on the Ruling Elite. he was suicided for a good reason.

Besides Joe and Hunter Biden can facilitate, if not directly supply, all the underage girls and boys they could ever want via the Biden open sex-trafficking border policy...
