As TGP reported back in August — popular conservative Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted at her home just after 1 AM in the morning.

“Swatting” is the action or practice of making a prank call to emergency services in an attempt to bring about the dispatch of a large number of armed police officers to a particular address.

This is a dangerous prank used by the American left against their political opponents. It is very dangerous because it could lead to a violent confrontation if the police are not aware of the situation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has now been swatted numerous times since August.

Rep. Greene later posted this on Twitter following one of her earlier Swatting incidents.

Last night, I was swatted just after 1 am.

“I can’t express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in Rome, Floyd County.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene later joined Steve Bannon on The War Room following the swatting attacks.

Rep. Greene told Steve that Pelosi will not give her added security after she was swatted three nights in a row at her home in Georgia.  Greene added, “They won’t give me security with all of the death threats that I have. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats do not care.  I have to pay for it myself.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is forced to pay for her own additional security.

Last night Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted for the sixth time since August.

The wicked American left really wants her dead.

I was swatted for the 6th time last night.

Swatting is a very serious crime.

The caller wants to have their victim murdered by police.

But it is also a giant abuse of police resources and time, which is another reason it is a serious crime.

God bless my local police.

As reported earlier by Patty McMurray at The Gateway Pundit100 Percent Fed Up reports – Eagle Forum of Alabama, a 501(c) (4), successfully drafted a bill that was shared with the Alabama legislature that would make it a felony to administer puberty blockers or gender hormones to anyone under the age of 19. The felony charge would also apply to gender reassignment surgery for individuals under the age of 19.

On April 8, 2022, the Alabama legislature passed the bill based on the Eagle Forum’s draft.

The bill mimics Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill by forbidding teachers to withhold information from parents about their children’s feelings that their gender does not match their biological sex. This applies to both public and private schools.

Governor Kay Ivey signed House Bill SB184, and on May 8, 2022, the bill became law in Alabama.

On August 10, 2020, Joe Biden’s DOJ served the Eagle Forum with a subpoena demanding they turn over all of their records related to the bill they drafted. Incredibly, Eagle Forum of Alabama is also compelled by America’s most highly politicized and crooked DOJ to turn over all communication related to the drafting of the bill, including emails, social media posts, summaries, analysis, fact sheets, talking points, drafts of legislation including those from third parties, policies, goals, strategies, initiatives, polling, public opinion data, minutes, records, presentations, interviews, mass mailouts, emails, videos and all communications with government and non-government organizations or individuals including member legislators, employees, the Attorney General, lobbyists, consultants, etc., from 2017 which detail EFA’s legislative activities related to the VCAP.

in September, John Mark Graham of Phelps Dunbar, LLP, filed a motion to Quash the subpoena on behalf of Eagle Forum Alabama.

The Eagle Forum’s draft of the bill was made public and was publicly available on their website.

On Monday Judge Liles Burke released his decision.

A Little Background:

In April, the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act (VCAP) was passed by the Alabama Legislature and signed into law. This law prohibits healthy children from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and sex reassignment surgeries for the purpose of changing the appearance of their gender. Shortly thereafter, a group of people sued the State of Alabama claiming that the law was unconstitutional. The Department of Justice decided to join in the suit as “intervenor” party. Eagle Forum of AL (EFA) is not involved in this litigation. However, in August, EFA received an unprecedented subpoena from the Department of Justice. The DOJ demanded EFA turn over all records regarding VCAP. These included all communications with legislators, government and non-governmental third parties, EFA’s policy goals and strategies for passing the bill, interviews, videos, newsletters, presentations, social media posts, and more going back 5 years!

EFA has always been upfront in our advocacy for this common-sense legislation. EFA is constitutionally permitted to engage in this type of legislative activity and the subpoena demanded information the DOJ was not entitled to and that was outside of the scope of discovery. On September 7th, EFA filed a motion to quash the DPJ’s subpoena.

On October 14th, Judge Liles Burke held a hearing on the motion to quash. Late this afternoon we received the notice of the Judge’s order to grant our motion to quash. See an excerpt of the Judge’s order below.

The Court Findings:

“The Government’s nonparty subpoenas seek material outside the scope of discovery. The subpoenas command Eagle Forum and Southeast Law Institute to produce eleven broad categories of evidence, ranging from draft legislation, to communications with the Alabama Legislature, to polling or public opinion data, to social media postings. These materials are unlikely to reveal or lead to any information that would help resolve the fundamental issue in this case, which is whether Section 4(a)(1)–(3) of the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act is constitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment. Thus, the requested material has little—if any—relevance for purposes of discovery.”

“Furthermore, the burden of the requested material greatly outweighs any slight relevance it may have. Eagle Forum and Southeast Law Institute are nonprofit organizations staffed almost entirely of volunteers. The nonparties’ counsel, John Graham, represents them pro bono in this matter. To produce the requested material, the nonparties’ volunteer staff and pro bono counsel would first have to review thousands of documents, determine which, if any, of those documents are responsive, and then omit or redact any privileged information contained in those. Accordingly, the burden of the requested material outweighs any slight relevance it may have.”

“The Government has provided neither evidence nor argument to refute these conclusions. To the contrary, the Government’s eleventh-hour “narrowing” of the requested material suggests that the subpoenas, as written, are overly broad and unduly burdensome given the limited resources of the nonparties.

Considering the relevance (or lack thereof) of the requested material, the burden of production, the nonparties’ resources, and the Government’s own conduct, the Court finds that the subpoenas exceed the scope of discovery.”

Harvard has spent over $27 million defending its race-based admission policy, according to an insurance filing.

The insurance filing became public after Harvard failed to file a timely formal claim with one of its insurance companies.

Now, the insurance company and Harvard are battling over $15 million of that cost.

New York Times reported:

As Harvard prepares to defend its race-conscious admissions program at the Supreme Court this month, a federal judge in Boston is considering a related dispute arising from a fumbled insurance filing, one that could cost the university $15 million.

Harvard failed to file a timely formal claim with one of its insurance companies for its expenses in defending the lawsuit challenging its admissions policies. That company, Zurich American Insurance, refused to pay, and Harvard sued. In the process, the university disclosed that its legal fees and expenses in the admissions lawsuit and a related Justice Department investigation had topped $27 million.

“One of the nation’s top universities is apparently not great about doing its homework,” said David Lat, a legal commentator.

Days after Students for Fair Admissions sued Harvard in 2014, arguing that its practice of taking account of race in its undergraduate admissions decisions was unlawful and harmed Asian American applicants, the university formally notified its primary insurance carrier to seek payment of its defense costs. That policy had a $25 million limit, after Harvard paid $2.5 million.

The Supreme Court is hearing Students for Fair Admissions Inc. (SFFA) v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, a race-based affirmative action case on October 31st.

Fox News reported:

The U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear one of two cases on Oct. 31 that could dismantle the 40-year precedent of race-based affirmative action in university admissions, with universities now urging the court to preserve the decision despite some expert opinion to the contrary.

Students for Fair Admissions Inc. (SFFA) v. President & Fellows of Harvard College is one of two cases to come before the Supreme Court urging it to eliminate race as an admissions factor and, as a result, overturn the precedent case, Grutter v. Bollinger. The case also seeks to answer whether Harvard College violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act through its alleged discrimination against Asian American students, stemming from the initial lawsuit.

“It’s very clear to me that Harvard University was engaging in blatant discrimination. And what they were doing was they did not like the fact that Asian Americans — if they were simply admitted based on their credentials, qualifications — would have such a huge percentage of the student body,” Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital.

Why doesn’t Harvard lower the cost for students instead of spending millions defending this policy?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has been revealed as the prelude to the Great Reset, many people now realize the extent to which science has been corrupted to serve the interest of politicians and globalists. This includes climate “science.”

The Vancouver City Savings Credit Union, known as Vancity, has teamed up with ecolytiq, one of the climate engagement technology firms in Europe, to provide the first Visa Carbon Counter in Canada.

“Vancity is taking another step in its commitment to climate action. It will be the first financial institution in Canada to offer its individual and business members a way to estimate the CO2 emissions that come from their purchases,” the company said in a statement.

The ecolytiq software calculates personal environmental impacts, such as CO2 values, on the basis of payment transactions.

Vancity claimed that Visa Carbon Counter cardholders will be able to understand the environmental impact of their purchases and receive advice on how to reduce their carbon footprint.

“Starting in the new year, every Vancity Visa credit card holder will be able to track the estimated carbon emissions of their credit card purchases. Members will be able to see how their monthly tally compares to the national average, or which credit card purchases have the highest environmental cost,” the company said.

“We know many Vancity members are looking for ways to reduce the impact they have on the environment, particularly when it comes to the emissions that cause climate change,” said Jonathan Fowlie, Vancity’s Chief External Relations Officer who oversees the credit union’s impact and climate efforts.

“As a member-owned financial cooperative, we believe it is our job to do everything we can to help, especially when it comes to the decisions people make with their money. This tool will equip Vancity Visa credit cardholders with valuable information on their purchases and enable them to connect their daily spending decisions to the change they want to see in the world.”

In 2019, the Swedish fin-tech company Doconomy partnered with Mastercard to create the world’s credit card with a carbon limit.

“Doconomy is now launching the world’s first credit card with a carbon footprint limit, DO Black. The launch of this premium card marks the first milestone in the support that Doconomy provides to the UN Climate Change secretariat (UNFCCC) to encourage global climate action. DO Black not only helps users track and measure CO2 emissions associated with their purchases but also puts a limit on the climate impact of their spending. Users can now sign-up to register interest for DO Black,” Mastercard said in a statement.

Life Site News reported:

Indeed, at this year’s WEF’s Annual Summit in Davos, Switzerland, China-based Alibaba Group spoke of new technology that would track people’s carbon footprints through the monitoring of their spending, eating, and traveling habits.

Klaus Schwab, the WEF founder and chairman, told thousands at the Davos summit that “the future is built by us, by a powerful community such as you here in this room.”

Since taking office in 2015, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pushed the radical environmental agenda also being promoted by the WEF as part of its “Great Reset” agenda.

Indeed, Trudeau’s 2022 budget includes a portion that mandatory climate-related reporting is in the works for all federally regulated financial institutions in Canada.

This is part of a push for businesses to adopt so-called “Environmental Social Governance (ESG).”

ESG, as it is known, is a set of standards for business operations that can be used by global investors to see whether a company is following standards when it comes to its environmental, social, and governance work models.

There’s something wrong with Katie Hobbs.

She consistently freezes when she is asked a question.  She stares at her interviewer with a dumb, stunned look like she was asked to explain nuclear physics. She does this with even the most simple questions.

Or she just runs from reporters.

On Saturday Katie Hobbs was asked if she will force Arizona children to take the dangerous experimental COVID-19 vaccine.

She stared at the reporter and said, “Uhhh…”

The reporter repeated his question and all she could come up with is, “Uhh, that is not something I have contemplated.”

Another deflection from Katie H.

She knows she will force the vax on kids.  She knows it but won’t say it out loud.

Katie Hobbs won’t say if she supports forcing Arizona kids to be vaccinated for Covid in order to attend school.

Her response was “uhhh…” pic.twitter.com/D5w4rSuu1Y

Andrew Weissmann has been intimately involved in some of the biggest corruption scandals in US history. Weissmann was involved in FBI activities with the mob in New York in the 1990s.  He was a key member of the Enron Task Force and also was involved in the sale of 20% of US Uranium to Russia.  After all his corrupt acts, he then led the corrupt Mueller Special Counsel. 

In all these scandals Weissmann’s actions have been consistently corrupt and abhorrible. 

Attorney Sidney Powell shared the following about Andrew Weissmann:

The hallmark of the Department of Justice for decades has been to seek justice not convictions and if that meant letting a guilty person go free to make sure the government did it all right, then that was supposed to happen.

But Mr. Weissman, he couldn’t spell the word “ethics” despite the fact somebody actually had him teach a course in it one time, I think over in England.  His mantra is ‘the end justifies the means’… he targets people, individuals. And you’re right, I had no doubt from the moment he was picked for the Mueller Special Counsel operation, that he would have filed RICO charges against President Trump and seized every asset he ever had, if there had been any way he could do that.

He’s just filled with hatred for apparently most Americans and certainly anybody affiliated with President Trump.  And he’s willing to do anything to destroy them. 

Attorney David Schoen shared on Weissmann:

I have said, from my personal experience at least with this case, I consider Andrew Weissmann to be the most ethically bankrupt prosecutor I have ever encountered, and that’s a pretty broad spectrum of prosecutors over the course of my career…

Roger Stone says about Weissmann:

I believe what the bible says in Hebrews 10: Vengence is served for the Lord – but there is a special place in hell for Andrew Weissmann.”

Roger Stone shared that Weissmann was the de facto head of the Mueller investigation.  “I think it’s now clear that Mueller was around the bend mentally,” Stone said.

According to Paul Manafort, this appears to be the case.

Paul Manafort worked with the corrupt Podesta brothers in Ukraine in the mid-2000s.  It turned out that John Podesta was Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager in 2016 and Manafort was President Trump’s Campaign Manager for a couple of months.

Manafort and the Podestas brought a number of individuals to Ukraine in an effort to bring some credibility to their candidate there, Petro Poroshenko.  It’s unknown how much these visitors were paid by the Podestas and Manafort’s Ukrainian candidate or if they filed the correct forms with the US government for visiting there.

Hillary visited Ukraine –

The FBI had some questions for Manafort in 2014:

Paul Manafort thought he was in the clear in the summer of 2014 after meeting with federal prosecutors and FBI agents about his Ukrainian income, bank records and income tax returns.

But this wasn’t the case.  The FBI held on to this information that Manafort gave them and then used it after Manafort went to work for President Trump’s campaign in 2016.  [The Podestas whom Manafort worked for in Ukraine were never indicted.]

Manafort associates say he never heard from the agents again — that is, not until Mr. Mueller was appointed special counsel and recruited Andrew Weissmann from Justice’s fraud division.

Next, Manafort was under criminal investigation, with Mr. Weissmann leading the prosecution.

“The Office of the Special Counsel charged Mr. Manafort with the very conduct he voluntarily disclosed to DOJ almost three years prior to the appointment of Mr. Mueller as Special Counsel,” Mr. Downing said in his motion to disqualify Mr. Mueller’s office…

…In April 2017, Mr. Weissmann met with Associated Press reporters who briefed him on their Manafort investigation, according to documents obtained by Mr. Downing, who accused Mr. Mueller’s team of leaking grand jury testimony.

In October, Mr. Weissmann brought the first of several indictments against Manafort…

…Manafort never was offered a chance to settle his tax delinquencies with the Justice Tax Division.

The opportunity to settle his tax issues with the IRS would have been customary in most cases but not in this case with Weissmann.  Also, Weissmann’s ‘off-the-record’ meeting with AP reporters was also suspect.  These reporters supposedly shared information regarding Manafort’s storage locker and they reportedly asked Weissmann, then working for the DOJ, to arrest Manafort on FARA abuses – crimes that up to that point in time had rarely, if ever, been prosecuted because they relate to simply filling out a form on activities with foreign individuals and entities.

Judicial Watch obtained the information regarding the AP reporters’ meeting with Weissmann.

These shocking FBI reports evidence a corrupt collusion between DOJ and media, specifically The Associated Press, to target Paul Manafort– are further reason for President @RealDonaldTrump to pardon Manafort and others caught up in Mueller’s abusive web. https://t.co/M4WvDSBBFq

— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) October 22, 2019

We later found out that these AP reporters were connected to Fusion GPS.

A short time later, the FBI showed up at Manafort’s home and arrested him.  Manafort at the time was communicating with Sean Hannity via text messages.

In the text exchanges between Trump’s former campaign manager and Fox News host Sean Hannity, Manafort complains about Mueller’s intimidation tactics and lack of “fight” from conservatives.

Hannity responded to Manafort’s August 11 text message and rightfully pointed out how corrupt and biased Mueller’s special counsel team was…

…Manafort also disclosed to Sean Hannity that Mueller’s “pit bull” Andrew Weissmann tried to prevent him from spending Thanksgiving with his 3-month-old grandson by dragging out his bail resolution.

“I spent [Thanksgiving] with my family and my 3 month old grandson. Weissmann made an issue of that too,” Manafort said in a November 28, 2017 text.

In a recent interview with Breitbart, Manafort shared:

Manafort said Andrew Weissman, lead prosecutor for former special counsel Robert Mueller, sought to obtain false testimony from him in exchange for leniency in the DOJ’s prosecution of him regarding violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

“[Weissmann] needed me – in his mind – to create a link — which was a crazy idea to start with — to the Russia narrative that he was putting out,” Manafort remarked.

Manafort said the DOJ wanted him to provide false testimony in support of the “Russia narrative” targeting former President Donald Trump.

“They never made a direct offer,” he stated. “They made it very clear: [The Department of] Justice would go easy on me if I would just recognize the narrative that [Andrew] Weissmann was trying to put out there on Trump’s involvement with Putin. Well, if I’d recognized it, I’d’ve been lying, and I wasn’t willing to do that, and I paid a price.”

He added. “They put me in solitary for 11 months and they put me in prison after that for another year.”

On December 24, 2020, President Trump pardoned Manafort.

Weissmann abused another American in an attempt to have President Trump removed from office. 

Weissmann is one of the most corrupt individuals to ever work in the DOJ.  He doesn’t seem to care who he hurts, it’s all about the end game. None of Weissmann’s corrupt and dishonest actions over the years prevented Weissmann from moving up the ranks in the DOJ, they helped him. Weissmann and Robert Mueller and others in the Enron Task force destroyed over 80,000 Arthur Andersen professionals’ careers in the early 2000s. Weissmann’s actions led to four Merrill Lynch professionals facing time in prison, one in solitary, all were later found innocent.

Weissmann then went on to lead the Mueller witchhunt in its attempted coup of the President of the United States.  The list of unethical and arguably criminal actions by Weissmann in the Mueller witchhunt is unending.

Weissmann’s corrupt actions are the standard for the DOJ today.

Weissmann is still trying to get President Trump.

Short answer, no. At least not for Ukraine’s military. But it is a game changer for Lockheed Martin stockholders, with the defense contractor enjoying great publicity and new orders. Although the Ukrainians are firing hundreds of HIMARS a month they are having limited success in causing significant damage to the Russian military personnel and ammo depots. In fact, it appears Russia is shooting most of the HIMARS rockets out of the sky with their air defense systems. That lack of success has not stopped Lockheed from locking down new contracts with the Department of Defense. But if you think that Lockheed is cranking out HIMARS at a rapid rate, think again. The production process is best described as leisurely:

What’s interesting is that the Army lays out a five-year schedule that calls for almost 500 new HIMARS, which are currently built by Lockheed Martin. From the 2024 to 2028 fiscal years, the Army is contemplating a minimum of 24 new launchers a year and a maximum of 96, totaling 120 to 480 over five years. https://www.businessinsider.com/us-army-looking-to-build-hundreds-more-himars-launchers-2022-9?op=1

Lockheed’s production of the rockets with guidance systems that are fired from the HIMARS launcher also is proceeding at a snail’s pace–i.e., it only produces 9000 GMLRS rounds a year. Ukraine reportedly fired at least 500 of those rockets in September alone and Russia claims it shot them all down. It is a pricey weapon system for little bang. (“Lockheed Tests Improved GMLRS Rocket”. Army technology. 8 November 2009.)

HIMARS carries a single six-pack of GMLRS rockets or one TACMS missile, according to Lockheed Martin. Individual GMLRS rockets cost about $100,000. https://www.newsweek.com/who-makes-himars-cost-launch-missile-fire-manufacture-1752295

The HIMARS is a pricey weapons system that is having scant effect on the battlefield. I have reproduced below the daily briefing of the Russian Ministry of Defense regarding the HIMARS. I am unable to count the exact number of HIMARS fired because on some days the Russian MOD counted intercepts of HIMARS and Olkha MRLS together. Nonetheless, the number HIMARS GMLRS rockets shot down by Russian air defense systems appears to be at least 500. If we assume that all of the 623 rockets reported downed by Russia were HIMARS, that represents $62.3 million dollars worth of rockets. If the HIMARS were wiping out Russian troops, command headquarters and ammunition depots on a daily basis do you think Ukraine and the Western media would report it? Absolutely!! So it is the lack of reporting on this that catches my eye. I think this offers indirect evidence that bolsters the credibility of the claims by the Russian MOD.

Russia’s UN Ambassador made the point in a Security Council session today that the HIMARS is killing civilians and damaging civilian infrastructure:

Let’s see for what they are actually used. According to DPR-LPR data, only on the territory controlled by the republics from … February to October, as the result of the Ukrainian attacks with the use of heavy weapons, there were destroyed more than 10 thousand houses and more than 2000 civil infrastructure facilities, including 424 educational and 109 medical facilities. For these attacks the American HIMARS MLRS were actively used. The French Caesars also used the opportunity to show their power in an unequal battle with the residential buildings, schools and other civilian targets. Directly from the French weapons in Donetsk since the June this year, no less than five people died, ten were injured, more than 64 buildings were destroyed. https://thesaker.is/extremely-important-russian-warning-to-the-un-security-council-must-see/

Democrats must be very worried about the midterm races in Pennsylvania because they’re sending Obama and Joe Biden to campaign there.

They would never bother to do this if they were confident about their chances.

There’s a lot at stake here. A senate seat and a governor’s race.

Axios reports:

Scoop: Democrats deploy Biden and Obama to lock down Pennsylvania

President Biden and former President Obama will barnstorm the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas on Nov. 5 with the party’s nominees for Pennsylvania governor and Senate, according to a Democrat with direct knowledge of the plans.

Why it matters: In the final days before the midterms, Democrats are deploying their party’s biggest assets in Pennsylvania. The state, which was critical to Biden’s 2020 election victory, could determine control of the Senate next year.

– Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is locked in a close Senate race with Republican Mehmet Oz, while the current attorney general, Josh Shapiro, has maintained a lead over state Sen. Doug Mastriano in the governor’s race.

The big picture: While Biden has been forgoing large political rallies that became the signature midterm political move for his predecessors, he has made several trips this year to Pennsylvania, where Fetterman hasn’t shied away from appearing with him.

– On Oct. 28, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will fundraise with Fetterman at a Pennsylvania Democratic Party dinner. Biden visited the state last week as well.

The internal polling for Democrats must be awful for them to be doing this.

CBS News has confirmed that Pres. Biden and Pres. Obama are expected to be in PA in early November, per 3 Dems briefed. Underscores how important this battleground remains for both parties in the final lap. First reported by @HansNichols. https://t.co/F2LAkQxK9w

Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be for Democrats if they end up losing here anyway?

Harvey Weinstein’s defense lawyers in Monday’s opening statement called Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, a “bimbo” and a “Hollywood wannabe” after she accused the disgraced producer of rape.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is set to testify against Harvey Weinstein.

She claims Weinstein raped her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2005 when she was an actor.

Weinstein’s lawyers ripped Jennifer Siebel Newsom as they argued she consented to every sexual interaction with Weinstein.

“Look at my client,” attorney Mark Werksman said, pointing to Weinstein, according to Variety. “He’s not Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Do you think these beautiful women had sex with him because he’s hot? No, it’s because he’s powerful.”

Weinstein’s lawyer dropped the hammer on Gavin Newsom’s wife when he rightly pointed out that had she not married a powerful politician, she would be just another “bimbo” who slept with Weinstein.

“She’d be just another bimbo who slept with Harvey Weinstein to get ahead,” Werksman argued to the courtroom.

OUCH.

Variety reported:

Weinstein’s attorney spent much of his time during opening statements focusing on Jane Doe #4, who was revealed to be Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the actress and director who is married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused Weinstein of raping her in a hotel room in 2005. She has become a leading voice against sexual harassment and assault in recent years.

“She’s made herself a prominent figure of the #MeToo movement,” Werksman said, listing her current accolades and status as the First Partner of California. But back in the early 2000s when Siebel Newsom was an aspiring actress and filmmaker, Weinstein’s attorney says she was a “Hollywood wannabe.”

Werksman told the jury that during the alleged rape in 2005, Siebel Newsom says she faked an orgasm to end the assault quickly. Weinstein’s attorney said there is no more “enthusiastic signal of consent” than “yes, yes, yes” — which is why, he said, “Mr. Weinstein believed she consented.”

Weinstein’s attorney also noted that Weinstein was a big donor to the Democratic Party, and contributed money to Gavin Newsom throughout the years. He noted that in 2007, Weinstein had the couple as guests to one of his parties, during the time when Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco. “She brought her husband to meet and party with her rapist. Who does that?” Werksman said. “He took money from his wife’s rapist for his political campaigns.”
