Justice for Weinstein’s victims, but what about the victims of Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh? 

Seems those were some tasty nothingburgers.

Probably why Trump refuses to provide a DNA sample in the lawsuit going on right now

I believe he has to wait until the IRS audit is done with.

Or this article could explain why it's not really a good idea.

More to the point, consider that the DNA of world leaders is already a subject of intrigue. According to Ronald Kessler, the author of the 2009 book In the President’s Secret Service, Navy stewards gather bedsheets, drinking glasses, and other objects the president has touched—they are later sanitized or destroyed—in an effort to keep would‑be malefactors from obtaining his genetic material. (The Secret Service would neither confirm nor deny this practice, nor would it comment on any other aspect of this article.) And according to a 2010 release of secret cables by WikiLeaks, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directed our embassies to surreptitiously collect DNA samples from foreign heads of state and senior United Nations officials. Clearly, the U.S. sees strategic advantage in knowing the specific biology of world leaders; it would be surprising if other nations didn’t feel the same.

How convenient.

Or because the dna samples that were on the coat werent really complete samples to compare to. Only one of them had enough info to even determine if it was male. 

This creates a high likelihood that the test results would come back that he couldnt be excluded for at least one of the 4 possibilities. 

The press would have a field day with that language. "Trump unable to be excluded as rapist"

Cosby and Weinstein proving that hobbling into court with a walker doesn't garner sympathy with the jury.

Probably biased jurors.

The prosecution should have brought up an expert to explain how rapists generally have significant degeneration of the lumbar spine later in life.

They’re saying he probably had it when he was at Rikers last week. They have like 56 cases now (over half are inmates.)

Sorry Harvey, you’re no longer on the list.

I can just imagine the conspiracy theories if he dies

How does Weinstein get priority to be tested?

 

[Sinn Fein]

How does Weinstein get priority to be tested?

50+ positive results in Rikers (among inmates and staff) - so he is hardly alone among prisoners who have been tested.

 

[Snorkelson]

How does Weinstein get priority to be tested?

Prisoners get better health care than the general public. This isn’t a new thing.
