Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm not misremembering this, am I? He was like full-on outed as a pedo and then nothing happened?

Bill Clinton not only still walks the earth but was actively involved in Harris's campaign

At least it appears the universe is trying to impose karmatic justice on the Clinton's and Kamala.

These assholes are failing upward faster than anybody I've ever seen.

If memory serves there was never anything concrete enough to bring charges, but a lot of smoke

His buddy Greenberg pled guilty to underage sex crime trafficking and is currently in prison

They were going to bring charges but the primary witness was the victim, who is or was a sex worker. Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative.", they decided not to proceed.

Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn't trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges... and then it went poof with little reason why

what do you mean nothing happened?

pedos took over the government and made him Attorney General so they can all get away with being pedos.

thats what happened to him for being a pedo.
