The New York Times and The New Yorker did a lot to pull the rug out from under Weinstein. There's some problems with the Manhattan District Attorney (an elected official) being vulnerable to influence from campaign donors (NYT opinion piece explains). |

I would be interested in hearing exactly how this story broke. Did this story just break on its own or was he targeted because he is a massive Dem donor?
