“In it, Constand said Cosby invited her to his home in 2004 and told her to wear comfortable clothes. Constand said she was given two pills to “take the edge off” and was later sexually assaulted.”

Who accepts pills from people and takes them without knowing what they are?!?

This is why I’ve never joined the Cosby lynch mob, these stories just don’t make rational sense when you actually read them.

“I won’t shed a single tear for Cosby but were I a criminal I would seriously think twice about taking a deal which forces me to testify in exchange for immunity after seeing this go down.”

Criminals usually don’t have much of a choice. If they are offered immunity, they may lose ability to invoke the 5th amendment to avoid testifying. Then, if they don’t answer questions, they can be tossed in jail for contempt until they do answer.

Crosby strayed from the Democratic Plantation and told blacks that they need to put their own house in order in regards to unwed mothers, absentee fathers, crime, drugs, welfare, etc. That’s why he is being demonized. If he hadn’t strayed, this would not be happening. It’s a warning to others who might consider straying. But as one of the masters of the Democratic Plantation, Bill Clinton will never be held accountable for all his sex crimes.

No Statute of Limitations?

It comes from this case from December 2015, filed just in time.

AP report: Bill Cosby charged in sexual assault case

Every story on the Cosby case will remind women about who the Clintons really are.

Or refuse the deal, take the 5th and refuse to testify at all. They can't put you in jail for taking the 5th.

but the truth is that many complex cases (like RICO stuff) relies on some people to take the deals offered in exchange for their testimony and without it they cannot get to the big fish. Take that off the table by prosecuting people anyway and once word gets around it will be stone silent on the stand. Sure you'll put away some grunts you caught red handed but you won't unravel the network.

The Cosby felony indecent assault court case will play out when the American electorate are measuring der Hildebeast’s obvious role as an accessory to her der Slickmeister’s felonious indecent assaults. In Cosby’s case, the role of his wife, Camille, may well have played a role as an accessory. As this plays out, the American electorate will see more deeply the parallels between the Cosbys and the Clintons.

CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW TO ACCESS THE ARCHIVES ....... talk about "cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control" it's called tyranny. Just imagine a presidency under insane Hillary. No Constitution; no law other than what she and her band of Socialists/Marxist decree......

“Or refuse the deal...”

It may not matter. They can grant you immunity whether you accept a deal or not, and then you are painted into a corner.

“They can’t put you in jail for taking the 5th.”

No, but they can put you in jail for contempt if you try to invoke the 5th when you already have immunity, since testifying can’t incriminate you.

If Bill is Black, believe the women.
If Bill is White, savage the women.

So it would seem that Hitlery will stand behind and defend any sexual predator named Bill. She is such an equal-enabler! Black Bill and White Bill - they’re both perfectly fine in her books.

Until, like Cosby, it does.
