Will be get out on bail or what?

Is it real or he just doing a cameo on "SVU" with Mariska Hargitay?

When do the Trump hating media types following this story turn themselves in for fraud?

Elia Kazan was an author hostile to collectivism, he is a big and rare Hollywood hero to the RIGHT.

I wonder what Harvey is trying to pull.

30 years in jail is too good for him.

Carrying a book about Elia Kazan? It would have been more fitting for the book to have been about Roman Polanski.

$1 Miilion in bail, house arrest with ankle monitor, turned in passports.

Minimum sentence if he gets convicted is 5 years, max is 30 years.

I bet he pleads the charges down and ends up doing no more than a year in a plush, minimum-security facility.

I can’t believe he didn’t flee the country. I guess the problem is he has no roles for the women in the non-extraditable ones?

I look at the book he miscarrying as a threat to his colleagues.

That was relatively quick. I honestly thought this guy would be more successful than Hillary at avoiding prosecution.

Yes and a frequent script theme by Kazan was a righteous, embattled underdog bravely confronting corrupt entenched Establishmeni.

Like the poor, “I couldda been a CONTENDER..! You shouldda looked out fah me...” washed-up ex-boxer in On the Waterfront, a commentary on Mob/labor union colusion on the shipping docks.

So my guess is Harvey sees himself bravely holding his own against unfair persecution.

I understand Harvey expects to be forgiven after a time; he cites the example of Mel Gibson, who once made a drunken outburst against a CHP officer.

He is out of the business I’m pretty sure, he probably thinks he can plea down the charges - but other cases will be brought against him.
