"To be very clear, prosecutors in this case did not believe there was an agreement not to prosecute or immunity for the defendant at the time we moved forward on the case, and we do not believe it now," Steele said."If we had believed there was an agreement or immunity, we would not have moved forward in our attempt to bring Cosby to justice.

The state Supreme Court also took what it described in its 79-page ruling as a"severe and rare" step of barring prosecutors from trying Cosby again on the same charges."What we said is we're not gonna let the commonwealth, the state through the district attorneys to engage in that kind of reprehensible bait and switch and that's not to protect Bill Cosby. Nobody is sympathetic to Bill Cosby. That's to protect 13 million Pennsylvanians against that kind of conduct.

Trump: Bill Barr was 'unable’ to hold Kavanaugh accusers, Steele dossier sources ‘accountable'Former President Donald Trump said former Attorney General William Barr was 'unable' to hold those who 'lied and defamed' Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and authors of the 'phony' Steele dossier to account. I would agree that he became worse. Right after the 1st impeachment, Susan Collins did her tinker bell imitation and said 'Maybe he'll learn something' He never apologized. He never conceded. We lost half a million to Covid while he lies. They attacked the Capitol. People are dead. It was almost so much worse. We cannot let it go.
