its a tragic/comic image.

Once you've been a victim it's very easy to be revictimized, redamaged, more scars

Weinstein was powerful, a critical mass had to be reached before many victims could come forward.

If Weinstein is truly a sexual offender, why did it take so long to get him out of power in Hollywood? There's something missing here.

No ... there's nothing "missing".  It took a long time because he was extremely powerful in Hollywood and the victims were reluctant to come forward.  By there very nature, these things usually happen without witnesses and victims are often attacked as not credible or even blamed, so they decide to remain silent.  They also are also afraid of being blackballed by a powerful producer.

No one is talking about those who have benefited from a romp on the casting couch.  How many careers were made because of it?  We're not getting the entire story.

Story after story, almost universally, the women understood that coming out would more than likely be a losing move, the brave ones often got labeled as unbelievable trouble makers (see Anita Hill) while the creeps were rewarded immensely (see Clarence Thomas).

Really, so what?  Does any woman's willingness mean all women must be willing?  Does Weinstein have some sort of right to expect cooperation just because some women cooperated?

I hate to break it to you, but there are men in all corners of the world who have been taking advantage of their power and position for years, "getting away with" harassment and assault, and the fact that they are getting away with it doesn't mean they aren't "really" predators.  

The reality is that the harassment, the assault, the rape, the unwanted touching, the threats to one's job, to one's reputation - these are all things that actually help the predator because they get at a woman's sense of herself, make her question herself, she knows that society still tries to blame the victim.  So she keeps it to herself.

That she does this doesn't make it her fault, doesn't make her complicit, she is not responsible for his behavior, not when he went after her, not when he goes after someone else.

The fact that this has to be explained to you is depressing, because I know there are a lot of others just like you, who don't seem capable of seeing and treating women as fully actualized and are so intent on shielding men from taking responsibility for their behavior that you end up treating women like property.

We already know, because you have argued it ad nauseam, that you believe women want to be dominated and prefer a sexually aggressive man, so it isn't difficult to infer that you believe the women coming forward about Weinstein must be lying   for their own nefarious reasons, and that Weinstein is the proof of the existence of the sexually ideal man.

How many women did she warn after that incident? If Weinstein is truly a sexual offender, why did it take so long to get him out of power in Hollywood? There's something missing here.

but not just him. my guess is that several people (say three) are being charged for various tax evasion and non reporting of moneys type crimes.

Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman who spent lucrative years as a political consultant, including to pro-Russian candidates in Ukraine.

Nobody has "announced" that there will be arrests on Monday, my reading of the reporting is that the sources have indicated that arrests are unlikely before Monday, which of course gets turned into arrests as early as Monday, which gets heard as arrests on Monday.
