The grift that keeps on grifting. That's #TFG's MO.

In other news, Donald Rumsfeld is dead. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Bill Cosby is a free man after Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturns sex assault conviction

Bill Cosby was released from prison Wednesday after Pennsylvania's highest court overturned his sexual assault conviction, saying the disgraced actor's due process rights were violated.

The stunning decision in the case of the man once known as “America's Dad” reverses the first high-profile celebrity criminal trial of the #MeToo era.

The panel of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court judges said in their opinion that a former Montgomery County district attorney's decision to not prosecute Cosby in 2005 in return for his deposition in a civil case was ultimately used against him at trial.

“In light of these circumstances, the subsequent decision by successor D.A.s to prosecute Cosby violated Cosby's due process rights,” the judges wrote.

Cosby was sentenced in 2018 to 3 to 10 years in a state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004.

There is no justice in the US of A. There really isn't - unless, of course, you're rich.
