Zachary Quinto is set to produce and star in
Secret Court, a scripted podcast based on the Harvard gay purge of 1920, which took place after the suicide of sophomore Cyril Wilcox.
Deadline explains: “Wilcox was part of a small group of gay male students, and his suicide led Harvard to instigate an impromptu and merciless Secret Court. It was led by the University’s then president and deans at the time, and condemned eight students, four ‘accomplices’ and a handful of Cambridge locals. The ad-hoc court shamed and denounced these innocents as offenders, purging and erasing them from all official records as if they never existed at Harvard at all. And it had been kept a dark secret for more than 80 years.”
dagen: there is abuse of power within the fbi and at a bare minimum gross and competence and trying to change the election against donald trump, it damages the united states and it puts us at risk because these are not regular warrants, these are warrants that you get in front of a secret court, 50 facts that could only be explained by gross incompetence or bias. you are dealing with that sacred power that the american people demand gets taken away from fbi and intelligence because of its abuse, that s the danger. jim comey is either dense or he is pathological but i can tell you one thing, his breath must stink because he has been regurgitating garbage for years now and he should ve never been the fbi director ever, biggest mistake in the trump administration. jesse: lied to a judge, concealing evidence and forging information are just sloppy mistakes, that s intentional bias misconduct.
