Like many of you, I’m following the case of the Cornell gang rape investigation. And there’s a detail which is not making sense. According to the district attorney, the statement by Jane Doe was that she voluntarily took drugs, she voluntarily engaged in sexual activity.

Yesterday, former Special Counsel Jack Smith sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee and answered questions about the investigations that defined his tenure. The hearing produced some extraordinary allegations. Some were supported by records. Some were disputed. Some were simply wrong. That distinction matters.

There is a familiar pattern that appears whenever allegations of sexual assault threaten to implicate a group of people who want to protect one another. First, question the woman. Then question her character. Then question her memory. Then question what she drank, what she took, who she slept with before, what she said at the…

The Netherlands is now searching El Al passengers at Schiphol for goods from the Golan Heights, Judea and Samaria, or East Jerusalem—treating personal belongings as a matter for political enforcement. Fine. But two can play that game. If the Dutch government believes it is proper to use commerce, customs inspections, and the threat of prison…

So we don’t want mob justice, but we do want justice. And the closer you look at the Cornell frat rape accusation, the more it seems like a crucial piece of justice was not performed in the initial investigation. According to the DA, the campus police did not provide the image saying, quote, free p—y.…
