Weinstein made a good choice choosing Lanny Davis. He certainly has a lot of experience with Bill's problems. The Clintons and Lanny are good friends. I can just imagine the stories sitting around the fire. He and his brother started Miramax this is from his Wiki Page In the early 1980s Miramax acquired the rights to two British films of benefit shows filmed for the human rights organization Amnesty International. Working closely with Martin Lewis, the producer of the original films, the Weinstein brothers edited the two films into one movie tailored for the American market. The resulting film was released as The Secret Policeman's Other Ball in May 1982 and it became Miramax's first hit. The movie raised considerable sums for Amnesty International and was credited by Amnesty with having helped to raise its profile in the United States.[7][9] Weinstein gave Amnesty Int. a Big Boost here in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Weinstein
