>> Flame away.

There’s no reason to “flame away.” But surprised this needs to be explained.

[laweeks]

Who said she was raped by Clinton? Not Trump.

[Sasparilla]

IIRC Trump saying Hillary laughed at the victim was unanswered.

[Katya]

No flames... I noticed many people confusing them, it gets difficult when there are just SO many women

[R_Kangel]

Unfortunately Trump spent a lot of time setting up the zinger which never materialized ..... He lost that zinger when he didn’t even mention name the Attorney for the Defense of the Perp Rapist .... It was Hillary Clinton.

Hillary brags about her lifelong work to save children; but, the truth is this:

She (Hillary) besmirched a 12 year old rape victim, suppressed evidence and then years later is caught on tape LAUGHING about it!

[philman_36]

How about some examples to support your rant?

Some of us don't get to every thread/comments.

EXCLUSIVE: Child rape victim comes forward for the first time in 40 years to call Hillary Clinton a 'liar' who defended her rapist by smearing her, blocking evidence and callously laughing that she knew he was guilty

'Hillary Clinton is not for women and children,' says Kathy Shelton, 54, who was 12 years old when she was raped by Thomas Alfred Taylor in Arkansas Clinton was the rapist's defense lawyer, pleading him down to 'unlawful fondling of a minor' The 41-year-old drifter served less than a year in prison The plea came after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime Shelton says she's furious that Clinton has been portraying herself as a lifelong advocate of women and girls on the campaign trail Clinton accused Shelton of 'seeking out older men' in the case and demanded that she undergo a grueling court-ordered psychiatric examination The presidential candidate later laughed while discussing aspects of the case in a recently-unearthed audiotaped interview from the 1980s

DailyMail

Clinton (pictured in 1974 as a lawyer for the Rodino Committee) served as Taylor's lawyer in 1975, when she was just 27 years old

[Rusty0604]

I think he did say Hillary represented the perv.

[jmclemore]

No flames from me,
She may have done her job, and did it well. But to say she is proud to have gotten the results she did, came at the expense of a 12 year old’s innocence, self esteem, dignity and quality of life. There is a difference between delivering duty and representation of your client and being proud about it.

[PlateOfShrimp]

Very good point!

IMHO, this completely overshadows anything Bill Clinton did, and our side would be wise not to try to throw everything against the wall, but focus on this case like a fricken’ laser.

"Hillary brags about her lifelong work to save children; but, the truth is this: She (Hillary) besmirched a 12 year old rape victim, suppressed evidence and then years later is caught on tape LAUGHING about it!"

"He lost that zinger when he didn’t even mention name the Attorney for the Defense of the Perp Rapist .... It was Hillary Clinton"

No, he didn't. He said Hillary defended the rapist in court.

BREITBART LIVE UPDATES

During the second presidential debate, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said, “Hillary Clinton attacked them viciously,” referring to former president Bill Clinton’s female victims and a child rape victim whose attacker Clinton defended.

“One of them is a wonderful woman, [who] at 12 years old was raped. At twelve. Her client — she represented — got him off, laughing on two separate occasions, laughing at the girl that was raped. Kathy Shelton, that young woman, is here with us tonight. So, don’t tell me about words,” Trump said.

Fact-Check: TRUE

In the mid-1980s, journalist Roy Reed interviewed Hillary Clinton, and a tape of that interview has been uploaded to YouTube and is available in the Special Collections Department of the University of Arkansas libraries.

“He took a lie detector test! I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” Clinton said about her client Thomas Alfred Taylor, who raped Shelton in 1975, laughing.

Clinton also laughed in the video about saving the child rapist from a “miscarriage of justice.” He served one year in county jail, with two months shaved off his sentence for the time he already served. Shelton’s injuries were so traumatic, she could never have children.

I haven't read much about this, but my general impression was she was the defense attorney, the prosecutor did a crappy job, the evidence handling was a disaster, and the perp walked. Years later, she talked about the polygraph the guy passed and laughed about it because she couldn't believe the results.

I don't know what evidence she allegedly suppressed, and I don't know what she did to besmirch the 12 year old victim. Was any of it outside the normal standards of evidence at the time? (I know many rules protecting accusers are fairly recent.)

Everything I heard sounds like she did what a lawyer is supposed to do, and I really have more of a problem with the other rapist she still defends. If that's not the case, please enlighten me.
