>> 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.

[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!

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

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.

[MarchonDC09122009]

H0ly Cr@p!
I didn’t know the details were that awful.
Thanks for taking the time to highlight them.
Lets hound the indecent b1tch with her crimes!

[Gil4]

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.

[Randy Larsen]

We, who pay attention know who she is. She is a Hillary victim, not Bill.

-raped as a 12-year-old girl by an Arkansas man who was defended by Hillary Clinton says the future presidential candidate smeared her to get her attacker off with a light sentence.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, the now 52-year-old woman, whose name was withheld by the publication out of concern for her privacy, said she still harbors anger toward Clinton.

“Hillary Clinton took me through Hell,” the victim said.

The victim in the 1975 sexual abuse case that became Clinton’s first criminal defense said she wants to speak out after hearing Clinton talk about her case on newly discovered audio recordings from the 1980s, unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon and made public this week.

The woman told The Daily Beast Clinton intentionally lied about her in court documents, went to extraordinary lengths to discredit evidence of the rape, and later callously acknowledged - even laughed - about her attackers’ guilt on the recordings.

If the victim could speak to Clinton, she said, “I would say, ‘You took a case of mine in ‘75, you lied on me… I realize the truth now, the heart of what you’ve done to me. And you are supposed to be for women? You call that [being] for women, what you done to me? And I hear you on tape laughing.”

The victim’s claim that Clinton smeared her following her rape is based on a May 1975 court affidavit Clinton wrote on behalf of Thomas Alfred Taylor, who Clinton agreed to defend after being asked by the prosecutor. Taylor had specifically requested a female attorney.

“I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing,” Clinton, then named Hillary D. Rodham, wrote in the affidavit. “I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body. Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”

The victim denied Clinton’s claim she had ever accused anyone of attacking her before her rape.

“I’ve never said that about anyone. I don’t know why she said that. I have never made false allegations. I know she was lying,” she said. “I definitely didn’t see older men. I don’t know why Hillary put that in there and it makes me plumb mad.”

The newly-revealed audio recordings, which were taped in a series of interviews with a reporter whose story was never published, were uncovered by The Free Beacon at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, amid thousands of pieces of Clinton history.

On the tapes, Clinton seems to acknowledge that she was aware of her client’s guilt, boasts about successfully getting the only piece of physical evidence thrown out of court, and laughs about it all whimsically.

“He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” Clinton says on the recording, failing to hold back some chuckles.

Instead of the original charge of first degree rape, prosecutors let Taylor plead to a lesser charge: unlawful fondling of a child. According to the Free Beacon, Taylor was sentenced to one year behind bars, with two months reduced for time served. A second attacker was never charged.

“Oh, he plea bargained. Got him off with time served in the county jail, he’d been in the county jail about two months,” Clinton said on the recording, apparently not remembering the sentence accurately.

Yes, a horrific story. I think people who didn’t know probably assumed that she was another Bill victim, because they were all sitting together.

[TBP]

Good to keep that straight.

[BlessedBeGod]

Thank you for the explanation! It is absolutely not nit-picking.

[mad_as_he$$]

Good point, thanks!
