Defiant Trump seizes on Clinton sex scandal before debate
Associated Press ^ | Oct. 9, 2016 12:19 PM EDT | Steve Peoples and Julie Pace

Hours before a critical presidential debate, a damaged but defiant Donald Trump seized on never-proved sexual assault allegations against Hillary Clinton’s husband.

It was a dramatic escalation of personal attacks as he sought to deflect fallout from his own sexually aggressive comments.

The Republican presidential nominee tweeted a link Sunday to an interview with Juanita Broaddrick, who Trump says “relives brutal rapes.” Broaddrick’s lawsuit against Bill Clinton accusing him of rape was dismissed in 2001 and criminal charges were never filed. Clinton has denied the allegations. …

It’s not the sex scandal ...its Hillary’s treatment of the women that is deplorable.

He has to pivot this to Hillary and not make it all about Bill. That will be key.

Never proved?

Uhm, you mean like the semen stained dress? Or the 850,000 dollar settlement?

Nope, no bias by the Associated Press in this story.

From the article: “

Never proved?

"Never proved"?

Would Bill n' Hill send me a check for $850,000?

Yeah media keep telling people it was “never proven”. But it happened. As did the molestation of Kathleen Willey in the White House.

Important Note: Both women were Clinton supporters at the time, not Republicans.

Just thinking how funny it would be if he answered the first question about the scandal by saying:

Now listen, I am only going to say this once: I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewensky...er I mean ok I did talk very crudely with Howard Stern and in private conversations years ago when I was a Democrat.

Unproven:
1)Jennifer Flowers - 60 minutes Hillary and Bill say it didn’t happen. 2 years later under oath Bill admits cheating “once.”
2)Paula Jones - “If you drag a dollar through a trailer park...” - Clinton lied under oath and found in contempt by Arkansas judge. Gave up law license before being disbarred.
3)Monica - Hillary, it’s a vast right wing conspiracy... DNA proves allegation.
Unproven? Where has the press been for 30 years/

"Hours before a critical presidential debate, a damaged but defiant Donald Trump seized on never-proved sexual assault allegations against Hillary Clinton’s husband. "

Ah HA!

There is that word again!

F. Chuck Todd said it was an "Un-Proven Claim"

So much for "We must always believe the woman"

The State Controlled Media has their orders.

The semen stained dress doesn’t prove assault. We hard it from Monica’s willing lips that his affair with her was quite consensual. Monica is not an issue. However, the settlement to Paula Jones does prove some form of guilt that he dropped trou, exposed himself, and used police and his high office to intimidate and trick Paula into sex, even though he didn’t lay a hand on her. He was either the gov or the attorney general, and cops fetched her on a false pretense. It’s like a traffic cop saying either screw me or I will take you to jail.
