There was no evidence of Clinton "skewering" the girl on the tape. What did I miss? |
It is in the affidavit. |
Oh please. Of all the reasons to attack her. I slip into it too if I'm speaking with people from the south. It happens organically. Get over it. |
There seems to be a lot of data out there and I don't really feel like going through it all. The affidavit shows that Clinton referred to a child psychologist who questioned the child's honesty. However, that line of discussion apparently never made it into court because of the loss of evidence was enough to get a plea bargain. When I hear that someone was "skewered" I get the idea that the skewerer directly confronts the skewered. I don't get the idea that someone quoted someone else that the skewered person never saw. Do you have more evidence of the girl being "skewered"? If so, please link to it directly or provide very clear instructions as to how to find it. |
This is the quote I was referring to from the article. which links to the affidavit. If this quote is not included in the affidavit then I will rescind my "skewering" comment but I have no time to check the entire affidavit at the moment. As a feminist, I am not okay with these statements being made about a 12 year old rape victim. If you are okay with that, then we will have to agree to disagree. “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.” |
NP here. Wasn't the information in the affidavit based upon the investigation and opinion(s) from one of the experts, though? Not sure how a defense attorney raising those issues in an affidavit filed in the case is "skewering" anybody. |
People understand that. They also understand that, if in Hillary's shoes, they would rather quit than destroy a 12 year old rape victim. |
| Rape victim or groupie slut? Seems to me there needs to be some serious slut shaming. |
| It's like nobody watches law and order |
|
I'm sure it does. And when you visit California you talk like a Valley girl, and when you visit Boston, you talk like a Yahd Bahkah don't you? Keep defending her. |
Clinton didn't destroy a 12 year old rape victim. She got the case plea bargained because the State threw away the evidence. Frankly, I hadn't looked into this before and was just accepting the repeated claims that Clinton did something atrocious. My view is that none of the Clintons take prisoners and this would just be one more example. But, now that I've looked into it a bit, I see that the anti-Clinton case is very misleading. Clinton absolutely did nothing wrong in this case. |
Our legal system wouldn't work if people who were accused of horrible crimes couldn't get an attorney to zealously represent them. Defense attorneys are needed, not just to defend the accused, but to keep prosecutors honest. |
Yes, this is exactly right. Clinton simply reported the findings of an expert. Moreover, none of that even made it into court. So, at best, Clinton could be accused of considering skewering a 12-year old, though I would still argue that reporting the findings of an expert is not "skewering". Nevertheless, the skewering never took place. |
You must be very proud of your father. We need more people like him in this world. |
