How has this not had wider circulation?

I'd honestly assumed this recording didn't actually exist, and the story about Hillary's comments on this case were just rumors made up by her political enemies. Snopes flatly says several of these points aren't true, though they pretty obviously are.

For instance, her comment on the polygraph, and her accompanying laughter, obviously mean she knew her client to be guilty-- I don't know how else you'd interpret that "joke".



Seriously, wtf kind of sociopath laughs about this stuff? And what sort of person supports someone like this under the guise of 'advancing women', for chissake? If this was a Republican, her fans would utterly despise them-- and rightly so.

I was in an argument with someone, and I was insisting these claims were just rumors, because that's what Snopes says. Then I actually spent five minutes listening to the video, which you haven't apparently done, and found that Snopes is full of shit on this one.

Then I listened to the tape, which you apparently haven't bothered to do since Snopes already told you what you wanted to hear.

What they say about the polygraph comment is just flatly untrue, as is their remarks on her description of getting the man off.

Her responses do not bother me in the least.

She laughs about the polygraph because she could see through the guy.

She laughs about the "miscarriage of justice" because she knows it's ironic. She knows it's all bullshit. How many defense attorneys defend the guilty? Almost all of them.

Every time I hear her laugh about that I gain respect for her. The Constitution grants even the guilty the right to a strong defense.

“When I heard that tape I was pretty upset, I went back to the room and was talking to my two cousins and I cried a little bit. I ain’t gonna lie, some of this has got me pretty down,” she said. “But I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to stand up to her. I’m going to stand up for what I’ve got to stand up for, you know?”

I guess most of you never took a civics course...everyone has the right to a defense...even vile rapists...and lawyer are sworn to represent their clients to the best of their ability. Of course, none of you understand how things work as shown by your inability to vote properly. This is a doctored tape that was debunked by Snopes and only people who want to help Trump would post such a thing.

Maybe you missed a reading comprehension class. My post here was about how her answers in the interview affected the victim. The tape isn't doctored and I don't need the crack team of Google searchers at Snopes to tell me anything. It was very poor judgement for Clinton not to have apologized for the interview when it resurfaced a few years ago.

Secondly, we're all entitled to a defense. However, there's nothing in the Constitution saying that a defense attorney running for president must not get any criticism for implying young child rape victims often fantasize about sexual experiences with older men.

I wish everyone accused of a crime had an advocate as ethical and enthusiastic as HRC was in this case, then maybe our legal system would be a bit more equal and fair.

I love how this story cycles through forums sometimes, because this actually shows HRC in a positive light.

Bernie Sanders 'Rape' Essay

http://www.snopes.com/bernie-sanders-essay/

A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused.

A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.

The man and woman get dressed up on Sunday — and go to Church, or maybe to their 'revolutionary' political meeting.

Have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore? Do you know why the newspaper with the articles like 'Girl 12 raped by 14 men' sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?
