to choose how to mount their defense.

It is all about choice; it is all about freedom; it is all about liberty.

Maggie Hagerman and Amy Choziak chose to write a news story charging that Hilliary Clinton shielded a sexual harasser 10 years ago. The New York Times chose to publish this story on January 26, 2018 to a readership and audience of millions.

Many news outlet and gossip purveyors choose to reprint and re-broadcast the charges regarding the events of 10 years ago.

Hillary Clinton chose to defend herself by posting to her Facebook page on January 31, 2018 her explanation.

It seems to me the entity that should be questioned is The NYTimes.

One of the few people willing to tell that there were wicked things going on in 2016 was Hillary Clinton. Therefore I want to hear everything she has to say.
