With the news of the Epstein arrest, and the additional danger to the Trump Presidency that it brings, especially if Epstein turns state's evidence, has all the Russian trolls working overtime today to deflect guilt onto Obama and Hillary.
You know, those two corrupt administrations that Republicans have spent years investigating, without coming up with a single illegal act that either one of them committed. Obama's in the first administration in memory to have no arrests or firings for corruption. The Clinton's had one Administration member fired, and tried for corruption. Compared to more than 30 for Nixon and over 100 Reagan officials who were charged with various corruption charges in the Iran/Contra mess.
Republicans TALK about Democrats being corrupt, but the evidence and the charges suggest it's Republicans who are the ones who think they're above the law. It's like how they Republicans say Democrats have no morals, and yet the Speaker of the House who was jailed for sexually abusing young boys - a Republican. Newt Gingerich was decrying Bill Clinton for being a slime, while Newt told his wife he want a divorce while she lay dying of cancer. I think it's basically, any rich, powerful guy out there thinks he can get away with sexually abusing others for their own fun and enjoyment.
Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, Newt Gingerich, Elliott Spitzer, Anthony Weiner.
But here is where Bill Clinton, doesn't fit in with these guys: There is absolutely no credibly evidence that Bill Clinton forced anyone to do anything. Or that he had sex with anyone against her will.
For more than 20 years, Anita Broaddrick denied that Bill Clinton raped her. She worked on several of his campaigns, did fundraising on his behalf. I can't think of a single woman who would do anything but spit on the man who violently raped her as is claimed by Republicans. Anita even gave her sworn affidavit in the Paula Jones case stating unequivocably that Bill Clinton did not rape her. She only claimed Clinton raped her AFTER Ken Starr threatened to charge her with perjury and throw her in jail if she refused to recant that Affidavit. I choose to believe her actions and sworn testimony over a 20 year period. I can fully believe a woman who is married and cheating on both her husband and her lover, would tell a lie, like "I was raped" to cover up her cheating on both of them.
Anita Broaddrick has amply demonstrated that she is not a reliable witness, have told various versions of events to fit whatever circumstances she was facing at the time. But her continued support of and work for Bill Clinton - candidate, tells me she wasn't raped. Why would you ever want to see a guy who beat and raped you succeed in public office? The short answer is you wouldn't. Nor would you be willing to work on his campaigns, and risk putting yourself in another situation where he could attack you again. If she were actually raped, she would not have wanted to have anything further to do with Clinton.
By the time she gave her affidavit in the Jones trial, Broaddrick had long since divorced her first husband, and married the man she'd been having the affair with. She had nothing to lose and no reason to lie. And she swore that what had happened in that room that night, was not rape. And then she asked for privacy and not to be troubled again with this question. In response, Ken Starr attacked and threatened her with jail time. He had jailed Kathleen MacDougall for over a year, and Broaddrick took the threat seriously. Starr could corroberate the rape story, and hence the perjury charge using the testimony of her ex-husband and friends she had told at the time. Starr offered immunity from prosecution to the perjury charge if she recanted. She did as she was told.
