The mantra of Clinton being a serial rapist is a textbook example of the "Big Lie" technique of telling a lie over and over until eventually, people will believe it.
Ya gotta love all the "unknown settlements" the Blue Quack posted up too. Only one settlement was made, and that was for a case that had been dismissed by a judge as being without merit.
It most certainly would have been lost on appeal.
It was "get out of my hair - the country has been through enough" money.
sure it was dismissed, then the same judge that dismissed it found him in contempt of court and slapped 90K fines on him for "intentionally misleading" testimony during that trial. As a result of that he was suspended from the bar for 5 years and fined another 25K to avoid total disbarment, and ultimately surrendered his supreme court license, among other things.
Clinton v. Jones - Wikipedia
"In the end, Independent Counsel Ray said:
"The Independent Counsel’s judgment that sufficient evidence existed to prosecute President Clinton was confirmed by President Clinton’s admissions and by evidence showing that he engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice."
More specifically, the Independent Counsel concluded that President Clinton testified falsely on three counts under oath in
Clinton v. Jones. However, Ray chose to decline criminal prosecution in favor of what the
Principles of Federal Prosecution call "alternative sanctions". This included being impeached:
"As a consequence of his conduct in the
Jones v. Clinton civil suit and before the federal grand jury, President Clinton incurred significant administrative sanctions. The Independent Counsel considered seven non-criminal alternative sanctions that were imposed in making his decision to decline prosecution: (1) President Clinton’s admission of providing false testimony that was knowingly misleading, evasive, and prejudicial to the administration of justice before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas; (2) his acknowledgement that his conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Arkansas Supreme Court; (3) the five-year suspension of his license to practice law and $25,000 fine imposed on him by the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas; (4) the civil contempt penalty of more than $90,000 imposed on President Clinton by the federal court for violating its orders; (5) the payment of more than $850,000 in settlement to Paula Jones; (6) the express finding by the federal court that President Clinton had engaged in contemptuous conduct; and (7) the substantial public condemnation of President Clinton arising from his impeachment."
These seven sanctions, Ray reasoned, were "sufficient", and therefore he did not pursue further sanctions in a criminal proceeding.
