How Hillary Clinton became the mother of modern sexual harassment
Flopping Aces ^ | 11-21-17 | DrJohn

You can place the blame for the current epidemic of sexual harassment right at the feet of Bill and Hillary Clinton. It could be argued that it began with Ted Kennedy, who let Mary Jo Kopechne drown while he chilled out at a hotel after saving himself, but it was the Clinton's who raised  the politics of sexual harassment and personal destruction to an art form.

As the accusers of Bill Clinton came forward, Bill Clinton's top aide Betsy Wright coined them term "bimbo eruptions" and she and she colleagues then set about to destroy the women who dared speak of their treatment at the hands of Bill Clinton. Then Hillary took over. Her plan included such efforts as “I would crucify her”

“I think, by then [Bill’s presidential run], Hillary had a very good notion of Bill’s behavior,” said her longtime friend Nancy Pietrafesa. “Maybe she endured it, but I don’t think she condoned it.”

Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton dismissed an accusation made by Gennifer Flowers, the singer who sold her story to a supermarket tabloid after having previously denied an affair. In an ABC News interview, she called Flowers “some failed cabaret singer who doesn’t even have much of a résumé to fall back on.” She told Esquire magazine in 1992 that if she had the chance to cross-examine Flowers, “I mean, I would crucify her.”

and  "We have to destroy her story."
According to journalist Michael Isikoff, the Clinton campaign in 1992 spent $100,000 on private-detective work related to women. The approach, when rumors first popped up, was to get affidavits from women denying affairs — the reflex of most women is to avoid exposure — and, failing that, to use any discrediting tool at hand.

Hillary was fully on board. When a rock groupie told Penthouse in late 1991 that a state trooper approached her on Gov. Clinton’s behalf, Hillary said, “We have to destroy her story.”

And that is what her posse, led by George Stephanopoulos, then undertook to do. The Clinton gang began deriding the women victims of Bill Clinton, calling them "trailer park trash" and "sleazy woman with big hair" and  “Drag $100 bills through trailer parks, there’s no telling what you’ll find.” The left wing media were willing participants in this sordid episode. And then there was Juanite Broaddrick. No one wanted to listen to her assertion that Bill Clinton raped her.

The allegation with which the Clintons have never truly had to grapple is Juanita Broaddrick’s charge of rape. The media roll their eyes whenever this comes up, but Broaddrick deserves better. Her story has been consistent over the years; she told people about the alleged assault at the time; and her account includes telling details that accord with what other women have said about encounters with Bill.
She never backed off. Far too late and grudgingly some in the left wing media began to accept her story as credible.

Bill Clinton's victims are now amused by the sudden piety of left wing politicians all too willing to position themselves on the right side of history only for the sake of politics:

Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct, said it "is a little bit too late" for Democratic women to come out against the former president.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and a number of others said Clinton should have resigned under the specter of sexual misconduct allegations in the 1990s.

"We were not believed," Jones said. "[We] did not get any kind of help whatsoever from any of those liberal women."

Broaddrick said it was "absolutely disgusting" to see the backlash come against Clinton after they exited electoral politics.

"This great epiphany should've occurred 20 years ago," she said. "I should feel ecstatic about it but don't."

Jeffrey Lord summarized the Clinton tactics nicely:

-—”This great epiphany should’ve occurred 20 years ago,” she said.-—

Which begs the question that some others are asking: “Why now?”.

Whatever the real reason, I suspect the NWO goons will not let this particular crisis go to waste.

One thing I know - the JFK assassination papers and Hillary/0bama’s Uranium One have long been forgotten. So has Las Vegas.

What is really funny is that this new round of accusations against "The Bent One" caused Hitliary to tell her husband's lawyers to go after the new crop of accusers.

The lawyers told her that wouldn't work this time.

HA!

Ronan Farrow's new piece on Weinstein in The New Yorker makes me believe we do not have the entire Clinton/lewinski story.....b/c the Clintons are equally as depraved as the lowlifes in Peckerwood.

EXCERPT/FARROW---After his victim contacted the police, Weinstein drew upon a network of high-powered defense lawyers, former law-enforcement officials, and private investigators who help the wealthy try to thwart criminal investigations.

Unbeknownst to her, Weinstein’s attorneys hired the private intelligence firm K2, founded by the corporate-intelligence magnate Jules Kroll, and tasked its agents with insuring that the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, did not press charges against Weinstein.

One of Weinstein’s defense lawyers, Elkan Abramowitz, whose clients include New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and who is a partner at the firm that formerly employed Vance, oversaw K2’s work. The intelligence firm hired Italian private investigators to dig up information on his victim's sexual history, according to three individuals with knowledge of its work. (A spokesperson for K2 said that the firm’s work in the Gutierrez case involved only online and public-records searches regarding her past.)

Keep in mind, then-president Clinton had top-level INTEL at his disposal....he did not have to hire private investigators.

The conniving Conyers is using the patented proven Clinton defense......... After willy got lewinskied, the Clintons first took a poll. The poll told them they could get away with it as long as they denied, denied, denied for as long as possible.....then willy could confess.

Hillary actually setup a bimbo war room in the Old West Wing of the WH.....a dozen tax-paid factotums worked there for 8 years.

Their only tax-paid job was to shoot down Bill’s accusers. It got him reelected....and saved Hillary’s political ***.

(HAT TIP PUBLIUS911)----Lost in the confusion and noise the real event everyone seems to have forgotten: LED BY HILLARY, the Clintons' war on women army (paid for by taxpayers) lasted 8 years! and did nothing else!

ABC-TV anchor George Stephanopoulous, ----then Bill's aide----was commandeered to head Hillary's Bombo Eruption Team.

THE WHITE HOUSE OLD WEST WING "BIMBO WAR ROOM" CREATED BY HILLARY, WAS STAFFED WITH A DOZEN TAXPAYER-PAID "INVESTIGATORS" WITH THE EXCLUSIVE TASK OF INVESTIGATING AND DESTROYING WILLIE'S WOMEN---HILLARY CALLED THEM BIMBO ERUPTIONS.

Has Hillary been asked about that? If not, why not?

Remember, Bill knew it was all true....but he allowed our tax dollars to be extorted for Hillary's vengeful war on willy's women.....and to save her political ***.

========================================

Taxpayers demand Congress call Hillary and these staffers to account for their demeaning-anti-women activity paid for by taxpayers.

Good to know, I thought George Snuffleupagus coined it, since he used it so much during the '92 campaign.
