Hillary Clinton explains why she opened up about Lewinsky affair in new docuseries (hurl alert)
Today ^ | 2/6/2020 | Scott Stump

Hillary Clinton knew that agreeing to open up about everything in her life for a new four-part documentary meant that there was no avoiding the painful and public scandal involving former President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

The former secretary of state spoke on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday about why she decided to revisit the extramarital affair between Lewinsky and her husband for the upcoming docuseries "Hillary" on Hulu.

"It was a really emotionally draining experience to go through it again, but I have to say, once I saw the whole four hours of the documentary, I hope that our talking about this, my willingness to address all of this, really does help other people," she told DeGeneres. "People need to be thoughtful about the decisions they make in their own lives, and we should be kinder and more supportive to everybody who makes the best decisions that they think they can make."(snip)

Hillary also opened up about the double standard she often encountered.

"It was such a strange conversation because some of the very same people who would say, 'I could never support her,' would say literally in the next breath, 'but I love her husband, I love Bill Clinton.'''

The film by director Nanette Burstein was whittled down from 1,700 hours of behind-the-scenes footage from her 2016 presidential campaign, including 35 hours of interviews with Hillary herself.

"Once I agreed to cooperate, the director said, 'Well, we're gonna talk about everything,''' she said. "I said OK, but when it actually came time, it's hard."

"We should be kinder and more supportive to everybody who makes the best decisions that they think they can make."

Little girl personifies everyone's reaction to that whopper.

Reliving the past, in the hopes many of the DEMs will want to return to “happier” days.

And that, my FRiends, is the difference between the public's reaction to a charming sociopath, and a dangerous psychopath who never bothered to perfect her mask.

What kind of logic is that? I know many couples; sometimes I like one of the spouses and not the other.

In the Clinton's case, I despise them both.

“”””””for the upcoming docuseries “Hillary” on Hulu””””””

In this documentary did she explain how she was able to get the FBI to spy on candidate Trump for her? That is pretty impressive.

I doubt she ever admits that the big problem with Monica is that she became a household name before she could be ‘dispositioned’.

“””””And people say she isn’t running for Prez!””””””””

People aren’t saying that ANYWHERE. Only she still thinks she won and she still thinks she is running. They make medication that can help people like that.

Linda Tripp who was lacerated for coming forward w/ the intimate details heard directly from lewinsky....
thought, as we all did---there'd be a quick resolution....Bill would, of course, resign in disgrace.

Later Linda said, she was amazed at the "Power of the Two;"
together they concocted and rehearsed An Act to extricate themselves from Bill's shocking sex mess.

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

The Clintons Solidarity Act never faltered.

Not to be forgotten: Bill getting lewinskied thrust (pun intended) Hillary into national positioning----something she
desperately wanted. Bill apparently had held her back "til it was her turn." Now, overnight, Hillary was at the
top and she grabbed every opportunity. Maybe Hillary calculated she could help usher Pres Bill out the door, and
fulfill her dream.....being a presidential candidate.

TIMELINE----One Clinton lies.....

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

And the other Clinton swears to it.

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

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
That smirk on Hillary's fave tells the story.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 800,000 dollars.

“Nothing like stabbing your husband a few more times.”

That’s what I think also. Also she’s stabbing herself as she stoops to regenerate already heard tabloid material.

NOBODY pays any attention to her.

She spent 1.4 billion dollars and still lost a rigged election to a politically nobody.

IF she ran would she like to explain how she got the FBI to lie to the FISA court to spy on her opponent?

THE CLINTONS AND THEIR ACCOMPLICES HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR OBSTRUCTNG JUSTICE:

<><> Then Pres Clinton's aides were ordered to call reporters to say that J.F.K. had fooled around with young women at the White House.

<><> Hillary set-up with our tax dollars, WHAT SHE CALLED a Bimbo Eruption Team to lacerate, defame and shoot down any woman who dared surface with stories of her husband's flagrant infidelities.

<><> The Bimbo Eruption Team office in the West Wing operated for eight years and enabled Bill to be exculpated, gave Hillary massive exposure and got her elected to the Senate......all with our tax dollars.

<><> One notorious accomplice was Clinton aide, George Stephanopolous, now at ABC-News earning some $20 million a year. His job was to call the "bimbos" and discourage them from coming forward.

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

Remember, all of this took place in the era of vigilant and militant feminism.....an ideology to which the Clintons fervently adhered to.

The problem is....When he was running...a lot was known about his perversions already....and I watched an interview where she said "We're good". Power hungry b****. She already had plans.

Also remember that she didn't take his name until AFTER he had lost an election in Arkansass.

And like Pocahontas....she lied...saying she was named after Sir Hillary.

Just plain devious and VERY unlikable.
