It's easy in hindsight (especially given what is still at stake) to denigrate Juanita for not coming forward sooner about her rape at the hands of BillClinton. She obviously still has open wounds regarding it, understandably, and people process trauma differently. I agree, Flowers has much more guts and nerve, and Jones seemed to want to follow through regardless of the anguish it would cause her. But Juanita is a rape victim, and personally I'm very slow to condemn her.

One who hasn't gone through such a thing isn't qualified to pass judgment.

It took me years (I still struggle with "It was my fault for putting myself in the position").

Thank you for your kind reply. I never meant to condemn or denigrate her in any way.

Perhaps, I didn't explain myself properly. What I was trying to infer was the fact that it would have helped to expose the clinton machinery had she come forward at a time, when possibly,he could have been held accountable by losing the election.

For whatever reason she had to speak out, it was too late. This was my point.
