Well Hillary, if the seamen was collected from the little girl, are you saying she put it there herself?

Has Hillary's client gone on to inflict anymore pain upon innocent folks?

...a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape...

And thus began her life's vocation in handling "Bimbo Eruptions" which would come to serve her so well in the future.

-—well, nonetheless, thanks to those slave owning property owners that wrote the Constitution, even rapists are allowed to have lawyers—

In late 1974, Rodham arrived in Fayetteville, Ark., after working for nearly a year on the legal staff of the House committee investigating Watergate. Her friends thought she was throwing away a promising big-city career, but she was intent on helping her boyfriend Bill Clinton get elected to Congress that year

RON ROSENBAUM, HISTORY NEWS NETWORK - I covered the impeachment hearings to the bitter end when Nixon resigned in August 1974. . . I have no memory of seeing young Hillary Rodham in the hearing room, but I remember thinking at the time of the Impeachment Committee staff as heroic seekers of truth.

But Hillary's boss on the staff, Jerome Zeifman, asserts now that one reason she's downplayed her Impeachment Committee service is that she has something to hide.

He accuses her of "unethical" conduct, says that "Hillary . . . lied to me" and that she was a pawn in a Kennedy-orchestrated conspiracy to manipulate the impeachment hearings. And he claims he has a witness to corroborate this characterization: "After President Nixon's resignation," Zeifman writes, "a young lawyer, who shared an office with Hillary, confided in me that he was dismayed by her erroneous legal opinions and efforts to deny Nixon representation by counsel - as well as an unwillingness to investigate Nixon. In my diary of August 12, 1974 I noted the following:

'John Labovitz apologized to me for the fact that months ago he and Hillary had lied to me' [to conceal rules changes and dilatory tactics]. Labovitz said, "That came from Yale." I said, "You mean Burke Marshall [Sen. Ted Kennedy's chief political strategist, with whom Hillary regularly consulted in violation of House rules]. Labovitz said, "Yes." His apology was significant to me, not because it was a revelation but because of his contrition.' "

The "dilatory tactics" Zeifman alleges were part of what he portrays as a Kennedy clan strategy to stretch out the impeachment hearings (which ended in August '74, when the so-called "smoking gun" tape - which revealed Nixon attempting to use the CIA to cover up a White House connection to the break-in—caused Nixon to lose even hard-core GOP loyalist support and resign). Zeifman claims the Kennedy strategy was to keep Richard Nixon in office so a liberal (perhaps a Kennedy) could run in 1976 against a damaged president Nixon rather than the relatively unblemished GOP Vice President Gerald Ford.

Zeifman claims that to implement this strategy, Hillary attempted to revise the procedural rules for the Impeachment Committee, potentially opening up divisive delays. Zeifman also asserts that a "second objective of the strategy of delay was to avoid a Senate impeachment trial, in which as a defense Nixon might assert that Kennedy had authorized far worse abuses of power than Nixon's effort to 'cover up' the Watergate burglary (which Nixon had not authorized or known about in advance). In short, the crimes of Kennedy included the use of the Mafia to attempt to assassinate Castro, as well as the successful assassinations of Diem in Vietnam and Lumumba in the Congo."...

Even worse, she worked to deny Nixon representation by legal counsel for his impending impeachment.

If a rapist is to be defended, the credibility of the “victim” has to be challenged. It A concession that the victim is telling the truth is equivalent to a guilty plea.

Seems to me that in a way they are excusing her because this is what lawyers are trained to do - defend the guilty as if they were innocent. This is why I could never be a lawyer - I’d have put up a weak defense and let the guy pay and pay for this.

I just don’t think that the law is being used properly when it’s used to get the guilty off so the attorney can look good. To Hillary, winning is more important than what is right. This is why I crossed over and voted for Obama and why I’ll vote for McCain in November - despite not being happy about it.

"...how Clinton deals with crisis

I think we already know how she functions under pressure.

How many times did she say "I can't remember", "I can't recall", or make some other evasive statement during her Whitewater testimony in 1996.

I think I saw a document stating she used tactics like that 250 times.

The first of her many serial attacks on rape victims ... most raped by one ‘Bent Willie’ Clinton.

It is just one more piece of evidence that once a liar, always a liar if your name is Hillary Rodham Clinton. She has staked her entire career(?) on it. And it is the way of the larger part of Congress.

So this is where she learned the signature Clinton Inc tactic of trying to personally destroy the victim to get the guilty acquitted.

She was wrong to use the tactics she did. It is not a sign of intellectual ability, or agility, for people here to try and manufacture rationalizations for her choice in tactics.

That "it is my duty to win at all costs" is one of the comfortable little lies Lawyer tell themselves. That mindset is one of the reason the country's legal system is in such a mess.

No it is not. Lawyer are rational, moral human beings. They do have a moral, and intellectual, responsibility to accept the consequences of their actions not try to cop out with a Nuremberg style defense of "We were only following orders".

Still, it’s nice to know about some of that “experience” she so fondly refers to... that said, lawyers usually defend scumbags... those are the types on that side of the legal system.

The article says Hillary tries to win legal cases, no matter how controversial. “Bloom where your planted,” the article says is Hillary’s often stated ‘motto.’

I’m sure she would “bloom” in North Korea if she were born there.

It’s all about power; not principles.

Rodham, records show, questioned the sixth grader's honesty and claimed she had made false accusations in the past. She implied that the girl often fantasized and sought out "older men" like Taylor, according to a July 1975 affidavit signed "Hillary D. Rodham" in compact cursive.

GOOD GRIEF!!! She was DESTROYING the VICTIM evne THEN!! She is VILE and EVIL! a 12 year old GIRL she RUINED!
