However, that account leaves out attempting to impugn the credibility of the victim.
Rodham 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.
In terms of what's good for the little girl? It would have been hell on the victim. But that wasn't Hillary's problem.
The victim, now 46, told Newsday that she was raped by Taylor, denied that she wanted any relationship with him and blamed him for contributing to three decades of severe depression and other personal problems.
"It's not true, I never sought out older men - I was raped," the woman said in an interview in the fall. Newsday is withholding her name as the victim of a sex crime.
With all the anguish she'd felt over the case in the years since, there was one thing she never realized - that the lawyer for the man she reviles was none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"I have to understand that she was representing Taylor," she said when interviewed in prison last fall. "I'm sure Hillary was just doing her job."
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 and was intrigued by her new job running the university's nascent legal aid clinic.

Granted, “defense” attorneys are, absolutely, the slimiest, most despicable, bottom feeding scum on the planet, but this is a new low, even by that standard. Particularly when the perpetrator then alleges to represent the rights and welfare of children. Just incredible, but pure Hillary.
Interesting.
