You are correct that it is the job of a defense attorney to zealously advocate their clients cause. This Hildabeast can go practice law and point to this instance as evidence of her success at practicing that profession.
With that being said, this should kill her chances of running for President or even VP. She was not having a serious conversation about the profession, she was laughing about how clever she could be in getting someone she knew was guilty of the most demeaning and cruel crime imaginable off the hook. My Constitutional Law professor was at the time one of the top Supreme Court practitioners in the country, if not the top. He shared a story of successfully defending an individual very early in his career that later committed further crimes. He was deadly serious in this discussion, the obligations we have to be an advocate - but within limits, such as attacking illegally obtained evidence, and for us to recognize the anguish that it can cause us personally (I did not go into criminal law as I really could not deal with that aspect). I don’t think Hillary necessarily considered the limits, and her demeanor in the tape shows how callous she is. That is what will kill her chances, provided the tape and the victim’s story can reach the masses.
Seems like turnabout is fair play. Mitt Romney’s 47% comments were likely presented to the masses far out of the context of that private conversation, and he never did get a good clarification out as such really couldn’t be put in a 5 second soundbite. The rationale was there but would take a whole minute or two to explain. Hillary’s laughing about getting a rapist off the hook should be played over and over again if she runs, to show just what an arrogant and out of touch person she really is at her core.
Thank you for this. There are posters on this and other similar threads who aren’t able to separate Hilary’s acts as defense lawyer (legal or not) and her callous disregard of the victim in subsequent discussions about the case.
Hillary has shown herself to be one of the most ruthless politicians of our era. She has no empathy for her fellow man, least of all for her fellow woman, dozens of whom have been destroyed in order to maintain her and her husband’s political viability.
These traits are on display in this recording of the young Hillary Clinton. Anything is acceptable as long as she comes out the winner.
Compare the young Hillary with the women she became, as seen here:

This is at the same time videos of Gaddafi’s rape torture killing were coming to light. Did he deserve to die? Perhaps. But have we ever seen a senior politician display such a flippant attitude about the torture death of a another human being?
This woman deserves to be destroyed, just as she has destroyed others. Anyone who says “She was just doing her job” in regard to the rape case is not seeing the big picture. She will crush her enemies (that’s us) and laugh about it, if we are foolish enough to give her the chance.
