I am not going to condemn a victimized woman for not aggressively and immediately going public who had already been physically attacked by a politically powerful man, thus proving to her that he was ruthless and would do as he wanted with and to her.
The Clintons are masters of intimidation.
She was foolish to meet him alone, but again, he was a powerful man, and presumably one who held the public trust.
If you really look at it, the Krintons are perfect rulers for the impending New Feudalism.
