"I mean, there can’t be one set of rules for Democrats and one set of rules for Republicans.

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton weighed into the controversy over Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who's accusing him of sexual assault 35 years ago, Christine Ford.
Kavanaugh's accuser, Clinton said, deserves "the benefit of the doubt.
Here's a transcript of her remarks:
MADDOW: “If the Brett Kavanaugh nomination is now hurdling into the suns, which is what I think, and that’s just my take on it. I don’t know if that will be proven right or wrong, there is the question about how the Senate should handle this matter going forward. I mean, there is this screwy precedent now where Republicans would not let President Obama fill an opening on the supreme Court created by the death of Justice Scalia for nearly a year until they got another shot at the White House in the 2016 election.
"Some Republican senators during the election campaign said that if you were elected in 2016, they fully intended to hold that seat open for all four years if necessary to give a Republican another shot at holding it. Given that extreme recent history, do you think that Democrats should play that kind of hardball too, be prepared to use those kinds of tactics so as not to be sort of the Patsy being pushed around on this, or do you think Democrats should just go through regular order with whoever Trump has to put up next if the Kavanaugh nomination fails?”
CLINTON: “What I would like to see is a democratic majority that actually has the chance to make that choice right now the Democrats have very few tools at their disposal to stop the Republicans from going full speed ahead and engaging in the kind of unprecedented behavior as they did with the Garland nomination.

RUSH: Okay, folks. I want to share some things with you that may be fake news, but if they’re not fake, I want to be on record as having had them for you. There’s a Twitter thread out there. I have no idea the veracity because, as you know, I do not “twit.” But this particular thread claims that the reason that Dianne Feinstein was reluctant to go public with Christine Blasey Ford’s letter is because she received a similar letter from the woman about Judge Gorsuch. No idea whether this is fake news or true.
But given who we’re talking about here, I can believe that it would be true, ‘cause I think we’re dealing with genuinely disturbed, emotionally depraved, poisoned-with-hatred lunatics. I have no idea if it’s true. There’s another bit of news going around that has a little bit more credibility but still it doesn’t pass the “definitely happened” test. It is that Peter Strzok Smirk and Lisa Page were caught destroying evidence on their final days at the FBI. Neither two bits of news can be confirmed. But let me tell you something.
The New York Times and the Washington Post and USA Today and all the rest of them are publishing fake news and lies every damn day without one bit of concern whether they’re true or not, and half of them they didn’t even bother to correct. And it’s not something normally that I get into. But these two things have the tinge of believability to them, and I just want to get them out there in case it eventuates that they’re actually true. I can’t confirm either one.
But you know, I’m sick and tired of being hampered here. These people get to lie and distort and do whatever they want under the banner of premier journalism each and every day, making up sources, making up quotes, writing such things as, “President Trump, without evidence, today claimed” blah, blah. But they never say, “Christine Blasey Ford, without evidence, claimed today that Brett Kavanaugh pinned her down in a high school room in a house and so forth 42 years ago when they both were...” Who knows.

No, she doesn’t, and neither do you, criminal woman.
Hillary had too much “medicine”, again.
Hey Hillary...you are referred to as “Hitlery” for good reason.
Go to Hell.
Ya Hillary .....how about Juanita Broaddrick?!!!
The only thing she deserves is the same thing Hillary does - a step into eternity from a short rope and a noose.
Slick Willie’s accusers never got the benifit of doubt.
Instead of being in prison, Hillary is free and being listened to as if she is Winston Churchill.
She and her survival out of prison are reasons why we are today on the edge of physical civil war.
After she and Bill got off , people like me have never looked back and will never be moderate again.
Into Lewinsky, Monica Lewinsky, into Lewinsky, Monica Lewinsky. G-Eazy
To paraphrase James Carville, “Wave a $50 bill through a college campus, there’s no telling what you might turn up.” Hmmm... Even a few “bimbo eruptions”, right Hillary?
I agree, give Ford the benefit of the doubt and don’t prosecute her for false reporting.
Ohmygosh. Did those who accused Clinton of rape get the “benefit of doubt” from hillary the Enabler?
So does Brett Kavanaugh.
Well played, Juanita! Ford needs to put some ice on it.....what I’m not sure.
Oh shut up and go back to your gin bottle, you smelly yellow-toothed hag!
Your husband is a sexual predator and you are his lifetime enabler. You’re so stupid and drunk, you think your opinion actually matters!
As opposed to the ‘nuts and sluts’ campaign she oversaw in the 90s.
