Hillary: Kavanaugh’s Accuser Deserves ‘the Benefit of the Doubt’
Grabien ^ | September 18, 2018

Posted on 09/19/2018 7:39:11 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

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.

I think she actually doesn't see realize how ridiculous this statement sounds, in light of how her husband's accusers were treated by people following her instructions.

He brain, her thought processes, are so polluted, so messed up, that she actually believes herself to be a "champion for women."

Feel free to give her all the benefits of your doubts all day long, and every day. Twist the FBI’s arms and legs into investigating the virtually un-investigatable.

We all know that you’re not asking for investigations and benefits of doubt for it’s own sake, but instead to delay a nomination. If you didn’t want to delay a nomination for it’s own sake, you should have submitted this information back when it could have been handled in the course and process of the nomination.

IT IS YOUR FAULT this was not brought up during hearings and investigations. Do not penalize the process for your mistake.

Now go back to giving benefits of doubts

It’s a shame she’s allowed to comment at all as Hillary should be behind bars at a federal penetentiary working in the laundry room.

Ford's accusations should not be given one ounce of credibility until she makes them under oath with full consequences of perjury in play. Kavanaugh's attorneys should be allowed to depose her in advance of her appearing before the committee.

Congress should pass a law to eliminate the threat of late night accusations as a tool in derailing campaigns or appointments. It should be a felony to make a false accusation in an attempt to influence a Federal Election or appointment. If an accusation is made to influence, the accuser must submit to a deposition by the attorney for the accused 3 days after the the attorney provides public notice demanding the deposition. Failure to appear would carry a mandatory minimum 1 year in prison (no probation or parole) up to 5 years.

This will put an stop to this tactic. If not, the Democrats will continue to use it.

There would be people serving time for the Herman Caine and Roy Moore accusations if such a law had been in effect.

I’m not sure why anyone listens to this absolute horse’s ass of a female.

She is the Queen of Fail.

I cannot think of any other woman, ever, who has made a bigger fool of herself than Hillary F***in’ Clinton.

Deserve a fair hearing? Like each of the dozens of women who complained about your husband, the ones you personally attempted to destroy? That kind of fair hearing?

Unreal how she has always been able to lie and not get hit with a bolt of lighting. I bet if she had to stop lying, she would stop breating.
