Hillary Clinton is drawing a contrast between the sexual misconduct allegations against her husband, former President Clinton, and those leveled against President Trump.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, said the main difference between the allegations is that there was an investigation led by Republicans into the claims against her husband, while Clinton said there has been no serious investigation of Trump.
"There's a very significant difference, and that is the intense, long-lasting, partisan investigation that was conducted in the '90s," Clinton said.
"If the Republicans, starting with President Trump on down, want a comparison, they should welcome such an investigation themselves," she added.
The allegations of rape and assault against Bill Clinton, which the former president has denied, received new scrutiny during the 2016 campaign. Days after the "Access Hollywood" tape of Trump talking about grabbing the genitals of women was released, the Republican candidate brought several women who have made claims against Bill Clinton to the second presidential debate.
More scrutiny for both Bill Clinton and Trump has come in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
Bill and Hillary Clinton on Monday announced that they going on a a 13-city tour over the next year to host conservations about politics and current events.
Clinton during the CNN interview said Bill during the tour will be discussing the challenges he faced as president.
Clinton was impeached after lying under oath about having a consensual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, who was then a White House intern. He has been accused by four women of nonconsensual sexual interactions.
Trump has faced allegations of unwanted groping and kissing from more than a dozen women since he came into office. He has denied the allegations.
The known differences -
Clinton:
- formally charged with sexual harassment and settled the case
- impeached for perjury, obstruction of justice; lost law license
- proven sexual activity in the Oval Orafice
- at least one accusation of rape (J Broderick) has never been debunked
Trump:
- never been charged, not even civil
- all informal harassment accusers have been debunked
There’s a very significant difference, and that is the intense, long-lasting, partisan investigation that was conducted in the ‘90s,” Clinton said.
She right. Trump paid for his, Clinton beat a woman in the face, raped her and then gave her advice to put ice on it
Hmmm.
EVIDENCE, and WITNESSES would be another difference.
“No investigation“? Robert Mueller is running a two year long, unlimited budget investigation using dozens of Democratic Party operatives.
She’s lying and the MSM just cover for her. To paraphrase Ben Shapiro, the media’s relationship with Hillary is the same as BJ’s (Bill Jefferson), they put up with her until they find someone better. Then, they’ll dump her in a minute. They don’t really like her.
> Well, one difference is that Bubba was getting his knob polished while he was IN OFFICE.
Not just while in office, but actually while on the phone discussing the bombing of Serbia!
Keep screaming until the mid terms Shrillary!!
“Poor Al Franken had allegations come up while liberals were in a state of hysteria and confusion.”
Al Franken was sacrificed in hopes of being able to also take down Trump in the midst of the “me-too” hysteria.
Too bad Al, all for nought. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. /s
Is she planning on running again ? Is that why she crawled out from under her rock ?
Clinton was already in office when this occurred.
The biggest difference is that Trump was still a candidate when the "Billy Bush tape" was released, and the people still voted him into office.

“They don’t really like her.”
No one likes Hillary. It’s obvious she doesn’t even like herself. It must drive her nuts that for all his faults Bill Clinton could give a persuasive speech and have people adore him.
“Let’s see here:
Trump was not President when any of his actions occurred.
No one has claimed that Trump raped them.”
The Republicans did not investigate Bill Clinton. A special prosecutor appointed by Clinton’s own Attorney General conducted the investigation.
While Hillary and the Democrats claim the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton was about “sex”, the charges were perjury and obstruction of justice, not sexual assault. Clinton was fined by a US district court for giving false testimony in Jones v. Clinton lawsuit. Clinton’s state law license was suspended by the state of Arkansas and he was fined $25,000. His US Supreme Court law license was also suspended.
Independent Counsel Ray concluded Clinton gave false testimony three times in the Clinton vs. Jones case. The independent counsel elected not to prosecute Clinton in criminal court due to the administration actions, which included an $850,000 payment to Paula Jones, fines by the courts, and loss of law license.
To date there has been no accusation or determination President Trump committed perjury by deliberately giving false testimony in court regarding the sexual allegations against him.
The differences are significant. Bill Clinton was proven to be a perjurer who lied under oath about sex with a subordinate. Bill Clinton is said by multiple credible witnesses to be a violent rapist. The worst allegation against President Donald Trump is that (according to a prostitute and her even sleazier lawyer) he paid a professional for her services and then paid her to go away quietly (which she didn’t do).
Wonder how much Hillary paid Webb Hubbell to father her baby???????
As I frequently tell my kids (to their great annoyance),
“The first rule of holes is: stop digging.”
Hillary evidently never learned that lesson...for which I am glad, else she would not have revealed her true self - which is a loathsome, power-hungry, corrupt and vindictive creature.
Juanita Broderick's petition to investigate Clinton's sex crimes is important because Bill Clinton continues to receive federal benefits.
<><>No criminal investigation has ever been conducted into Bill Clinton's sex crimes.
<><> a federal investigation is warranted because the crimes may have occurred across state lines.
<><> an investigation into the rape of Juanita Broaddrick is absolutely necessary,
<><> Clinton's sex crimes may constitute civil rights violations because women specifically were targeted.
========================================
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE----Prominent attorney David Schippers became a public figure when a friend of his, Congressman Henry Hyde, asked him to be the Chief Investigative Counsel for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers was a lifelong Democrat but accepted and took the job in April 1998.
The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether President Bill Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which he committed perjury regarding his affair with then-White House Intern Monica Lewinsky. After an investigation, the committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton, a decision supported by Schippers.
On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee: "The President, then, has lied under oath in a civil deposition, lied under oath in a criminal grand jury. He lied to the people, he lied to his Cabinet, he lied to his top aides, and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States. There's no one left to lie to."
==============================================
The Clintons were quite a pair back then.
One Clinton lies.....
"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."
And the other Clinton swears to it.
Standing by her man (sniffle). Hillary KNEW his sexual abuse was true---
the Clintons took a secret a poll and were advised to lie as long as they could.
=============================================
VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
That smirk on Hillary's face tells the story.
Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."
Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 850,000 dollars.
I wonder if she bought the turkey baster at an Arkansas Dollar Store?
Sure, Your Heiness, but we’ll begin our investigation into your beloved husband not in the 90s but in 1969 at Oxford where Eileen Wellstone accused him of sexual assault.
