Hillary: Bill's Monica Lie His First; Estrich: He Denied Rape

In an interview to be broadcast Sunday, New York Senator Hillary Clinton makes the bizarre claim to ABC's Barbara Walters that her husband had never lied to her before Aug. 15, 1998, when he supposedly came clean about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

"She went through all of the investigations in the White House, all of which turned out to be either a false alarm or that they had done nothing wrong," Walters told syndicated radio host Sean Hannity.

"So when [Lewinsky] happened, [Hillary] said, and I'm almost quoting, 'Oh my gosh, one more thing,'" the ABC News star explained.

"She also said that her husband had never lied to her. And I think that his lying to her was almost worse that the fact that he had this relationship."

Hannity was incredulous at the claim that Clinton's Lewinsky lie was his first.

"Am I understanding you correctly?" he asked Walters. "She's telling you in this interview, even though Gennifer Flowers, when she held that press conference in 1992 . . . [that] the only time she really believed that he had this relationship with Gennifer Flowers was after he gave the deposition?"

Growing a bit defensive, Walters replied, "Look, I'm just telling you what she says, OK?"

In a related development, Democratic Party strategist Susan Estrich revealed for the first time on Thursday that Bill Clinton has assured her personally that he did not rape Arkansas businesswoman Juanita Broaddrick.

Estrich said that in a conversation after the charges surfaced in 1999, "I asked him straight out, point blank, if there was any truth to the allegations of rape?"

Clinton had a one word answer, "No." - a denial that Estrich says she believed.

"I'm a rape victim, I changed rape law in America, there's nothing I feel stronger about," the Democratic insider insisted. "If I honestly believed he was a rapist, I would have stopped defending him years ago."

Estrich's assessment differs with that of former Clinton defender and one-time sex crimes prosecutor Cynthia Alksne, who has argued that Broaddrick's account is persuasive enough to send the ex-president to jail for felony rape

Clinton has never publicly denied Broaddrick's rape accusation. Instead, in 1999 he advised then-ABC News White House correspondent Sam Donaldson to talk to his lawyer after Donaldson asked about the Broaddrick case during a press conference.

"If I honestly believed he was a rapist, I would have stopped defending him years ago."

Yeah...and if Steven Feldman (another lawyer) had honestly believed David Westerfield was guilty of raping and killing a 7-year-old he'd have stopped defending him too.

Frickin' lying sacks of shiite.

In an interview to be broadcast Sunday, New York Senator Hillary Clinton makes the bizarre claim to ABC's Barbara Walters that her husband had never lied to her before Aug. 15, 1998, when he supposedly came clean about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

So she's finally admitting that she KNEW everything else?

[kattracks]

Yep, after all, she had private investigators digging up the dirt on all of bill's bimbos.

[Howlin]

I don't read that like Hannity does; I read it as her saying that he told her the truth about everything up until that day.

And when Barbara says

"She went through all of the investigations in the White House, all of which turned out to be either a false alarm or that they had done nothing wrong,"

she's basically saying they got away with it with Hillary's full knowledge.

Somehow, I don't think this book is going to turn out like Hillary thought it was going to.

Didn't Clinton also rape a woman at Oxford? Isn't that why he had to leave the university without completing his studies?

"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"

Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

[fishbabe]

of course its the feminists who told us women NEVVVVVVVVVVVER lie about rape

[RightWinger]

Clinton had a one word answer, "No." - a denial that Estrich says she believed.

Ha ha ha, a law professor and she believes the devil himself.
What an idiot!
Better put some ice on that brain.

[Joe Bfstplk]

It depends on what the definition of "rape" is.<P.

Why can't these people just go away?

[Diogenesis]

Walters is an enabler. She is also a liar, less likely a fool.

[DainBramage]

Its not rape to Bill. He assumes they all want him subconsciously,

so thats more like consensual sex with a few cuts and bruises.

[grumple]

(snip)Clinton has never publicly denied Broaddrick's rape accusation. Instead, in 1999 he advised then-ABC News White House correspondent Sam Donaldson to talk to his lawyer after Donaldson asked about the Broaddrick case during a press conference. (/snip)

Another classic example of this clown being able to assert special privilege whereas the common man would be sent to the dogs

I still don't understand how the feminists (NOW) supported Bill Clinton. I just don't understand it.

[Cincinatus]

It's not that difficult to understand. No matter what Bubba has done, he was always there to support their abortion rights, especially after the GOP victories of 1994 gave the Republicans the House. That's all NOW and the radical feminists care about and, bottom line, all they've ever cared about.

[kattracks]

They supported him because he was an advocate for lesbians and abortion "rights". They had no qualms about supporting him, regardless of his crude and criminal behavior, as long as they got what they wanted. Just like hillary!.

I'm still shaking my head... *Big sigh*

[oh8eleven]

I still don't understand how the feminists (NOW) supported Bill Clinton. I just don't understand it.

Because it's not about feminism - it's the liberal agenda they support.

[libertylover]

I still don't understand how the feminists (NOW) supported Bill Clinton. I just don't understand it.

Because Bill is a fellow abortion enthusiast.

[grania]

ha, ha, ha...the first lie he told was the one he was caught at. Think the Hildebeast wants to buy a bridge from me?

You know, in a funny sort of way, I would have respected Bill Clinton more if he got up there and told us, "yeah, I did some things with Monica I shouldn't have. (hold up Hillary's picture)...but this is what was waiting for me...she throws stuff, wears really ugly pantsuits, manipulates people, and thinks she's the one running the world.(now, hold up Monica's picture)...Now Monica, on the other hand (or whatever she used) brought me pizza, likes BigMacs, always went along with me, never screamed at me, thought I walked on water, she's somewhat fat but so am I and she at least has a sense of style"

"So, ya'all, I'm kicking the witch out of the big house and replacing her with Monica. I'll be happy and Chelsea will have someone close to her age to hang around with"

(End of fantasy)
