Hillary says her husband Bill Clinton should 'absolutely not' have resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and did not abuse his power by having sexual relations with her.

Natuonal Review
OCTOBER 15, 2018 By Britt McHenry


Hillary Clinton failed to make history in the way she desired, so the former Democratic nominee for president is trying to re-write it.

Clinton said Sunday her husband Bill Clinton should “absolutely not” have resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The former first lady and secretary of state said in a CBS interview she didn’t think her husband’s affair with 22-year-old Lewinsky when she was a White House intern was an abuse of power, because Lewinsky was an adult at the time.

Clinton tersely replied, “absolutely not,” when asked whether Clinton should have resigned following the scandal. When pressed further, she diverted the subject to President Donald Trump’s widely reported allegations of infidelity and sexual misconduct. The problem with Clinton’s what about-ism tactic is that while inappropriate if true, the accusations against Trump occurred before his presidency. Clinton’s accused behavior happened prior to and during his time in office.

Before Lewinsky, Bill Clinton refused to settle a lawsuit with Paula Jones. A former Arkansas state employee, Jones alleged Clinton summoned her to a hotel room and repeatedly made sexual advances towards her, which she rebuffed. Jones also asserted that Clinton and his friends in Arkansas government worked to ruin her reputation and career. The Jones v. Clinton lawsuit came forward during Clinton’s presidency, but he argued that a president should be immune from civil lawsuits. Clinton even referenced John F. Kennedy’s legal troubles through inauguration. However, Kennedy addressed those issues privately and never sought federal protection.

On Nov. 13, 1998, Clinton finally settled with Jones for $830,000 — the entire sum of her claim without an apology — in exchange for her dropping the appeal. Clinton’s problems didn’t stop at Jones. In fact additional ethical failings came to light because of it.

Ken Starr, the former special prosecutor tasked with investigating a multitude of Clinton corruption issues including the failed Whitewater real estate dealings, Vince Foster’s death, Travelgate and the Lewinsky scandal, knows better than most about what he calls the Clinton’s contempt of law. In his recently published memoir of the Clinton investigation aptly titled “Contempt,” Starr detailed how Lewinsky entered the national discourse solely because a former White House employee wore a wire to record a conversation her, in part to help the Jones case. In a lunch meeting, Lewinsky admitted to being coerced into signing an affidavit that said she never received gifts or had sexual relations with the president.

Lewinsky eventually testified that Clinton approached her three times about testifying — even suggested she talk to his secretary Betty Currie. During the investigation, Clinton once again sought executive privilege to block prosecutors from questioning his senior aides. However, a U.S. district judge concluded the need to collect all evidence in obstruction of justice superseded the White House’s interest in confidentiality. It was the first time since Watergate proceedings in 1974 that a president tried to claim executive privilege and failed.

Not only did Bill Clinton’s camp seek to block members of his staff from investigation and encourage women to perjure themselves according to Lewinsky’s testimony, he also perjured himself. He lied under oath when he claimed he never had sexual relations with Lewinsky. Tell us again, Hillary, how that’s not an abuse of power.

Fellatio in the Oval Office constitutes as sexual relations. Hidden make-outs and conversations about sexual plans at a place of work would get a CEO fired. Furthermore, it’s flat out tone-deaf for Hillary to normalize that workplace behavior given the current #MeToo climate. Even if you try to rationalize Hillary’s view of two consenting adults, Bill lying about it while under oath cements those actions as a blatant abuse of power.

The Clintons were never the victims of a crazy right wing conspiracy in the ‘90s, like their ardent supporters claimed. He was impeached in the House and tried in the Senate for good reason. As she did with the unlawful use of a private server to send confidential State Department emails, along with her abject failure of handling the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead, Clinton has a history of twisting the truth and ethics to her will.

Whether it’s demeaning the 63 million people who voted for President Trump as “Deplorables,” or spinning the history of her husband’s career, there is and always has been a complete disconnect with the Clintons and reality. Thanks for proving it again.

22 days until the midterm elections and most of the democrat leaders are going bat shit crazy.Hillary says it is ok for the president to screw an intern and Elizabeth Warren has proof she is .09% Indian.Warren's new nickname should be Cherokinda

The mob is alive and well and Republicans are energized.

I shall retire tonight very happy.

Give up power that rightfully ought be mine? That's crazy talk.

She is toxic waste but too arrogant to know it.

Anyone who works for a government agency and has had sexual harassment training knows she is full of shit and bad manners. For those who haven’t had the training, well...as long as you can see her lips moving you know to reach for your boots and shovel.

I hope she is on television every day until the elections. Several times a day. With her cackling laugh. Defending her rapist husband. More Hillary! That is my wish. Put her on tv five times a day and the Democrats won't get a single vote. Not even Bill's.

As well as most of us in the non government world. I had yearly online reviews of the company sexual harassment policy and the year before everybody received workshop training with the corporate law firm.

She skipped that class along with the one on handling classified material

its great to watch the mob eat their own. my favorite from the interviewer:
"A president of the United States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern; the power imbalance is too great."

this is the kind of garbage we have today as a reasoned question to anyone. consent is IMPOSSIBLE when you consider the inter-sectional Marxist evolving table of the power hierarchy.

ill never defend a clinton, so ill just attack the question. stupid idiotic, insulting, moronic question. GDC's in their self destructive GDC dance.

Us worker bees are subjected to this shit at least once per year (end of Fiscal Year? Time to submit all of my annual certs, oh, and take all the recurring training that tells me not to compliment my co-worker's figure or leave passwords on Post-Its on the monotor.)

This started in earnest during the WJC administration. Yes, we saw humor in it then, too.

If I recall correctly, a Marine One pilot was let go because of an affair with a subordinate at the same time Billy was getting blow-jobs from Monica

If anyone needs a good chuckle today, this clown over at The Week actually thinks she could take on Trump in 2020 and win:




How Hillary Clinton could win in 2020

"Hillary Clinton Once Again Demonstrates She Is Disconnected From Reality"
The clinical term for this is psychosis.

I think most democrats are psychotic. (I am not a doctor.)

At the time I said simply:

CEO of major company gets caught in his office with an intern under similar circumstances. What would happen?

Affairs within the chain of command are pretty much banned everywhere in business. The exception is that since a company cannot regulate your life, if a relationship develops then it must be disclosed to HR and the chain of command relationship severed. But it's kind of hard to avoid chain of command issues when you are the President of the United States.

If Clinton has just done like Kennedy and had affairs with famous actresses, then I think he would have fared better.

Hill and Bill are going to start a speaking tour,I suppose it's another idea of theirs to suck some more money from the idiots who still believe in her. It'll be fun watching it crash after the first two or three at most.

Yeh, back in JFK's day a lot of guys would liked to bang Marilyn.

Apparently a lot of guys did!
