And
if Biden is really upset about it, it could be a great issue to take against
Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical 2016 Democratic primary. In his April 29
speech, Biden was specifically talking about college age adults. So actions by
Ms. Clinton as a young attorney were even worse – accusing a 12-year-old of bringing
it upon herself.
From
ABC News:
In 2008, during the height of her
presidential primary campaign, Newsday
published an in-depth story about Clinton's involvement with the trial.
Newsday argued that Clinton's account in "Living History" left out
"a significant aspect of her defense strategy - attempting to impugn the
credibility of the victim." She reportedly sent an affidavit during the
trial requesting the girl undergo a psychiatric examination at the university's
clinic, and without offering any source, alleged that the victim had often
sought older men. The case, Newsday claimed, "offers a glimpse into the
way Clinton deals with crisis. Her approach, then and now, was to immerse
herself in even unpleasant tasks with a will to win."
The
victim, now 52, first believed Clinton was just doing her job as an attorney,
but became enraged upon hearing that Clinton openly laughed about how clever
she was as a lawyer in getting a light sentence for someone she knew was
guilty.
"Hillary Clinton took me
through hell," the victim told
the Daily Beast in an emotional interview published today. The woman said
that if she saw Clinton today she would say, "I realize the truth now, the
heart of what you've done to me. And you are supposed to be for women? You call
that [being] for women, what you done to me? And I heard you on tape
laughing."
Don’t expect a court case from the
1970s to define a presidential contest. But, it should give Hillary – and her
supporters – pause before presume she represents all women.
