Clinton Supporters a Question

Dick Morris, former Senior Political Advisor to President Clinton, fills in the blanks and corrects her version of her work on social issues.

From my link:
Three men took out a sixth grader for a car ride at night. One man raped the girl. That same night she went to the ER to report the rape and her injuries proved an assault took place. The man Hillary was defending said he was guilty. He was looking at 30 years in prison for rape and requested a female attorney from the state. He got a plea deal involving a lesser charge that carried a five-year sentence, of which the judge suspended four years and allowed two months credit of time already served towards the remaining year.

I don't know if times were different in 1975, if she was under pressure to do a good job, but it just doesn't look good for Hillary.

Gia I have had many discussions with you on this board and tried to be respectful of you. But seriously this is so damn immature of you I can't take you seriously. There are so many CLEAR examples here of Hillary Clinton's good work and you have to dump this doctored up garbage here? Seriously? 

How about take  the time to think through even half of what has been posted. You claim over and over that you are you are not pro-Trump, but dagnabit your constant posting of made up rhetoric sure does not show that. Even if you HATE Hillary you could at least find her work for children and the disabled positive. 

I'm not going to say anything mean to you, and you're right: no one pays taxes they don't owe.  That's never been the issue.  
There are two issues with Trump's tax problem as I see it.  One, that he has regularly disparaged people who are too poor to pay taxes as leeches on society, and that his tax plan includes even more tax breaks for the wealthy.  Two, that he apparently sees no problem with a system that allows a middle class worker to pay his "fair share" and a wealthy billionaire to pay nothing.

He would have gotten a lot further if he had released his most recent returns, which probably also show that he's paid nothing, and simply said (as Warren Buffett has) that the system that allows him to do this is unfair and needs to be changed, and that he's got his best people working on a tax plan that is fair for all Americans.  But instead, he whined that he had done nothing illegal, and made it clear that he thinks this kind of thing is good for America and should continue happening.  That doesn't sit well with this middle-class school teacher who pays her fair share every year to keep our country running.

The thing is that Trump has spent his life for the betterment of one person: Donald Trump.  His whole goal has been to enrich himself and his family, often to the detriment of those around him.  

Whether you like Hillary Clinton or not, there's no denying that she has spent much of her life in the service of others.  Has she also taken opportunities to make money?  Of course. But if you look at the record I linked above, the fact is that this woman with her resume could be enjoying a very cushy and wealthy life as a named partner at a swanky law firm somewhere. Heck, she could probably just be enjoying retirement.  Instead, she has spent her life working on women's and family issues, championing affordable health care, overcoming the embarrassments her husband heaped on her while in office to rise up and make a political career for herself, and serving as Secretary of State for her political rival instead of relaxing into a comfortable retirement and enjoying the paid speech circuit.

Is she Mother Theresa?  No.  Please don't think I'm naive enough to think she's perfect.  But when it became clear to me that Bernie was not happening, and Gary Johnson was not going to be a viable candidate, I started looking more closely into what had been said about her over the years and what was true and not true.  I read over the Benghazi timeline very carefully.  I read all of what was said about the infamous emails.  And I looked at the years and years of public service, most of which were out of the spotlight or in a subordinate position to Bill, and I realized that I could not only support this woman for president but that I could do so gladly.

I don't think anyone runs for president in our country without a few skeletons in his/her closet.  I can live with her skeletons.  I think she has worked and will continue to work for the benefit of this country and its regular people.  That's all.

It's very telling that so many people all through the decades have all had such major issues with the Clintons. There are so many Democrats that have been around forever and don't have these issues. You have to wonder if it's Right wing conspiracists, crazy, bimbos, trailer trash, someone looking to make a buck, why are the other democrats not experiencing any of this. At some point it makes you think about the things they lied about and have since been proven true and the one constant in all of these issues, Bill and Hillary.

Wrong.

from the Washington Post this morning:

But she didn't say that she took it as a favor to him.  Source after source have found that a judge appointed her to the case.  The prosecutor may have called her about it as a heads up, but it was a judge who appointed her.  She didn't volunteer. 

I didn't say anything about her walking away, I was saying it looks horrible that she worked so hard for her client to get off so easy.

I didn't say anything about her walking away, I was saying it looks horrible that she worked so hard for her client to get off so easy.

But the point still remains that she was a defense attorney. What is a defense attorney supposed to do but work for his or her client? What happens to our defense system without quality defense attorneys?

Regardless of the heinous details of the case - we have to look at the big picture here. People are furious that a defense attorney defended a guilty client. That's short sighted. The case is awful. The girl was absolutely a victim. No one denies that. But the defense attorney has a job to do. This is very important.
