Lawyer Hillary Grilled 12-Year Old Over 'Rape'; Attacked Child's Credibility

[WiseOne]

But there is a little-known episode Clinton doesn't mention in her standard campaign speech in which those two principles collided. In 1975, a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape in Arkansas - using her child development background to help the defendant.

The case 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, an attitude captured in one of her favorite aphorisms: "Bloom where you're planted."

It also came at a crucial moment in her personal life, less than a year after she followed boyfriendBill Clinton down to Arkansas - a time when she struggled to gain a foothold in a new state while maintaining her own professional identity.

WiseOne's Comments, I always knew Hillary wasn't for the little guy, but this I didn't even know until now! I mean to tell you all, Hillary CANNOT be President of the US.

I don't fault her for taking the case nor for providing the best defense she could for her client. That was her job. What's bothersome is that she lied about things the girl supposedly said to turn the tide in her favor.

After winning an election (I forget which one) in which Bill Clinton lied about his opponent, he stated afterwards, "Whatever it takes." I believe this is what Geffen was talking about when he said lying comes too easy to them. (the Clintons)

It's hard to take anything either one of them says at face value.

Could this be Hillary's Willie Horton?
