My uncle told me something that disturbed me tonight. In 1975, Hillary Clinton defended a man in Arkansas by the name of Thomas Alfred Taylor, who was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. The victim, now an adult who recently spoke to the media, says she was beaten and was in a coma after the assault.
Court documents reveal that Hillary used the now infamous and all-too-common defense of smearing the victim in order to help the rapist go free. Hillary, then 27-years-old, wrote in an affidavit that the victim was "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing" and that the victim had made similar false allegations in her past. The victim was also cited as being unusually stubborn and bad tempered.
So, a supposed feminist icon attacks a 12-year-old girl? The victim denies these statements.
The fact that Clinton knew her client was lying and had indeed raped the girl is proven by statements Clinton made on tape. The Washington Free Beacon unearthed an audio recording of an interview with Clinton from the 1980s and made the interview public this week. On it, Clinton laughs as she says, “He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.”
On the tapes, Clinton says she took the case as a favor to a prosecutor she knew, who called her saying that Taylor wanted a woman lawyer.
There is more to the story. The link at the bottom of the article has a more in-depth review of the case and a link to the audio recordings. I noticed when I tried to find information on this case that I found many more positive stories of Clinton and that this story wasn't being picked up. I believe the machine definitely wants Clinton to be nominated, but I would never vote for her. She didn't have to take the case and help a rapist get off with a lesser charge. After she went to great lengths to get a special "expert" involved in the case, a plea deal was made.
"Instead of the original charge of first-degree rape, the prosecutors let Taylor plead to a lesser charge: unlawful fondling of a child. According to the Free Beacon, Taylor was sentenced to one year behind bars, with two months reduced for time served."
Please don't vote for Hillary.
