Therefore preventing embarrassment.
ETA: headline is pure clickbait

(114,376 posts)4. I don't get why when responding to this kind of thing...
why the response is not simply "Had, we known, we certainly would NOT have worked with him."
Short, concise, to the point. Not asking how they could have known. I don't know if they could have. or should have, or when they learned. The answer is, "had she known, she certainly would NOT have worked with him."

(38,085 posts)5. Interesting on Matt Lauer
In her interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Clinton also briefly touched on the allegations against former NBC anchor Matt Lauer.
Clinton said she was "gobsmacked" to learn of the allegations about Lauer after the interviewer noted it was "wild" that Lauer had interviewed Clinton about the "sanctity" of her marriage on the Today show in 1998.
Lauer was fired in 2017 after a woman who worked at NBC News claimed he raped her at a hotel while on assignment for the Sochi Olympics. Lauer, who was married at the time, claimed the encounter was entirely consensual.
"I love this word 'gobsmacked' because, yes, look, hypocrisy is everywhere," Clinton said. "Look at the current occupant of the White House for Lesson A," she added.

Hysterical - the cheatiest cheat of all asked HRC about the 'sanctity of marriage'.
Like what she says about the meetoo movement!
And I think she's right - no one knew. I mean it WAS an open secret in Hollywood. But he was such a menace and sociopath - two entirely different faces.
If you ever get a chance - read Down and Dirty Pictures buy Peter Biskind. He digs into the ugly side of Sundance and how Weinstein ruined a good thing.
