68. The headline said that HRC chose to "shield" an alleged harasser.

Actually, she followed the protocol that was in place. A law firm on retainer conducted an investigation and made recommendations based on pre-existing contractual and legal terms. The campaign followed those
recommendations. How is that "shielding" someone?

No one resigned in protest, and the victim seems to have been satisfied with the outcome. HRC never employed the harasser after 2008, and the two named senior advisors who would have preferred a firing supported Hillary in 2016 and served as campaign surrogates.

Moreover, the NYT article got two very basic, easily-checked facts wrong. Correct the Record hired the accused seven, not five years after the 2008 event. And he was hired to be an advisor, not to lead the organization. It doesn't say much for the Times that they couldn't even get that part right.

Facts be damned when Haberman & Chozick have a Hillary ax to grind. Bob Somerby has been writing about their failings for years

It's also quite transparent the "concern" is not for the victims, R B Garr Jan 2018 #27

Yes, because Hillary actually demonstrated concern, and had policies in place to deal with it ehrnst Jan 2018 #34
