It also occurred to me the following conversation might have taken place:

Hillary: "Well, what would you like to see happen here?"

Accuser: "I would like to see the accused judged and punished, and I would like to be reassigned to such and such a job and/or location. That would make me happy."

Hillary: "Requests granted. Anything else?"

It's also possible that Hillary regarded the accused as too valuable in his position to be reassigned permanently. But we don't know that, just as we don't know if the accuser requested the transfer.

And all of this is a distraction from what everyone here should want: to defeat the GOP and retake Congress in 2018, and retake the White House in 2020. Dwelling on this 10 year old matter doesn't help anyone but the GOP and Trump.
