34. The amazing thing to me is that people are acting like there weren't consequences.

Oct 2018

Clinton was impeached, there was a 70 million dollar investigation. You have people acting like there wasn't a "reckoning" , there was.. and the abuse Monica suffered happened once the affair became public. There are intriguing arguments in support of the idea he should have resigned ( politically some have merit) but at this point in time, what else do people what? What new questions are to be asked?

Books have been written, by both Clintons about this episode. Monica has written books.

The only purpose for all this is to find ways to continue an almost ritualistic humiliation of Hillary Clinton, requiring she talk about a painful episode in both her life and Chelsea's. There is no "good answer" that will satisfy the unquenchable thirst for this kind of spectacle. ....

Like how many times are they gonna ask the same question in a million different ways?

I think HRC should just do the "no comment" response to the affair or how it was handled aikoaiko Oct 2018 #23

the question should not be asked of her in the first place. JHan Oct 2018 #25

Given MeToo and Gillibrand statements I think the questions are fair if HRC is doing interviews aikoaiko Oct 2018 #30

MeToo is about sexual assault and non-consent... JHan Oct 2018 #31
