In reply to the discussion: Trump Lobs 'Rape' Allegation at Bill Clinton in FOX Interview [View all]Akicita
(1,196 posts)32. juanita Brodderick did not want to come forward. She is a private person. The Clinton machine
cajoled her to sign an affidavit saying nothing happened. When Ken Starr interviewed her she realized she would be in big trouble if she didn't tell the truth so she reluctantly told what happened under oath, which was a brutal rape. NBC did a big investigation and everything in her story checked out. They told her the good news was that she was credible but the bad news was she was too credible.
NBC refused to air the story until after the impeachment was over even though the public was demanding they do so. They finally aired it once under public pressure and then buried it.
It is shameful to see a DUer carry water for a possible sex predator here and not give his accuser a fair hearing for political reasons.

In the same way I realized Bill Cosby is a predator. Not 100% sure because nothing has been proven.
