case. I found her to be credible and her story had no holes and her story was supported by friends and co workers. For her to be lying it would have to mean that her co-worker and room mate at the hotel was also lying that Juanita was upset and crying with torn pantyhose and a bloody lip and who said that Juanita told her Bill Clinton just raped her. Also, 3-4 of her friends who saw her swollen lip and who Juanita told contemporaneously that Clinton raped her.

The only hole in her story is that she signed an affidavit denying it. But so did Monica Lewinsky and several other Clinton women. It was a pattern.

Have you considered that you may be looking at this case through the lens of a Clinton supporter? I was a Clinton supporter too and I think what happened to my friend took away the politically biased lens I may have had and actually made me more objective when examining the Broderick case.
