I notice they make no reference to what the women who were attacked said about Hillary's actions
And once again for the record, I believe Broaddrick was assaulted by Bill. But I think it's reprehensible for any of these women to blame Hillary for his actions.
"Far less credible, however, is Broaddrick’s claim that Hillary Clinton tried to intimidate her into silence. Even after Broaddrick went public with the rape charges, she
initially denied that anyone tried to silence her. “Did Bill Clinton or anyone near him ever threaten you, try to intimidate you, do anything to keep you silent?”
Dateline’s Lisa Myers asked her in 1999. “No,” Broaddrick replied.
But a few months later, Broaddrick gave an
interview to the Drudge Report in which she said that Hillary had indeed tried to shut her up, albeit very subtly. At the Clinton fundraiser Broaddrick attended, she told Drudge, Hillary “caught me and took my hand and said 'I am so happy to meet you. I want you to know that we appreciate everything you do for Bill.’ ”
Broaddrick interpreted this as a threat, but it sounds like the kind of thing a candidate’s wife at a political event would say to all his supporters. Even in her rendering of Hillary’s words, there is nothing outwardly sinister in them.
As I’ve
written before, everything we know about the Clintons’ marriage tells us that Bill took pains to hide his affairs from his wife. In
A Woman in Charge, Hillary’s biographer Carl Bernstein describes how Bill initially refused to settle a lawsuit with Paula Jones—setting off the events that led to impeachment—because he feared admitting a sexual encounter to Hillary. “Bill didn’t dare acknowledge to his wife that
something had transpired with Jones, so he rolled the dice and risked his presidency on the outcome—just as he would when he denied for months that he had had a sexual relationship with Lewinsky,” Bernstein writes.
