Bill Clinton's history of assault has been documented and he has even settled some of them monetarily.
Trump's are allegations. He's a billionaire that surely would have been sued within the past 3 decades instead of 3 weeks before an election.
Even Bill Cosby had accusers that sought to have him charged a decade or so ago and just didn't suddenly appear with their claims.
As a lawyer this must really be concerning. Why do we instantly give credence to these women who happen to come forward at such a convenient time?
They know the court of public opinion will support them. They know all the talk/news shows will pay big $ to get them on their shows. I'm willing to bet that most, if not all of them will NOT file charge with the police. Yes, there is a statute of limitations for sexual assault, but for over half of the US states there is
NO limit. (
BC, correct me if I'm wrong)
But will they file with the police? No, they'll be happy with the adulation & $ they'll have swindled, along with some nice gifts from the clintons; no need to risk all that. It won't matter that their case was never proved. It's like that Gomeshi trial in Canada this year; a bunch of women piled on accusing this guy of SA, but most didn't get to trial, and of the 3 that did, their credibility was torn to shreds.
I hope that if trump doesn't win, he goes after each one of them with a defamation suit. In fact, he'll need to in order to clear his name.
