Imagine if this was Bill Clinton
Imagine what the outcry would have been if it was discovered in the 1990s that Bill Clinton didn’t just have affairs, but that he:
- Arranged for a friendly newspaper to buy up all the stories of affairs, so they could bury them, as confirmed by the one
- Had the newspaper pay off some of the women, as illegal undisclosed campaign contributions
- Had the newspaper pay off a doorman who said that Clinton had a baby with a woman he wasn’t marred to
- Also arranged for the newspaper to invent fake stories about his contenders for the nomination, and then repeated the fake stories after they were published.
- Had his lawyer pay off the women he had affairs with, and claimed the payoffs were legal expenses
- had a newspaper editor who said ““At least if he wins, I’ll be pardoned for electoral fraud,””
I suspect those who say it is no big thing for one former President, wouldn’t say the same if it was Clinton.
