Attorneys for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign lawyer filed a motion Thursday to dismiss special counsel John Durham’s case against him, calling the matter “extraordinary prosecutorial overreach.”
#1 Fox’s Judge Andrew Napolitano has said time and time again that there is ‘overwhelming’ evidence to both indict and convict Clinton. “The evidence is overwhelming to conclude, overwhelming to anyone that observed what she did,” he said.
Not only was Hillary called to testify, but as part of the grand jury investigation, she became the subject of accusations of suspicious activity concerning missing subpoenaed records from the Rose Law Firm where she had worked in the mid-1980s.
Hillary Clinton with Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, in Little Rock, Ark., in September 1991. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.— One of Hillary Clinton’s first assignments as a corporate lawyer landed her far from her roots. She helped overturn a ballot measure that increased electric rates for businesses and lowered them for the poor.
Rose Law Firm entered the national news during the 1990s as part of the Whitewater controversy, as investigators sought to determine how much work Clinton had done for the firm while representing Jim McDougal in cases involving the latter's Madison Guaranty and Castle Grande enterprises.
In 1997 and 1999, Clinton played a leading role in advocating the creation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and the Foster Care Independence Act. Clinton advocated for gender equality at the 1995 UN conference on women.

Clinton tried to discredit the girl by painting her as dishonest and prone to false accusations. At one point, Clinton signed an affidavit that claimed the girl often fantasized and sought out older men.
Throughout the interview, Clinton laughed after describing the polygraph results, the prosecution's lost evidence, and other aspects of the case. The repeated laughter is a particular point of contention for critics, because they say it suggests an insensitivity toward a truly terrible case.
According to Clinton's retelling in the 1980s to Arkansas reporter Roy Reed, the prosecution sent Taylor's pants to a lab to have them checked for blood and any other bodily fluids. But the lab cut out the piece of the pants that they intended to inspect, and eventually threw that piece away.
Clinton reportedly strove, according to a 2008 story from Newsday, to make a big impression with the Taylor case, perhaps as a result of her friends' warnings that she had thrown away a big-city career by moving to Arkansas to help launch her husband's congressional campaign.
After some drinking and bowling, the group ended up at a weedy ravine. There, Taylor allegedly raped the girl. After Clinton was assigned to the case in 1975, she took on a defense that, in the Newday article, legal experts characterized as quite aggressive.
Hillary Clinton's legal career is coming back to haunt her. Before the 2016 presidential race even begins, a criminal defense case from Hillary Clinton's past as a lawyer is becoming a political liability. In the case, Clinton defended an accused child rapist. Clinton was appointed to the case, and it was her job at the time to provide legal ...
Earlier this summer, the Washington Free Beacon uncovered and published an audio clip of an interview between Clinton and Arkansas reporter Roy Reed from the 1980s. In the clip, Clinton suggested she knew Taylor was guilty and only got Taylor off on a legal technicality that involved missing evidence.

Hillary Clinton in 1992. (Photo: Scott A. Miller/ZUMA Press/Newscom) Hillary Clinton broke her silence this week to address the scandal involving emails during her time at the State Department. Although it was refreshing to hear the former secretary of state finally speak, it was shocking to see how clumsily she handled the defense of her actions.
Federal prosecutors subpoenaed documents surrounding the real estate transaction, but the papers went missing for two years —until January 1996—when Hillary’s aide reported that they had magically appeared in the book room on the third floor of the White House in the Clintons’ personal residence.
Hillary Clinton asked to be removed from a 1975 rape case in which her client was accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl, the onetime Arkansas lawyer said recently, addressing for the first time fresh retrospective reproach for her defense of a man she's suggested was guilty.
Todd Akin , whose 2012 Senate campaign was largely annihilated by his theory that women who are victims of "legitimate rape" shouldn't be exempted from anti-abortion laws because they're unlikely to become pregnant, last month lambasted as "incredibly hypocritical" Clinton's defense of a child rapist "she knew to be guilty.".
