How Hillary Became ‘Crooked’: Clinton Learned How to Manipulate Law Defending a Child Rapist

“Crooked Hillary” was crooked long before she ran for president. Before she was a crooked presidential candidate, she was a crooked lawyer. Now, new information regarding Clinton’s involvement with a 1975 child rape case is proving just how devious she can be.

The FBI’s new investigation (or reopened investigation, depending on which version of the Washington Post you happened to see first) turns the floodlights on Hillary Clinton’s decisions to use a private email server for government business and to delete tens of thousands of emails while under congressional subpoena.

The Kathy Shelton rape case may not appear to have much in common with Hillary’s email woes, but new details suggest the methods Hillary Rodham used to maneuver around procedural norms in that criminal case bear striking similarities to her actions in her email scandal.

In May 1975, at the very start of her legal career, Hillary volunteered to defend child rapist Thomas Alfred Taylor, but only after guaranteeing herself a “win” by working closely on the case with the judge and his son, who happened to be early public supporters and donors for Bill Clinton’s congressional bid.

The Only Sexual Assault Case the Media Doesn’t Care About

New facts cast doubt on Hillary Clinton’s statements about how and why she defended Taylor and handled physical evidence that has disappeared in that case. Hillary’s own descriptions of this case, presented in her autobiography “Living History” and in an audiotaped interview with journalist Roy Reed in the 1980s, have gone largely unchallenged until now.

Self-described “hack” for the Clinton campaign Glenn Thrush did a hatchet job on the Shelton rape case writing for Newsday in 2008, and the press since then has largely done a poor job exposing the injustice Hillary Clinton wrought for the child rape victim, but a very good job excusing Hillary’s hard work getting this child rapist off with time served.

Alana Goodman with the Daily Mail wrote the first decent piece of journalism delving into the Shelton case in August 2016, but to date the media has largely ignored the actual facts and evidence surrounding Hillary Clinton’s involvement, preferring instead to take Hillary’s own descriptions at face value.

After Donald Trump recently invited Shelton to attend the second presidential debate as his guest, Shelton publicly described what it was like being 12 years old and raped and beaten by Taylor so viciously that she spent five days in a coma and was told by doctors she would never have children—and then hearing Hillary Clinton on tape laughing about putting Taylor back on the streets in a plea bargain for which he served only a couple of months in jail when Hillary knew he was guilty of this horrific crime. Could Thomas Alfred Taylor be Hillary Clinton’s Willie Horton?

Hillary Clinton hasn’t stopped her crooked ways for 40 years. If she were to become president, there is no doubt she’ll continue for the next four — or eight.
