    Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States (1993–2001), has been publicly accused of sexual misconduct by four women: Juanita Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her in 1978; Kathleen Willey accused Clinton of groping her without consent in 1993; Leslie Millwee[1] accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her in 1980; and Paula Jones accused Clinton of exposing himself to her in 1991 as well as sexually harassing her. The Jones allegations became public in 1994, during Clinton’s first term as president, while Willey’s and Broaddrick’s accusations became public in 1999, toward the end of Clinton’s second term. Millwee did not make her accusations until 2016.

    Clinton has adamantly denied all four accusations. Through his representatives, Clinton has responded to the allegations by attempting to discredit the credibility of the accusers, noting that (in the case of Broaddrick and Willey) they previously testified under oath that Clinton never made unwanted advances. Several witnesses close to Willey and Jones have stated that the two women described their encounter with Clinton as consensual.[2][3][4]

    Of all the allegations made against him, Clinton has only admitted extramarital relationships with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers, both of which have generally been accepted as consensual. However, some commentators have nonetheless characterized Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky, who was at the time a White House intern, as sexual misconduct because of the vast power imbalance between a president and an intern; Lewinsky was 22 at the time and described the relationship as completely consensual.[5] In 2018, Lewinsky herself began to question her long-standing view that her relationship with Clinton had been consensual, characterizing the relationship as a “gross abuse of power” wherein the power differential between the two was so great that “consent might well be rendered moot.”[6]

    Charges of sexual misconduct on Bill Clinton’s part resurfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign of his wife, Hillary Clinton. When a lewd recording of Hillary’s opponent Donald Trump discussing the ability to grope women when in power was released during the campaign, Bill Clinton’s accusers, Broaddrick, Willey, and Jones, reemerged as critics of Hillary Clinton, accusing her of enabling her husband’s alleged sexual assaults on them. They appeared as guests at the second 2016 presidential debate and referenced Bill Clinton in pre-debate statements.

    During the 1990s, most Democrats suspended judgment on the three accusations or stated that they believed Clinton’s denials. In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations in 2017 and the many other such cases that emerged in the aftermath, the allegations against Clinton have been revisited and lent more credibility.[7][8][9]

    America’s ongoing national reckoning with sexual assault and sexual harassment by powerful men now has liberals and Democrats reconsidering the legacy of one of party’s most important figures of the past quarter-century: President Bill Clinton.

    Clinton has faced multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment, most famously his affair with Monica Lewinsky — which, while consensual in some sense, was nonetheless textbook sexual harassment of a subordinate of a kind that would (or perhaps more accurately, should) get many CEOs fired from their companies.

    But it’s not just Lewinsky. Jones, a former Arkansas state employee, sued Clinton during his presidency for allegedly exposing himself to her when he was governor in 1991. Kathleen Willey claims that Clinton fondled her breast and forced her hand on his crotch in the Oval Office in 1993, when she was a White House volunteer.

    Most seriously of all, Juanita Broaddrick claims that Clinton raped her during his 1978 campaign for Arkansas governor.

    The issue of Clinton’s sexual misconduct came up repeatedly during Hillary Clinton’s presidential run. But Bill himself was not on the ballot, and many were understandably hesitant to make the candidate answer for her husband’s offenses.

    A final thought from me as I slide under the duvet.

    When all is said and done, a reporter really is only worth the credibility they have. To be professional, honest, objective and impartial.

    Then if, as can happen, they are deceived cleverly enough to in turn mislead, if they set things right they may… may survive to report some more.

    But to set out with an agenda, to set out yourself to decieve; that surely, at the very least, should be the end of any career in journalism.

    Unless, of course, you are employed by one of all too many once respected MSM brands these days.

    BBC North America correspondent:
    “The president has come to the defence of young (presumably white, presumably privileged) men, innocent or guilty, who suddenly find their reputations and livelihood threatened a year after the #MeToo whirlwind first swept on to the scene.

    In a nation where young black men are incarcerated at a rate five times those of their white counterparts, the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” in criminal proceedings may ring hollow. For the rest of the nation, however – particularly the wealthy and well-connected – it has been central to the American concept of justice and due process. ”

    Have a look at some of the “the innocent until proved guilty young black men” in Luton for example, only one was arrested from this, until they joined, this was a community carnival, and they added their cultural enrichment in their own particular way, its a pity our BBC correspondent does not live in the real world:

      Innocent til proven guilty now gets relegated to some sort of quaint socio-economic artifact. The rest of the article makes it clear Zurcher’s backing trial by “mass media” and “the court of public opinion.”

      And it’s that type of “may ring hollow” snide and loaded remark sneakily inserted into their reports that reveals, for anybody with eyes to see, the left-wing SJW Marxist bias of the BBC. They should know that blacks commit far more crimes than whites – they commit homicide at seven times the rate of whites. If blacks are incarcerated at only five times the rate of whites it might even suggest that the criminal justice system is biased against whites. But I doubt if that idea could ever be thought in the BBC universe.

    “President Trump has MOCKED the woman in the Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations”

    The word ‘mocked’ is a loaded and biased editorial choice for BBC tv news this morning. They should simply have scripted their news headline to say Trump had referred to the allegations at his rally and then run the clip for us to make our own judgement of his words.

    The BBC can’t help itself habitually telling us what to think. And on the subject of Trump it is always anti.

    As time goes on they have become more brazen. Their usual framing used to be ‘Trump has been accused of mocking…’ thereby snidely outsourcing their own Leftist slant to the familiar get out of jail free formulation: ‘some people say’. Now the BBC shed that cloak of supposed balance and go straight for the jugular.

    I have always maintained that BBC coverage of US politics is a cipher for their anti-conservative take on UK politics where their bias has to be somewhat more covert.

      Trump: ‘Scary’ times for young men

      Donald Trump has said he believes the Senate will approve his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, despite allegations of sexual misconduct against him dating back to the 1980s. The US president also said it was a “scary” and “difficult” time for young men.

      A vote to confirm Mr Kavanaugh has been delayed as the FBI investigates the claims, which he denies. The FBI has not yet interviewed his main accuser, Professor Christine Blasey Ford, her lawyers have said.

      Meanwhile, the New York State Tax Department has confirmed it is investigating claims that Mr Trump helped his parents dodge millions of dollars in taxes during the 1990s. The White House called the New York Times story that prompted this a “misleading attack”.

      ****
      Classic bbc, full of quotes they like and omissions that don’t suit, in particular the explanation President Trump gave for his statement, which they did not have space for. Apparently.

      Short memories at the BBC :
      Mere hours before one of the final presidential debates, Trump held a press conference with Broaddrick, Willey, Jones and a fourth woman, Kathy Shelton—whose alleged rapist had been defended by a young Hillary Clinton—in attempts to remind voters of Hillary Clinton’s alleged shady past of helping her husband cover up his alleged sexual misconduct.

      “Actions speak louder than words,” Broaddrick said at the time, referring to Trump’s Access Hollywood comments, which involved Trump bragging about grabbing women “by the pussy” without their consent.

      “Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me, and Hillary Clinton threatened me,” Broaddrick added. “I don’t think there’s any comparison.”

      • Annunaki says:

        Broaddrick first spoke out about Hillary Clinton’s attempts to silence her in 1999, when she told the Drudge Report that Hillary Clinton approached her at a political rally to thank her for keeping quiet about the alleged assault.

        “She 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 recalled. “I started to turn away and she held onto my hand and reiterated her phrase—looking less friendly and repeated her statement—’everything you do for Bill.'”

        Broaddrick said Hillary Clinton wouldn’t let her “get away until she made her point.”

        “She talked low, the smile faded on the second thank you,” Broaddrick continued. “I just released her hand from mine and left the gathering.”

        Willey has leveled similar accusations against Hillary Clinton, telling the Washington Examiner in October 2016 that the conversation about Bill Clinton’s alleged assaults should include discussion of the Democratic nominee’s complicity.

        “Hillary Clinton’s been calling me a bimbo for 19 years, as well as Paula and Juanita and Gennifer [Flowers],” Willey told the outlet

        Let’s unpack this for a minute.

        She sat up there during the trysts that her husband was having, actual rape allegations, some of them have been proven, and she defended the actions of her husband and she trashed the reputations of those victims. So for her to sit up here today and say victims need to be believed because they have to have the courage to come forward. And when the victims of her husband came forward she trashed them, she called them floosies, she blamed it on a right-wing conspiracy.

      I don’t see it as Trump mocking the woman. I see it as mocking the lack of evidence which the Democrats have seen fit to ignore for political gain. Instead of telling “the woman” that she hasn’t provided sufficient evidence to make a case, they have encouraged her into the limelight and to hang with the personal cost either to her or the man she accuses, providing it buys them time.

      But Nick Ferrari over at LBC is making the exact same assertion, that he was mocking Ms Ford. The media is signing its own death warrant and is terminally sick. Witness Sky being caught bang to rights misrepresenting Tommy Robinson and the silence from the media about that.

    YOUR COMPLAINT:

    Complaint Summary: Investigate a company hiding facts from its payers

    Full Complaint: Dear £3.5 billion BBC paid under threat of prosecution,

    I requested information on how much a person called MR.B was paid to appear on shows for a company XYZ, the company XYZ then sent it onto a freedom of information request (RFI20181703) who then replied that they could not respond to the request because it was ‘excluded from the Act because it is held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’’

    This is odd because on the website for XYZ they have this … “The XYZ wants to ensure that it is at the forefront of transparency. We are required by our Charter to observe high standards of openness and to seek to maximise transparency and accountability. We already undertake a lot in this area, including publishing information about senior staff salaries, expenses and corporate information about the running of the XYZ.”

    I think the BBC, with its £3.5billion setup, should investigate this company without prejudice and ensure that company XYZ can tell the customers, who pay their salaries under threat of prosecution, how much they pay individuals. Would you agree?

    p.s. XYZ = BBC and Mr.B = Tony Blair. Many

    RE: BBC coverage of Trump mocking Ford’s testimony.

    It is extremely convenient to remember no key details about an offence as it means nobody can contradict you. Luckily our legal system is based on a hefty burden of proof: beyond reasonable doubt is quite a high threshold. In this case it would be unreasonable not to doubt pretty much everything. A single doubt is sufficient to sway a jury and here there is barely a single thing you can be sure about – apart from, somewhat conveniently, who the perpetrator was.

    I am not as old as Ford but I remember exactly where I was for key events and who was there: losing virginity; my girl kissing my mate . . . How can you totally forget everything? And surely with such an emotionally salient moment the details would be seared in your memory forever, just like Lady Macbeth haunted by what had happened and reliving it in her dreams?

    Why has everything about Ford been wiped/memory holed from the Internet? That is extremely suspicious. The whole sorry saga stinks and let’s hope it has turned more to our cause.

    They are like a jilted lover with Trump. They did everything to help Hillary win but they lost. Imagine the jolly to her inauguration! A thousand or so BBC staff hyping the victory of this corrupt snake as the most empowering feminist triumph in history.

    Plus now it would be smooth sailing for them: Clinton would spout their PC crap and they would be snug and smug in cocktail parties together agreeing what bullsh*t ‘news’ story they would run together. Instead they are at war with an honest man who refuses to play their lying game, forces them to discuss topics they like to memory hole and time and time again calls them out for being the lying parasites they clearly are. O how glorious it has been!

    So Flog It has been flogged to death and finally hit the buffers after 17 years, to be replaced by six new commissions, one being the Housing Crisis in Britain Today. Deep joy.

    In the BBC’s own words……
    Dan McGolpin, controller of BBC programming and daytime described the new commissions as a “new generation of daytime television programmes” for the channel.

    “They are modern, accessible and relevant to viewers all around the UK.”

    Do we take it that the new generation means programmes are aimed at the young who are hanging around the house all day ? And I suppose the ‘new commission’ is the perfect opportunity to throw more diversity at us, as the current daytime progs are hideously white. Funny that the majority of daytime viewers are the mainly retired and also hideously white.

      Brissles,
      The white Brits will get (not legally sanctioned but, hey, that doesn’t matter to isalm) ‘assisted euthanasia’ in hospitals when islam takes over. They’re no doubt currently studying all the NHS ‘scandals’ to see how far they will go without it being obvious.

      I actually quite like Flog it.Paul Martin’s educational bit in the middle is actually quite interesting (and intellectual!)…but probably too challenging for modern day watchers.I imagine the new ‘programmes’ will nicely fill the ‘Equality Diversity and Inclusive’ agenda that the BBC are determined to follow through at all cost……lots of ‘ethnic’ Gay handicapped and Transvestites and ‘minototies’ all building ,buying, selling ,decorating, cooking….oh gosh I cant wait.

        Lucky, I’m not holding my breath. It will be dire. Each programme will have a black and white presenter and the content will only rival that of CBBC. I can only imagine that the Commissioning Editors of two decades ago who installed Flog It have now retired, to be replaced by a new Yoof generation who were probably in primary school when it began.

      Bathhouse Barry sent back Mr Churchill’s bust almost as soon as he entered the White House. It’s what muslims and their commie lickspittles do – trash everything that is good and pursue the policies of those who are bad.

      President Trump restored Mr Churchill’s bust to the Oval Office almost as soon as he entered the White House. That’s what real heterosexual, red-blooded American men do.

      The Western world is very quickly going to have to decide if it wants a society based on feelings, emotions and communist rhetoric our a society based on justice, freedom, the rule of law and evidence. The two are incompatible and diametrically opposites.

            As I so rarely listen to R5 during the night, and never watch any news dribbling from the bbbc these days (over a year now), I wonder how many of the ‘journos’ have left to go to commecial stations now? They must all be panicking just a little – the skivers left behind that is…

            Wouldn’t it be fun if the bbbc farmed out Slopel and Katters to a decent US news organisation, where they could a) learn some manners and b) learn to be a better journo.

            The best way to get proper news these days is to check the dead tree press headlines, then seek out the real story, especially US news where President Trump regularly tells the lefties to piss off!

            Of course, the other excellent way is to log on here, and read some classic stuff, clearly hated by liberals, lefties, pseudo-lefties, sjws, sjw’s children, snowflakes, their parents, (or at least the one they live with and pays for their bad habits), communists, crypto-communists, antifa idiots, pacifist twonks, pseudo twonks, anti-Brexiteers, pro-remoaners, (they smell different you know), and everyone who doesn’t try to work for a living, and refuses to become British.

            (With apologies to Geoffrey Palmer in Reggie Perrin)!

            The bbbc methods of ‘reporting’ are just not fit for purpose – what a pathetic bunch of no-hopers.

    Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.

    In 2015 the Houses of Parliament, along with the people of the UK, will be commemorating 800 years since the sealing of Magna Carta (1215).
