Though I recognize the need for and the right of those accused of crimes to have a proper defense, I think it has to take a certain level of soulless sociopathy to properly do that job.
How lacking does one have to be, in a conscience and a soul, to be that vigorous in defending someone whom one believes to have committed so serious a crime, and to later boast and laugh about one's success in so doing?
Even if I otherwise had the skills, aptitudes, and other necessary attributes to be a trial lawyer, I don't think I could ever be a criminal defense lawyer. I simply could not live with myself, if I made my living by helping people that I knew had committed serious crimes, avoid the just consequences thereof; or if I had had a hand in further tormenting the victims of such crimes.
But then, even without knowing of this particular case, I think most of us are well aware of Mrs. Clinton's involvement in helping to cover up the sexual predations of her husband against several women, and in attacking these women in order to try to silence them. This case doesn't really tell us anything about Mrs. CLinton that we didn't already know.
“Whatever the circumstances, once Clinton was appointed she dove in to defend her client with characteristic vigor.”
