I researched the topic of Hillary's defense of the child rapist the other day. Snopes has a pretty good article about the entire affair where they report as partially true the claims made in a (meme which has a very specific version of the events.)[http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-freed-child-rapist-laughed-about-it/#]. The claim the reporter made on Anderson Cooper's show fall in the gray area of partially true statements. Relevant quote from the article:

"In the document, Clinton requested the victim undergo psychiatric evaluation. She further described the complainant as "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing," adding that the victim had "in the past made [similar] false accusations." Finally, Clinton said that "an expert in child psychology" told her that "children in early adolescence [tended] to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experience and that adolescents with disorganized families, such as the complainant, are even more prone to such behavior."

I think that the most honest takeaway message from the scandal is not that Clinton was trying to convince the judge that the victim was seeking out older men, or that she took advantage of mishandled evidence to get a plea bargain of only one year of prison and four of probation for the guy – that's what expected of her given her role as public defendant. She was also apparently unhappy to take on the case.

The takeaway is that, judging from the circumstances of the case and the audio tapes, Clinton shows a strange, narcissistic tone-deafness in the way she recounts with self-satisfaction and without much affect the story of how she helped a child rapisto get off with a slap on the wrist despite incriminating physical evidence.
