That is a very charitable view of his point and basically disregards the entire section of moral outrage about her even taking the case. But that argument is flawed because he is saying that it is inappropriate for a defense attorney laugh about any aspect of a tragic case. Ever. Even in private. That they can never find humor in any aspect of a case with a peer and display stoic respect every part of their their private life. It is a completely unreasonable standard and that is why he got called out on it. | ||

As far as you're concerned, this man raped this girl. The prosecution are incompetent and you are not. Do you take the case? Personally, I wouldn't, but I can understand the argument for doing so and I don't know the extent to which she protested the situation, etc. Fast forward a while. You're now reminiscing about the time a man you were convinced raped a 12 year old girl got off with 2 months (essentially nothing considering the crime). What, I wonder, is going through your head? Is it amusing to you, or does it make you angry/depressed? I'm trying to understand why I need to try to explain this. There's a huge child abuse inquiry going on in the UK right now and just the thought of somebody involved in the case joking about any aspect of it makes me feel ill. It would be career/social suicide. But not for Hillary. Why? Because she's up against Trump. You obviously never had to deal with horrible things before in a professional sense and know how people deal with having to handle those things. She did even try to get off the case but was denied I don't know what you want...Her to purposefully throw the case? So then the guy could get off scott free because of bad representation? Go listen to that conversation and the context of it. She wasn't gleefully having a laugh about her accomplishment with her bros after work. | ||

Clinton Foundation officials quietly refiled three years of tax-related forms this week after the New York attorney general acknowledged the charity had failed to disclose all of its donors in accordance with state law. Two entities operating within the Clintons' sprawling philanthropic network — the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Clinton Global Initiative — submitted supplementary financial disclosures for different years between 2012 and 2014 while denying Tuesday that the attorney general's office had asked them to do so. "The Clinton Foundation is properly registered to solicit funds under Article 7A, which requires organizations to register before they solicit funds in New York," said Ricardo Castro, general counsel for the Clinton Foundation. Donald Trump's eponymous foundation was issued a cease-and-desist letter Monday from the New York attorney general's office over the charity's failure to register under that same statute.

As long as they were not using funds to buy 10 foot paintings of Bill, I think they will be in the clear with some missing paperwork. | ||
