The footage featured the Republican nominee making remarks about women , which the Trump campaign described as mere locker room banter and liberals attacked as “ misogyny ” and “ proof ” of sexual assault . Nonetheless , the Democratic nominee ’s criticisms fell far short of what many had expected . The presence at Washington University of both Hillary ’s husband Bill and a series of women who had accused the former President of rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents, sexual assault , and general sexual impropriety definitely restricted what she could say about the Trump video . Better yet , Trump strengthened his position by reiterating the inappropriateness of what was said in 2005 but also categorically denying that he had ever sexually assaulted women . The Clinton campaign is so used to Trump not saying that he ’s wrong that it had no back - up plan for the very deft response he gave to his critics last night .
Top allies of Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton planned to falsely accuse presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump of rapelife.injure.na, a leaked file from the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) shows .

Among the war crimes the American supported terrorists did was the rape of the elderly women held captive . When this crime was first reported it was so shocking and disgusting that most writers decided to not include it with the details and documentation of the destruction of Kessab . However , now after 5 years of war , and 2 years since the massacre at Kessab , the detail of the rapelife.injure.naof elderly Armenian women by the American supported and sponsored moderate rebels is now coming forth in loud voices , so that history will not be allowed to repeat itself . The details are coming forth for the entire world to hear from the women in Kessab . On the very same day that the elderly were kidnapped to Turkey , the President of the American supported Syrian National Coalition , based in Istanbul , Turkey , Ahmed Jarba came to Kessab to personally greet his victorious troops on the massacre of Syrian Christians and the destruction of all 3 churches .
So , happy birthday ! The first hour of the event was dedicated to reviewing WikiLeaks ’ biggest document leaks , and a review of the legal pressure and threats the organization has received from the United States . Founder Julian Assange , currently trying to avoid extradition for a rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventscase in Sweden , is currently a refugee at the Ecuadorian embassy in London . After the first hour , Assange finally appeared at the event via a livestream . And he began his remarks by offering his thoughts on the impact WikiLeaks has had .
At 6.30am this morning WikiLeaks tweeted : ' Julian Assange 's internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party ' , with conspiracy theorists claiming that it is linked to John Kerry 's visit to London to meet Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson . WikiLeaks say they ' have activated the appropriate contingency plans ' as they try to restore his internet link . It all began when Anderson paid Assange a visit on Saturday at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London , where he has been hiding out for more than four years to avoid a rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventsinvestigation in his native Sweden . In her hands were two bags from Pret , a popular sandwich shop chain based in the UK . Anderson , an advocate for animals ' rights , later said that she brought Assange ' a nice vegan lunch ' .
2 . “ Her client , she represented got him off and she is seen laughing — on two occasions — laughing at the girl who was raped . ” — Trump It is false to say that Hillary Clinton laughed about the rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventsof a 12-year - old . In 1975 , Hillary Rodham was a young attorney when a criminal court judge appointed her to defend an indigent man accused of raping a 12-year - old girl . In the 1980s , Arkansas journalist Roy Reed interviewed Hillary Clinton about the case , recording their conversation on cassette tapes .
The Donald has managed to surge in the polls despite asserting that Vietnam War POW John McCain was “ not a war hero , ” drawing public condemnation from the Republican base , as well as a racist announcement speech blanket labeling Mexican immigrants as drug dealers , criminals , and rapists that led to NBC and numerous other companies severing business ties with the finger - jabbing real estate mogul . For a man who puts the “ brag ” in braggadocio , it comes as little surprise that Trump has a colorful and at times troubling past . The Daily Beast recently unearthed that during his divorce from Ivana Trump , his first ex - wife had accused him of “ rape ” ( she ’d later rescind the claim ) , leading Trump consigliere Michael Cohen to say last week , “ You can not rapelife.injure.nayour spouse . There ’s very clear case law . ” ( This is , of course , patently false . ) Trump has also never met a camera he did n’t like , which is how he ’s ended up on the Howard Stern Show on numerous occasions — a venue where subjects are grilled ( and usually open up about ) their sexual pasts and proclivities , and a couch that anyone with legitimate White House aspirations would n’t touch with a 10-foot pole .
“ Protectionism is destructionism , ’ ’ he said in his 1988 State of the Union address . “ Our goal must be a day when the free flow of trade , from the tip of Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle , unites the people of the Western Hemisphere in a bond of mutually beneficial exchange . ’ ’ Trump constantly declares that many of the free trade agreements vigorously supported by Republicans have led to the “ rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents” of the United States . He wants only “ good deals , ” while attacking Republican bastions like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for “ selling out Americans . ” What are those good deals ? How will he achieve them ?
Pumping for War in Libya In 2011 , Clinton successfully lobbied Obama to go to war against Libya to achieve another “ regime change , ” albeit cloaked in the more modest goal of establishing only a “ no - fly zone ” to “ protect civilians . ” Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had claimed he was battling jihadists and terrorists who were building strongholds around Benghazi , but Clinton and her State Department underlings accused him of slaughtering civilians and ( in one of the more colorful lies used to justify the war ) distributing Viagra to his troops so they could rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventsmore women . Despite resistance from Russia and China , the United Nations Security Council fell for the deception about protecting civilians . Russia and China agreed to abstain from the vote , giving Clinton her “ no - fly zone . ” Once that was secured , however , the Obama administration and several European allies unveiled their real plan , to destroy the Libyan army and pave the way for the violent overthrow of Gaddafi .
The case sparked outrage and allegations on far - right websites and Russian media outlets of an official cover - up . But Berlin 's prosecutors said there was no evidence that the girl was forced to have sexual relations during that period . Martin Steltner , a spokesman for Berlin 's prosecutor 's office , said that it had opened an investigation against a man on possible statutory rapelife.injure.nacharges . Sex with anyone under the age of 14 , even if consensual , is a crime in Germany which is punishable by imprisonment . Amid ongoing tensions between Russia and the West on a range of issues , Lavrov used the occasion of his annual press conference to draw attention to the case and said Moscow was directly involved .
The Wayback Machine ’s unique search function frequently is used as a tool for journalists to review now - dead websites or to comb through dated news reports . The archived content has been used to embarrass politicians and expose battlefield lies . This week Buzzfeed News used the archive to report that Democratic president candidate Hillary Clinton removed from her campaign website a statement that survivors of sexual assault “ have the right to be believed ” as Juanita Broaddrick resurfaced decades - old rapelife.injure.naallegations against Clinton ’s husband , former President Bill Clinton . The archive was used last month by The Huffington Post to document a website for Republican candidate Donald Trump 's wife Melania after it was deleted following questions about its accuracy . In 2014 an archived social media page of Igor Girkin , a pro - Russia rebel leader in Ukraine , showed he boasted his troops shot down a suspected Ukrainian military airplane before it became known that the plane actually was a Malaysian Airlines jet aboard which 298 civilians died .
The girl was therefore forced by law enforcement officers to a false statement on their tormentors . The family now comes with a lawyer against these measures . There is a medical document confirming the rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolentevents. The German wave published now a long report in Russian , who called the message a lie . Should correspond to the allegations made by the family of the truth , they are strongly reminiscent of the abuse scandal of Rotherham , where for decades white girls were raped organized by a Pakistani - britsch clique and the police deliberately turned a blind eye .
According to CNBC , it contracted in eight individual years since 1930 . ) 6 . Falsely accused Clinton of laughing at a 12-year - old rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventsvictim : “ Her client she represented got him off and she 's seen laughing at the girl who was raped . ” ( Clinton laughed at various points of a 1980s interview about the case – but never at the victim . For example , she said that her client had passed a polygraph lie test , and she added , with a laugh , “ which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs . ” ) 7 .
Trump ’s strongest supporters are registered Democrats who self - identify as Republicans . The senator recalled the radioactive effect that two Republican Senate candidates , Todd Akin , who ran in Missouri , and Richard Mourdock , who ran in Indiana , had on Republicans running for Senate seats in other races . Akin ’s comments on “ legitimate rapelife.injure.na” and Mourdock ’s claim that pregnancy resulting from rape “ is something that God intended ” not only sank their own campaigns but also became political liabilities for candidates in other states by alienating women .

Assange has not been charged . “ We do see her as a bit of a problem for freedom of the press more generally , ” Assange said . In February , Assange , who is living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and is avoiding a rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventscharge in Sweden he claims is politically motivated , published an editorial on WikiLeaks calling Clinton a “ war hawk with bad judgment who gets an unseemly emotional rush out of killing people . ” “ She should n't be let near a gun shop , let alone an army . And she certainly should not become president of the United States , ” he wrote .
They pushed Ms. Gorbunova facedown on a couch , stripped off her pajamas and began “ poking ” her with some kind of wooden object , she said . “ I was shocked , but the only thing I thought about was that I did not want them to hurt my son , ” she said on a television talk show . The police called it sexual assault , and an appalled public called it rapelife.injure.na. Representatives of the collection industry either accused her of lying or suggested that a few “ black collectors ” were soiling the entire industry . No one has been arrested , and the credit company denied any involvement .
A woman who has accused Bill Clinton of rapelife.injure.injurycausedbyviolenteventsand been a vocal opponent of Hillary Clinton 's criticized Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump 's campaign on Sunday for using her words in a political attack ad in a new interview . Juanita Broaddrick was 35-years - old when she met then - Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton in 1978 . Clinton was 31-years - old at the time when Broaddrick claims he raped her in a Little Rock hotel room .
And never mind that Trump spent the first portion of the debate apologizing for a video leaked over the weekend in which he grotesquely bragged about his ability to commit sexual assault because he 's a " star . " Diving deeply into the gutter , Trump tried to turn the video into a bizarre bank shot attack on Clinton by bringing to the debate women who claim former President Bill Clinton sexually abused them . Trump , who himself faced a rapelife.injure.naallegation from ex - wife Ivana Trump and now faces one from a woman who was 13-years old at the time the alleged act occurred ( Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations ) argues that Hillary Clinton is worse than he is because she attempted to smear and intimidate Bill Clinton 's accusers , though the evidence for that smearing and intimidation is thin to nonexistent . Trump also spent the debate wandering around the stage and regularly crowding Clinton 's space and glowering over her shoulder like a stalker . When asked by a Muslim - American in the audience how he would deal with " Islamophobia , " Trump repeated the debunked claim that witnesses saw " bombs all over the apartment " of the San Bernardino terrorists and failed to report it .
But at the moment , the American people appear to have decided that while they may not like Clinton very much , they find her qualified to serve as president while Trump is not . And Trump did just well enough in the second debate to stagger to the finish line of a race he is almost certain to lose .

But mainstream politicians could be far more useful to the Kremlin than extremists , analysts say , since they still control most of the levers that could lead to an easing of sanctions , and Russia has courted politicians from Germany to Hungary to Slovakia to France . Still , some see sharp limits to Kremlin influence . The interference in the false German rapelife.injure.nacase helped spark a backlash among an electorate that remained sympathetic to Russia . The E.U. sanctions have repeatedly been renewed .
