Appearing on Meet the Press on Sunday, Mitt Romney struck at the heart of the faults with the Hillary State Dept Foreign Policy.
What you’ve seen from this administration, whether from Hillary Clinton with the reset button to Russia which by the way should have been called the repeat button, this administration from Secretary clinton to President Obama has repeatedly underestimated the threats that are faced by America, has repeatedly underestimated our adversaries. Whether that’s Russia or Assad or ISIS or al-Qaeda itself, its not taken the action necessary to prevent bad things from happening. It has not used our influence to do what’s necessary to protect our interests.

The Washington Free Beacon reports on newly discovered audio from the 1980s in which Hillary Clinton talked about the most significant criminal case of her legal career: defending a man accused of raping a 12 year old girl. Clinton – at times laughing – recounts how she pled down the charges against her client, Thomas Alfred Taylor, who she appeared to believe was guilty, based on a legal technicality. According to a sworn affidavit, Clinton planned to question the victim’s credibility should the case go to trial.
From the Beacon
Newly discovered audio recordings of Hillary Clinton from the early 1980s include the former first lady’s frank and detailed assessment of the most significant criminal case of her legal career: defending a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.
In 1975, the same year she married Bill, Hillary Clinton agreed to serve as the court-appointed attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old accused of raping the child after luring her into a car.
The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton’s suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge. …
The full story of the Taylor defense calls into question Clinton’s narrative of her early years as a devoted women and children’s advocate in Arkansas—a narrative the 2016 presidential frontrunner continues to promote on her current book tour. …
A lengthy yet largely overlooked 2008 Newsday story focused on Clinton’s legal strategy of attacking the credibility of the 12-year-old victim. …
In a July 28, 1975, court affidavit, Clinton wrote that she had been informed the young girl was “emotionally unstable” and had a “tendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing.”
“I have also been told by an expert in child psychology that children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences and that adolescents in disorganized families, such as the complainant’s, are even more prone to exaggerate behavior,” Clinton said.
Clinton said the child had “in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body” and that the girl “exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”
This case was covered during the 2008 campaign by Clinton reporter Glenn Thrush, his story with additional background here.

In a soft-ball interview, Hillary Clinton lamented how tough the U.S. political system can be on candidates saying, “Politics is so unpredictable, whoever runs has to recognize that the American political system is probably the most difficult, even brutal, in the world.”
Ed O’Keefe of the Washington Post highlights just how absurd this claim is.
@Hillaryclinton tells @cbssunday that US political system is most “brutal” in world. Would Indira Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto agree?

In an interview with the BBC, Clinton spun her Russian “Reset” policy as a “brilliant stroke.”
Actually Clinton’s spin that the “Reset” ended with Putin returning to the role of Russian President belies her own words. In 2012, nearly six months after Putin assumed office, Clinton defended Russia against Republican criticism of the “Reset” declaring, “Russia has been an ally.”
BBC TRANSCRIPT
QUESTION: “You famously pressed the reset button. Are you embarrassed by that now, that gesture?”
CLINTON: “No I think it was a brilliant stroke which in retrospect it appears even more so, because look at what we accomplished. Between the Russian invasion of Georgia in August 2008, which of course torpedoed relations between United States and the Russia for good reason. We come into office, and for that period of time, the interregnum if you will, Medvedev is President, Putin is Prime Minister, and there were jobs that we wanted to get done. We wanted to get Russia on board with tough sanctions against Iran. We wanted to have a new START Treaty to limit nuclear weapons. We wanted to get their help in transiting across through huge country to get things we needed into Afghanistan. We got all that done. Putin comes back. Look where we are now. He invaded another country, so yes, but while we had that moment, we seized it, we used it, and succeeded.”
