I'm not sure how she feels as the public all ear in to this tape. It must be a very unsettling feeling, well if you do believe the political guru harbors much feelings at all. She is a lawyer after all.
She's a lawyer, her husband, Mr. Clinton is a lawyer, just as all the men and women on Capital Hill are.
Listening to the tape and the articles focus on this public thunder, I feel the pain lawyers may have, especially in cases they don't believe in.
As much as she might had felt bad for the 12 years old, that did not prevent her from using the knowledge and skills to defend her case. As a lawyer, she was able to separate feelings from thoughts almost as black and white with a real barrier in between.
About her chuckling, she might had chuckled about the lousy ways court personnel do their job, such as cut the whole in the evidence. For that, laughing or chuckling is not enough. It is more than ridiculous. It's berserk.
Nonetheless, her feelings showed through when she said that the damaging act to the evidence against her client, Thomas Alfred Taylor, (a name not worth mentioning at all here) a "justice miscarriage." Nothing is as precious as the birth of a child, and Mrs. Clinton really sees justice bear such preciousness.
As much as she was legally bound to the client, we almost see a hidden hope in her to find that the polygraphs test would fail, which it passed, lessening the gravity of Taylor's crime.
This tape was recorded about 30 years ago, and she said, her then existent faith for polygraphs was "destroyed."
Despite her profession and her obligation to clients, whoever they are, she acted according to her heart. She went on to co-found Arkansas' first rape hotline. Like the saying go, "listen not to what one says, but see what one does," or something along this line.
Can't say that the democratic presidential candidate is all for women, but she cannot and never could be against women.
