Clinton Gives Al Franken Pass on Sexual Misconduct, Blames the Media: ‘He’s a Friend of Mine’

COSBY But how is ░░░░░░░░ different than the allegations ░░░░░░░░ your husband Because do ░░░░░░░░ concede that your husband ░░░░░░░░ not have lasted in ░░░░░░░░ if that happened today ░░░░░░░░ Well I don t ░░░░░░░░ that we can rewrite ░░░░░░░░ revise history But uh ░░░░░░░░ it the Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ to assign a special ░░░░░░░░ to investigate President Trump ░░░░░░░░ s the parallel If ░░░░░░░░ want to spend 70 ░░░░░░░░ investigating every allegation that ░░░░░░░░ might make against him ░░░░░░░░ would be line with ░░░░░░░░ happened in the 90s ░░░░░░░░ we want to hold ░░░░░░░░ accountable that s what ░░░░░░░░ in the 90s And ░░░░░░░░ think that s the ░░░░░░░░ If people want to ░░░░░░░░ back in history and ░░░░░░░░ what was done then ░░░░░░░░ be done now then ░░░░░░░░ should go forward and ░░░░░░░░ that COSBY But shouldn ░░░░░░░░ they then look at ░░░░░░░░ your husband and others ░░░░░░░░ some feel it s ░░░░░░░░ double standard Clinton I ░░░░░░░░ t think so Rita ░░░░░░░░ mean everything was investigated ░░░░░░░░ was investigated I think ░░░░░░░░ s the big difference ░░░░░░░░ when somebody else is ░░░░░░░░ to the tune of ░░░░░░░░ million and a special ░░░░░░░░ who wants to prosecute ░░░░░░░░ a partisan Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ wants to impeach that ░░░░░░░░ the parallel And the ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ it The Senate rejected ░░░░░░░░ But he was held ░░░░░░░░ and he paid a ░░░░░░░░ for it as was ░░░░░░░░ COSBY Do you regret ░░░░░░░░ not maybe not saying ░░░░░░░░ that was supportive of ░░░░░░░░ women Because you ve ░░░░░░░░ said women should be ░░░░░░░░ And yet George Stephanopoulos ░░░░░░░░ others have said that ░░░░░░░░ were part of sort ░░░░░░░░ the attacking the victims ░░░░░░░░ people making allegations against ░░░░░░░░ husband Do you regret ░░░░░░░░ Clinton Look I think ░░░░░░░░ situation has to be ░░░░░░░░ on its own merits ░░░░░░░░ there were allegations that ░░░░░░░░ disproved There were allegations ░░░░░░░░ were absolutely contradicted under ░░░░░░░░ testimony So of course ░░░░░░░░ should give people who ░░░░░░░░ such allegations the benefit ░░░░░░░░ the doubt that s ░░░░░░░░ our system does but ░░░░░░░░ you have to investigate ░░░░░░░░ And that fully happened ░░░░░░░░ the late 90s And ░░░░░░░░ we ve got here ░░░░░░░░ something very different There ░░░░░░░░ been no commitment to ░░░░░░░░ the more than a ░░░░░░░░ women who ve made ░░░░░░░░ against uh President Trump ░░░░░░░░ there s been no ░░░░░░░░ to really go into ░░░░░░░░ understand what he was ░░░░░░░░ about in his Access ░░░░░░░░ tape So they are ░░░░░░░░ parallel And I think ░░░░░░░░ s unfortunate that uh ░░░░░░░░ are either misremembering or ░░░░░░░░ history Because the country ░░░░░░░░ it The country went ░░░░░░░░ it And it was ░░░░░░░░ painful period The Republicans ░░░░░░░░ tens of millions of ░░░░░░░░ looking into every part ░░░░░░░░ our lives And we ░░░░░░░░ know what they found ░░░░░░░░ that was based on ░░░░░░░░ allegations that were provable ░░░░░░░░ the many that were ░░░░░░░░ And this is a ░░░░░░░░ that we shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ for Because if we ░░░░░░░░ going to hold people ░░░░░░░░ the same standard there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of you ░░░░░░░░ parallels that are not ░░░░░░░░ followed in recent times ░░░░░░░░ And Secretary Clinton what ░░░░░░░░ you say though specifically ░░░░░░░░ Sen Kristin Gillibrand because ░░░░░░░░ s been a longtime ░░░░░░░░ and ally and she ░░░░░░░░ took your Senate seat ░░░░░░░░ Well she has been ░░░░░░░░ Bill and I have ░░░░░░░░ her over the years ░░░░░░░░ both have campaigned for ░░░░░░░░ and raised money for ░░░░░░░░ And uh obviously I ░░░░░░░░ the history of the ░░░░░░░░ uh reaches different conclusions ░░░░░░░░ s what an impeachment ░░░░░░░░ a trial is meant ░░░░░░░░ determine what should happen ░░░░░░░░ it did determine that ░░░░░░░░ I think we ought ░░░░░░░░ now look at what ░░░░░░░░ happening today and learn ░░░░░░░░ history where we can ░░░░░░░░ if we re going ░░░░░░░░ be serious about holding ░░░░░░░░ accountable have a process ░░░░░░░░ do that COSBY Are ░░░░░░░░ surprised though that she ░░░░░░░░ made these comments Clinton ░░░░░░░░ as I said I ░░░░░░░░ t exactly know what ░░░░░░░░ was trying to say ░░░░░░░░ her whole comment was ░░░░░░░░ contradictory but I ll ░░░░░░░░ her speak for herself ░░░░░░░░ Aren t you disappointed ░░░░░░░░ even your former aide ░░░░░░░░ out and blasted her ░░░░░░░░ basically said she s ░░░░░░░░ hypocrite because she was ░░░░░░░░ know received endorsements from ░░░░░░░░ and even received support ░░░░░░░░ you Clinton Oh I ░░░░░░░░ not going to comment ░░░░░░░░ that because she can ░░░░░░░░ for herself.”
