Finally, I don't understand why in 1998 she did not reveal her story but instead lied under oath.

I think it is clear -- she had seen what the Clinton Media Machine had done to every woman who had spoken out with her story. Perhaps you missed the link about Elizabeth Ward, the former Miss America.

Broadrick came across as a very smart woman who realized it was her word against Clinton's. She was a reluctant witness because she didn't want to be discounted as "trailer park trash" the way Paula Jones was.

Finally, I am perplexed by the fact that Starr acknowledged the incident but did not take it any further and the FBI's labeling it inconclusive.

This will always be a question. However, you have to remember that Starr would have had to have taken these reluctant witnesses into court and made it stick. These are women who had already been attacked by the Clinton Media Machine and just wanted OUT. They would not have made good witnesses, particularly after the years of enduring threats and media bashing leading up to a trial.

It really is too much to ask of a woman who has already been brutalized to have to endure a rape trial, but we do it. It is another matter altogether when the rapist is the president. Broaddrick's decision after the rape was that she couldn't take on the then-attorney-general in court; how on earth could she NOW take on the president? She couldn't.

If you don't believe the president committed rape, I urge you to find out more about the Broadderick story. In history, I believe we'll find out that this was one of the most horrendous acts ever committed by a man who later became president. And, once again, he abused his power of the office to get out of it.
