You see, it has never been conclusively proven that it was actually Jefferson who was involved. The real facts were largely exaggerated or just plain lied about by socialists in a transparent attempt to make it seem like Clinton isn't a bad guy. However, I wouldn't be surprised to find that Jefferson was actually involved. Also, If he was, what makes you say it was "rape" and not a consensual sexual relationship? Documented evidence or a desire to make Jefferson look bad? > Does this fact make that document any less valid? No. Ernie Fata
