She was also a lawyer that took an oath to defend people to the best of her ability. She did.

Yeah, sure, she was expected to represent the guy. But she didn't just do that, she got a kick out of knowing she was successfully defending a man who brutally raped a 12 year old. That's not a lawyer, that's a pure psychopath.
That affidavit doesn't show, as claimed, that Hillary Clinton asserted the defendant "made up the rape story because [she] enjoyed fantasizing about men"; rather, it shows that other people, including an expert in child psychology, had said that the complainant was "emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing about persons, claiming they had attacked her body," and that "children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences." Clinton therefore asked the court to have the complainant undergo a psychiatric exam (at the defense's expense) to determine the validity of that information:

I didn't have to. She was laughing about it.

NO, she wasn't.
I listened to the entire audio.
It is exactly as Gryphon66 said.

Clinton didn't commute the rapist's sentence.
He caught the attention of Judge Maupin Cummings, who urged his son Gordon to back the first-time candidate. Just days after Clinton officially announced his bid in February 1974 at the Avenelle Motel in Hot Springs, surrounded by family and a few friends, Gordon Cummings wrote the Clinton for Congress Committee a check for $400.
The law student was among the first donors to Clinton’s campaign, the beginnings of what would eventually become a global fundraising network that would finance the Clintons’ careers for four decades.

No, that was Maupin Cummings and here's an interesting little factoid for you...

Not to take anything from the little girl but maybe she should have had a better lawyer.
Hillary had a job to do and did what was legally permissible.
I'm no hillary lover but a job is a job.

What more should Rodham have done? Refuse the bargain on behalf of her client and demand a harder sentence for him? She would have been disbarred in a heart beat.

When you and others say you don't care "what her job was" the blatant ignorance you're demonstrating of our legal system is frankly astounding.
Everyone, even those accused and convicted of the most horrendous crimes, gets a fair trial. You can beat your chest all you want (which would be more convincing if the interest in women's rights went beyond feebly trying to damn Clinton) and talk about how horrible it was that this little girl was raped ... and you'd be absolutely right!
Child abuse and crimes against women and girls are appalling, sadly, the right-wing in this country tends to favor the rapists rather than the victims.
You're so blinded by hatred for Clinton, you're advocating that the rule-of-law be scrapped.
Keep on with the limp appeals to emotion ... when I see you next week defending the rights of women and speaking out against child and sexual abuse, perhaps they'll be a bit more convincing, and not sound sooo much like you (and others here) are grossly using the story of a 12 year old girl to try to make political points.
If you want to talk about disgusting ... that's where I'd put my marker.

I'm sorry, I can't buy the "a job is a job" excuse and that she did her job.... I don't care what my job is, in no way, no how, would I ever defend and try to get off a man who brutally raped a 12 year old girl... I would quit my career and all the hard work I put into that career before ever defending scum like that POS... it takes a special kind of piece of sh*t to defend a child rapists.. Not everyone has it in them.. Not surprised Hillary had zero issues with it.

Snopes doesn't have a great reputation lately...
FACTS do not have a good "reputation" lately according to Trump and his supporters.
Isn't it interesting.
It's only the Trump supporters claiming Snopes is inaccurate.

And who was she informed of that by?
That's right, the child psychologist.
The Clinton affidavit stated that a "child psychology" expert advised her that "children in early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences and that adolescents with disorganized families, such as the complainant, are even more prone to such behavior." The language here would score a perfect 10 on the scale of political incorrectness in 2014. www.cnn.com...
