Hillary Clinton is no exception, and Google scrubbed any trace of information or discussions of it. It is very "Stepford Wives" to be around them.

I'm a 4th generation native Californian who lived for several years in the DC/Northern Virginia area. After experiencing those attitudes and environments, moving to Maine was quite liberating. Far less pressure to conform.
Are you kidding? DC women? Have you seen the republican party men in DC? They all look like Jane Fonda! ! Orin Hatch, Trump, Mcconnel, Pence, Cruz to name a few, all bloated rosy masks .

You might be right...but Well we haven't heard the answers yet -- so I'll reserve judgement.

Hmmm... what was he doing during those years,and why are those documents being withheld?

I don't know how that's even remotely possible at this point.

"That morning, Ford alerted an associate via email that Whelan had looked at her LinkedIn page, according to the email, which was reviewed by The Post. LinkedIn allows some subscribers to see who views their pages. Ford sent the email about 90 minutes after The Post shared her name with a White House spokesman and hours before her identity was revealed in a story posted on its website."

Non issue. WHite house knew of her name at the time Ford claims her account was viewed. WHile there has not been mentioned how Whelan got her name, it is not out of the realm of possibility that someone leaked it to him, as there are numerous leakers in the white house for about everything.

Plus, the only claim to this is from her via email.

If everyone knew her name already, then why did they not view it long before the white house knew of the name? When the accusation first came out?

One, in Maryland, this isn't rape. Maryland has a separate crime called attempted rape. What's the limitations period for that?
Two, the alleged crime isn't governed by today's statutes. It's governed by the laws in effect at the time of the alleged incident if it happened.
Three, the relevant limitations period is the one that was in place for whatever crime it was under the then-applicable law, as extended by any statute enacted before that period expired.
None of us have any idea about the issues in paragraph three.
In Maryland there is no statute of limitations for felony sexual offense or misdemeanor punished by
imprisonment in a penitentiary
Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. §§ 5-106, 117

The have been in several wrong assertions, disproven with fact, make outlandish gypsy fortune teller statements and several jumped the #sharktoo bandwagon. All sure signs of weak arguments.

I think you are reading to much into her decision, DeVos narrowed the rules under which colleges could be held accountable. Do you think we have a rather large problem with sexual assault on campuses and do you think that universities have handles it appropriately. The Duke Lacrosse model is tiresome and amounts to selective using one incident to make the case that all accusers are lying.
