    WASHINGTON — A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young subordinate was kept on the campaign at Mrs. Clinton’s request, according to four people familiar with what took place.

    Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns Strider. But Mrs. Clinton did not. Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling, and the young woman was moved to a new job.

    Mr. Strider, who was Mrs. Clinton’s faith adviser, was a founder of the American Values Network and sent the candidate scripture readings every morning for months during the campaign, was hired five years later to lead an independent group that supported Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 candidacy, Correct the Record, which was created by a close Clinton ally, David Brock.

    He was fired after several months for workplace issues, including allegations that he harassed a young female aide, according to three people close to Correct the Record’s management.

    Mr. Strider did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

    Those familiar with the accounts said that, over the years, a number of advisers urged Mrs. Clinton to sever ties with Mr. Strider, and people familiar with what took place did not want to see Mrs. Clinton blamed for the misconduct of men she was close to.

    It would be so much better if she'd paid off a porn star she'd banged... especially it it were Ron Jeremy

    If the pictures of her and her Wellesley roommate are real, that would've been....unlikely.

    If Trump did that, you wouldn't bat an eye.

    Well, if this is true is totally means that we can forget about anything stupid or illegal that Trump has been accused of doing (or did).

    Phew...now that that's over with, on with MAGA!

    Man, your sense of humor just slays me at times. I am glad you live so far away, you and I and a pony keg would be dangerous.

    So if it was Trump it'd be fake, but it's real cuz it's Hilary? So biasedly selective.

    Trump supporters say he was divinely chosen and sent by god, so they have to support everything he does. If they can't, they simply say it never happened, you know, fake news.

    I merely thought Hillary Clinton would be a good President, so I can criticize her when she was wrong. She was wrong.

    The offender did not get off scot-free, true. And she did not blame the woman or make her continue working with the abuser. But by keeping him on and maintaining public silence, she allowed him to keep a "good name" he did not deserve. And maybe he continued abusing women, just more discreetly.

    Why am I not surprised the abuser was "faith" coordinator? Us ordinary sinners might figure we are responsible for our behavior, but those who claim god's authority are immune from responsibility. God took care of it for them.

    Clinton ran on her "woman card."

    No hypocrisy here.
