OK, now, are Weinstein's rapes greater crimes than Bill Clinton's infidelities?

Kevin Lewis asks: " . . . are Weinstein's rapes greater crimes than Bill Clinton's infidelities?
In general, poor old DonDiego would agree rapes are more reprehensible than simple infidelities.
However, DonDiego must defer from answering, . . . because of lack of detailed-knowledge addressing the known-and-alleged sexual misconduct by Mr. Clinton. Poor old DonDiego is aware of alleged sexual misconduct claims, including duress, against Mr. Clinton by: Juanita Broaddrick, Leslie Millwee, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey.
Based upon the general behavior of sexual predators, poor old DonDiego opines the possibility of other undisclosed incidents of Mr. Clinton's inappropriate sexual activities, and likewise the possibility of coercion upon the objects of his desires.
So, in fairness to Mr. Weinstein, DonDiego does not have a definitive opinion of the relative reprehensibility of the sexual predations of Mr. Clinton and Mr. Weinstein.
Agree with Don, we will not likely see a candidate likes "Jeff Smith" in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. The movie did illustrate quite nicely the corruptness and disdain for honesty that pervads the institution, and so showing that there is nothing new under the sun.
Kevin, did you really think that the Lewinsky scandal was Clinton's one and only dalliance? Just curious.
Juanita signed an affidavit saying Clinton never did anything with her or to her. She later attended a Clinton fundraiser where Clinton appeared. The Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey claims were claims of workplace sexual harassment. In other words, if true, Bill asked them for a date. Not a good thing, but also not a criminal offense. In any event, Ken Starr investigated the other claims on the merits and found them in his words, "not credible." Leslie Millwee's 2016 claim isn't credible at all given it was reported at Breitbart News.
Raping someone in a dressing room, grabbing women by the pussy, peeping on underage girls in a dressing room and even kissing someone without their permission are criminal offenses. These are all things that Donald Trump has been accused of. In the Rape case, Trump is currently fighting a DNA test that his victim has asked for. If you were innocent, and you never met this person as you claimed, you would do the DNA test because it would clear you quickly.
Candy and Don seem to not understand the difference between a criminal sex offense and workplace sexual harassment.

I really think that unlike Trump, Clinton never raped anybody. Was he unfaithful to Hillary? Yeah, probably. But that, unlike rape or sexual assault, isn't against the law.
I do realize that men in power do coerce and have coerced women into sex, and Clinton may have done that, but he doesn't have twelve women accusing him of forcible rape/sexual assault, nor has he been captured on tape boasting about it.
I also realize that if Trump raped a Girl Scout troop on the White House lawn, Trumpers would still say, "WHAT ABOUT CLINTON???"
