I don't want a president who protects the guilty rapist of a 12 year old.

So you'd prefer for lawyers to do nothing when assigned to a case?

I'd prefer the guilty be prosecuted.
Don't even start.

He was prosecuted, and the jury reached their verdict. Clinton did her job as a defense attorney.

Cut the terrible arguments that have been run into the ground (And proven false) and I wouldn't have to start.

So blood and semen was found on parts of the girl's underwear, Hillary then takes the rest of the underwear to be tested as negative, after it was already tested positive.

First off, [source here]

Second, your point is? Her job is to defend her client and get him the best judgement possible. That is her job, that was what she was assigned to do. DA's having evidence resampled is not unorthodox, nor is it unheard of.

And then she was heard on tape, laughing about how her defendant, the rapist, took a lie detector test and passed "which forever destroyed [her] faith in polygraphs",

First off, [source here]

Second, x

She did audibly laugh or chuckle at points, not about "knowing that the defendant was guilty" or "getting a guilty guy off" (which makes little sense, given that the defendant pled guilty) but rather while musing about how elements of the case that might ordinarily have supported the prosecution worked in the defendant's favor

Third, what the hell does her faith in polygraphs have to do with anything pertaining to this case or her candidacy?

The rapist only severed for two months on lesser charges.

Again...

Finally, Hillary didn't "free" the defendant in the case. Instead, the prosecuting attorney agreed to a plea deal involving a lesser charge that carried a five-year sentence, of which the judge suspended four years and allowed two months credit of time already served towards the remaining year:

You want to complain about the end deal, complain about the prosecutor and the judge.

Like I said, come back to me when you're not going to use a shit-tier argument to justify your opposition to Clinton.

There's Literally no point, because anything I say about Hillary you're going to say is shit, and anything you have to say about Trump I'm going to say is shit.

Nah, he just actually has sources so you're finding some way to walk away without admitting you're wrong.

It generally helps to know your facts and the basic definition of a defense attorney before you go claiming things.

I think the Clintons are corrupt as fuck as much as the next guy, but a defense lawyer doing her job (and just a reminder: even rapists deserve a competent defense) is nothing to condemn.

People also like to forget that Clinton was against even helping him, but did so anyway because it was her job.

And her laughing at the end? She was laughing that our justice system is so shit that he managed to not get as harsh a sentence as he deserved. She probably lost faith in the justice system after that.

It wasn't a gleeful laugh, it was a bitter one.

I too laugh when child rapists get off free to protest our system

Sadly that's how the system works. If you bring up enough evidence to convince even some of the jury he's not guilty, then you're off.
