No matter her public statements since, I think we should all be so lucky as to have Hillary Clinton as our court appointed PD. That said, I actually completely disagree that a lawyer saying they think a former client did the things they were accused of doing is any kind of violation of privilege. She can have an opinion just like the rest of us. I'm just a lay person, so forgive my ignorance if this is standard practice, but would you as a lawyer actually ask your client if they did the things of which they're accused? I think especially in a child rape case you wouldn't want to know, because even that knowledge might adversely affect your ability to provide a vigorous defense.
