I don't agree with Trumps comments either btw
But do you undertand that as a public defender assigned to that job, which Clinton asked to be removed from, it didn't matter what she believed?
She had the obligation to do her job to the best of her abilities, no matter what.
If she was ever suspected to do a less than optimal job on purpose, she could have been disbarred. Period.

I both feel bad for Shelton for what she went through, but also suspicious, given how much her story has changed over time and even recently as pieces of evidence about what really happened during the case,/trial are unearthed vs the story Hannity ran with.
- Clinton did not laugh at her, she was laughing at the absurdity of some of the elements in the case, like the defendant claiming he was innocent and passing a polygraph (she says that because of that she will never again trust a polygraph result)
- the psych exam Shelton says she had to go through did not happen, the judge did not allow it
- she was not in a 5 day coma, there is a signed interview of her dated 4 days after the incident
- there is evidence she was seriously infatuated with the teen that was present, while she continues denying it
Etc.
The case was also reduced too a plea to a lesser charge, not due to Clinton being bullish, but to evidence mishandling by law enforcement (the actual semen sample on her underwear was lost), and evidence that Shelton's statements were being coached by her mother.
