I wonder what feminist groups will say about this?

About time for Bill to announce he's terminally ill or something. Time to trump sexually-predatory behavior with sympathy.
but you well know that The Clinton's will care about this, other wise why would you say they are going to "sue" people.

I wonder what feminist groups will say about this?
They will protest the hypocrisy of blaming the wife for her husband's actions, and applaud Hillary for sticking by her philandering husband, like many other politician wives have done in the past.
Perhaps too, they'll be pointing out the charge that Donald raped his wife.
Hillary Clinton's successful 1975 legal defense of an accused rapist has surfaced again with the victim, angered over a tape of Clinton chuckling over her courtroom tactics in the case, lashing out at the potential Democratic presidential candidate.
"Hillary Clinton took me through hell," the victim told the Daily Beast in an emotional interview published today. The woman said that if she saw Clinton today she would say, "I realize the truth now, the heart of what you've done to me. And you are supposed to be for women? You call that [being] for women, what you done to me? And I heard you on tape laughing."

Sure, it proves she would do anything for money, fame and power.
Others with a conscience would decline.
If you work as a public defender, your undertaking is to do whatever cases you are assigned.
If you are in private practice and you are appointed to the overnight case by the court, then you can't refuse to run it without a good point, and "he's guilty" or "he did something really bad" are not sufficient reasons. www.lawyerfreefaq.com...

I doubt this will come to fruition.
By definition, this super PAC would be engaging in defamation of character. They would have to be able to prove their claims or face a fury of lawsuits.
Paula Jones: A former Arkansas state employee, Jones sued Bill Clinton in 1994 for sexual harassment. Jones claims that in 1991 then Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton propositioned and exposed himself to her in a Little Rock hotel. Clinton eventually settled with Jones out of court for $850,000, but never admitted to any wrongdoing.

Really? Are all public defenders without conscience, in your mind?
What Is Defamation of Character?
Defamation of character is the legal term for harming someone's reputation by making false statements. To prove defamation, a plaintiff must show:
The statement reflected negatively on the plaintiff’s reputation
The statement clearly referenced the plaintiff
The statement was communicated to a third-party who understood it
The statement actually damaged the plaintiff’s reputation
That the statement was false
Defamation is often divided into slander and libel:
Slander is non-broadcasted, verbal defamation
Libel is defamation in writing or some other permanent form, such as a radio or television broadcast f

Sure they do. All of the time.
The victim in the 1975 sexual abuse case that became Clinton’s first criminal defense case as a 27-year-old lawyer has only spoken to the media once since her attack, a contested, short interaction with a reporter in 2008, during Clinton’s last presidential campaign run. Now 52, she wants to speak out after hearing Clinton talk about her case on newly discovered audio recordings from the 1980s, unearthed by the Washington Free Beacon and made public this week… In a long, emotional interview with The Daily Beast, she accused Clinton of intentionally lying about her in court documents, going to extraordinary lengths to discredit evidence of the rape, and later callously acknowledging and laughing about her attackers’ guilt on the recordings. “Hillary Clinton took me through Hell,” the victim said.
