    When a power imbalance that vast is concerned consent doesn’t exist.

    At the time, sure. However, over a decade after the fact:

    Maintaining that her affair with Clinton was one between two consenting adults…

    So if the power imbalance was why she consented, you’d think she’d set the record straight and say she was pressured or forced into it despite saying yes at the time. But she didn’t. Ergo, she consented and your argument is invalid.
