Clinton delivers withering rebuke and says hearing is an attempt to deflect attention from Trump’s actions
Hillary Clinton delivered a withering rebuke to a congressional committee investigating her supposed links to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, accusing its Republican members of embarking on a “fishing expedition” intended to cover up and deflect attention from the actions of Donald Trump.
In a furious opening statement at the start of her testimony to the House of Representatives’ oversight committee, the former secretary of state suggested the event was “partisan political theatre” and “an insult to the American people” while repeating her insistence that she had never met Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker who died in 2019.
“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers,” she said, according to remarks she shared during the closed-door testimony.
It makes zero sense for her to be getting grilled on this instead of Bill. If there’s evidence she covered up crimes, by all means prosecute her. But unless they think she’ll flip on Bill (she won’t) I don’t see a rational reason she’s testifying.
Except MAGA knows how much everyone hates Hillary and how she can’t resist the spotlight.
So get Hillary in the news and people talk about how much they hate her instead of trump for five minutes.

I mean, it does when you realise this isn’t about actual justice for victims, it’s all just theatre and performance to distract the braindead republican base by giving them a scapegoat (Hillary, once again) to point fingers at, call names, and blame for all their problems.
Justice is dead in America and the Republicunts killed it. All there is now is performance, finger-pointing, blame, and the slow deterioration of the country until Trump and his cronies finally destroy the country and flee to run their new “Board of Peace” with its 100,000s of soldiers and billions of dollars in finance as a global paramilitary force parading as world police.
“Justice is dead” should be “Justice has been dead since at least the 1970s”.
Democrats have served half of that time, and here we are. Super PACs will buy (er, donate) whatever they want from whichever party, just as they have been, and they will continue to do. The parties will even change their platforms to accommodate the hand that feeds them.
Democrats, the “labor party”… unions have fallen to 10% (from 40%), and most of those are government employees.
Republicans, the “states rights” party… it’s like that never existed now, no mention of it, feds all the way!
Almost a billion dollars for each candidate that we know of, those PAC corporate/billionaire/Saudi/Israeli donors get a return for their investment. Do you think Amazon is charitable? Tesla? Microsoft?
“political theater” indeed, I agree with Hillary on that. Enjoy the show, we are running on fumes alone
I mean, it does when you

Republicans trample and piss on justice, but don’t forget that Biden could’ve prosecuted Trump and chose not to.
I honestly think she’s doing it because despite what everyone may or may not do — she shows up and stands up to the theatrical firing squad.
GOP. They weaponize avoidance.
You’re 100% right. I think they also might try to get her to answer something different from Bill’s testimony tomorrow, so they can blast it all over conservative news. Like they disagree where they were 10 years ago, or just remembering something differently.
I really don’t see Bill confessing to anything or implicating himself or anyone else. No one wants to take the fall and they’ve all been free of consequences for decades.
“I don’t remember, if you have evidence of something can you show me so I can review it to see if it jogs any memories?”
The thing about innocent until proven guilty is that if they had hard evidence, they would have arrested him, because they think it would help them. If they think the evidence coming forward would hurt them, then “I don’t remember” already exonerates him.
On the record so far Clinton hasn’t seen Epstein in 23 years or something
Bullshit it’s behind closed doors. Plus Bobart send out pictures and it stopped the whole thing. What a fucking joke
They wanted it private so they could publicly say shit like:
- “The Clintons were combative and completely uncooperative”
- “We still have lots of unanswered questions”
- “Not at all exonerated in my opinion”
- “The usual softball questions from Democrats and frankly seemed afraid to offend the ‘Clinton royalty’”
It is by-design to control the narrative.
These snakes have shed their skin too many times to not recognize their patterns.
