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.
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

Republicans trample and piss on justice, but don’t forget that Biden could’ve prosecuted Trump and chose not to.
