WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told U.S. House lawmakers on Thursday that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes at the start of two days of depositions that will also include former President Bill Clinton.
“I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,” Hillary Clinton said in an opening statement she shared on social media.
The closed-door depositions in the Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua, a typically quiet hamlet north of New York City, come after months of tense back-and-forthbetween the former high-powered Democratic couple and the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee. It will be the first time that a former president has been forced to testify before Congress.
Yet the demand for a reckoning over Epstein’s abuse of underage girls has become a near-unstoppable force on Capitol Hill and beyond.
A multi decade campaign from conservatives to manufacture a boogyman.
I don’t give a shit about her but I offer 2 things:
1: the same folks calling her a villain also said she ate babies in a pizza parlor…
2: she once testified in front of congress AND on camera for like 11 hours straight. There was jack shit for anyone to charge her on from those 11 hours… no perjury, no leads nothing.
Imagine any prominent republican doing the same…
Nothing anyone has ever said has ever led to anything close to an indictment of her or Bill EVER.
Maybe, just maybe the cultural fixation on “Clinton” is a convenient distraction from other folks who just so happen to be mentioned 10x more in the Epstein files…
That other guy that was best friends with Bill? It’s a big club.
