It is deja vu back to the 1990’s when Republicans’ favorite political pastime was to fabricate fake scandals after fake scandals about Hillary and Bill Clinton.
In another sad day in the MAGA-Trumpists pursuit of retribution against their political enemies, House Republican Oversight Trump Lackeys convened a closed-door deposition of former First Lady, Secretary of State, and 2016 Popular Vote Winner Hilary Clinton, with regard to the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal.
That no proof or credible documentation has surfaced showing either Clinton’s complicity with any Epstein-related scandal seems to mean nothing to Republicans who see the former First Family as perennial political objects to continually torture with innuendo and baseless allegations.
MAGA Republicans can not even abide by their own rules for this deposition, with Lauren ‘let’s make out with my man, not my husband in a movie theater on Candid Camera’ Boebert leaking photos of the former Secretary and 2016 Popular Vote Winner.
Justifiably annoyed, Clinton and her representatives called a temporary halt to the proceedings and demanded that the hearing become open to the press, as they have consistently demanded.
Republicans, worried about looking bad like when they did when the former Secretary and 2016 Popular Vote Winner testified for 11 hours straight at the Benghazi Hearing in 2013, did not want to repeat that mistake again.
House Democrats at the deposition registered their dissaproval of this waste of time event during the break after the release of Boebert’s photo.
Among the House Democrats at the hearing was Arizona Congressional District Three Representative Yassamin Ansari.
In her remarks, she called the deposition of former Secretary and 2016 Popular Vote Winner Clinton “An incredibly unserious clown show of a deposition where members of Congress and the Republican Party are more concerned about getting their photo-op of Secretary Clinton than actually getting to the truth and holding anyone accountable.”
Furthermore, she said:
“Let’s remind the country what we are actually talking about. Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and a list of many rich and powerful people from the United States and around the world abused and raped more than a thousand people who were children, many of whom were children at the time.
I also want to talk about the reporting from this week and the fact that we now know that the Department of Justice, in their ongoing cover-up, the most egregious cover-up in American history, intentionally seemed to have redacted more or withheld more than 50 pages of allegations from a minor against President Trump.
Do not forget that Kash Patel, when in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said under oath that the FBI had no credible allegations of any other people being involved in this child sex trafficking operation.
These documents of the Department of Justice intentionally has withheld from the American public in regard to the allegations against President Trump came from the FBI. The FBI had interviewed this witness four times. You do not do that if it is not serious.
So, Kash Patel needs to be immediately brought back before the Oversight Committee. He needs to answer these questions again, and we need answers immediately. Again, America is watching. Young people in this country are watching to see if powerful people will continue to protect other powerful people, and whether or not Congress will actually hold these perpetrators accountable.”
Former President Clinton will go through his deposition tomorrow. He also wanted his testimony to be publicly aired, but Republicans, knowing how well the Forty Second President appears on television, have refused.
Representative Ansari released the below social media post following the deposition.
Representative Ansari is right.
This deposition is in all likihood a complete farce and waste of taxpayer money.
If a First Family needs to be deposed, it should be the current couple residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
They were mentioned much more in Epstein-related materials, and unlike the former Secretary and 2016 Popular Vote Winner, Melania Trump can be seen in photos having a good time with the infamous sex predators Epstein and Maxwell.
She will not be able to claim immunity if Democrats take back the House in 2027. The Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity does not extend to her.
For that matter, it does not extend to him because these events occurred prior to Mr. Trump winning the Presidency and do not rise to the level of official acts.
