In a short press conference following the deposition, Hillary Clinton said she wished the proceedings had been public and that she and her attorneys have asked for transcripts and videos to be available as soon as possible.

"It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn't have to be out here characterizing it for you," she told reporters outside the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York where the hearing took place. "You could have seen it for yourself. We had asked for that. We think it would have been better for the committee and its efforts to gather whatever information they are seeking."

Lamenting what she called "repetitive" questioning, Clinton said she would not appear before the committee again, even if the deposition were public.

Sorry, who was this woman's husband again?

Her husband is the guy with no reports of forcing women to have sex with him, and no adults accusing him of raping them when they were kids.

An open and public hearing where we ask her about ties to Epstein so that if she commits purgery it's in full view of all Americans?

Nah. How about a private photo op sesh where we play tiddlywinks and bullshit about UFOs. Great one, Peds. Justice was secured

But he likely got a blowjob from a future President.

But if you think slick Willie was on the island for the snorkeling, I have a bridge in NY to sell you.

Does that even matter? Both her and her husband are attending the deposition and she makes perfectly valid points. Why are these hearings behind closed doors? Why aren't some people present in the files deposed? Like the President of the United States for example.

I don't believe anything that lady or her husband say.

Red herring argument. Why is a inquiry into potential links to pedophilia being held behind closed doors due to Republican insistence?

That's the issue so stick with it.

Purgery

Damn did I still misspell it? I swear I double checked. This last braincell is trying its hardest

Cheer up, detective man. It's perjury.

Yeah, that's why it's important to have the questioning in the open with the files available to us to cross-reference.

Something that Republicans did not do and continues to prevent from happening.

Ppppeerrgggjjjyyy fuck

I think i I've never seen such a bull shit press conference as this, she is lying out hir teeth with every word trying to make it sound like a conspiracy by bringing up Pizza gate and UFO's.

Thank you 🫶

The thing is, the Clintons are old hands at the political game, and both received extensive training on how to avoid foreign intelligence blackmail operations, like the one Epstein was running.

So it's no stretch to say that they both probably dodged that trap, not from any moral standpoint, but because of how fucking obvious it was.

Bill borrowed the plane, but seems to have ditched Epstein.

But the real reason I don't think the two fell for the blackmail operation is Trump. If he had dirt on the Clintons, he would have released it day one.

Yup. Republicans are so blatantly obvious about their cover up of pedophile here.

I wonder if we'll ever actually get the transcripts and videos to show how shitty they are.

You're right. 👐 You are right. I don't know why I thought she would even step into that room, open hearing or no for any reason other than to just fuck around and stall with her buddies. I'm overall a pretty naive person but regarding that, I was even worse.

About the dirt though, every body seems to think that about whichever person. The whole goal of these parties and activities or whatever is you get wildly powerful and contentious people to all act in each others interest. Because they have the shared secret of game hunting a human being. They won't ever narc on each other because they're basically brothers now

I'm sure they'll be shown at some point in time when it's no longer relevant but they need to change the discourse again. By then they will have all gotten away with it

Okay, where's your proof that Republicans didn't bring up repeatedly Democrats drinking babies blood in a pizzeria's basement and UFO's?

Oh wait you don't because Republicans demanded the deposition be closed despite Clinton asking for it to be open.

That's kinda her point. A public hearing would at least let us confirm some stuff.

Uhhh these are always repetitive, at least for the public ones. Most of the politicians asking questions just want to score quick gotchas and sound bites.

I suspect that the private depositions are typically more down to business, but in this case, Republicans want to obstruct the truth rather than expose it, so of course it's going to be a clown show.

A coworker of mine is soooo excited about Hillary being questioned, he is a big pizza gate fan and somehow this interrogation makes Hillary the actual ringleader of the Epstein files and Trump is somehow cleared of all charges.

I would want it public too so I could appeal to it simply being absurd.
the public has demonstrated time and time again that they cannot accept that people in power can ever do anything wrong.

not only that we simply do not have what is in those documents it might seem absurd to us if we haven't seen it the true horrors that we already know for a fact are in those documents.

Also we know the vast majority of the files have not been released yet and they are protecting powerful people (poorly) she is a powerful person we do not have the information on her we need to judge her.

This could all be a political stunt to make her look bad (I don't think so she doesn't seem all that appalled with Bill she at the very least knows) but we won't get to the bottom of it until both Republicans and Democrats are out and a third party who is not beholden to Epstein and his cohorts are all out, so don't blindly vote Democrat.

Can you please please do us all a favour and go up to your coworker and slap the everloving shit out of them?

heh. Okay, maybe not, but you can lie and tell us you did to make us feel better. :)

But he likely got a blowjob from a future President.

Your assertion is that Lewinsky would 1) run and 2) have a chance? I mean… I'd gladly take a look at her platform - no shame from me. But in this time where so little we hear is surprising, that statement caught me offguard. lol'

Oh........ wait, you're talking about the thing that Trump blew "Bubba". Sorry, forgot about that because it was widely debunked.^[edit: debunked as being Clinton, I mean] lol. I'll leave my first para just so maybe someone else can enjoy it or will have had the same thought. heh.

So much gish to gallop here.

-I'm glad we agree that the hearing should have been public.

-The fact that there are files still not released has no relevance here with your argument that Hillary was lying through her teeth. What we do know and have is that ~3 million files have been released and Hillary Clinton has been mentioned 700+ times and most of it has been with campaign stuff or gossipy crap between other people talking about her. I think the most damning thing release so far is having Epstein at her daughters wedding as a link between her and Epstein.

-Your attempts to both sides things also has no bearing on your claim she was lying through her teeth.

Nothing that you have pointed out supports the fact she was lying through her teeth about the deposition and honestly, I find your attempt to both sides things in this current situation is crap, a red herring to avoid your claim here

And honestly fuck this timeline where I'm having to justifiably defend a Clinton, which I would like to point out my personal opinion of her has no bearing on the veracity of her truthfulness of her account of her closed door testimony.

"What did the five fingers say to the face?"

we have questioned everyone behind closed doors and confirmed its them not us.

I sure hope she reminded everyone what we should really be talking about, and it's the Dow.

I bet they are a real rocket surgeon.

Get some new friends.

It's funny to me that you read some sort of coded message from my comment. I'll also tag @Kirp123@lemmy.world and @Stormy@thelemmy.club as they replied too.

I didn't make a red herring argument, I wasn't glossing over Hilary's arguments, nor was I suggesting Hilary's husband has raped anyone.

After seeing the headline, I read the article and thought it was funny that Bill was referred to as her husband so many times. My comment is a joke about repetition that apparently only landed with a couple people. Oh well, it's all the more funny to me now.

Each of you made good points that I agree with. Cheers.

Ah, gotcha. My bad.

You can't pick your coworkers unless you quit

I'm sorry too. Thanks for explaining

You've taken the bait. Good thing you're not a fish, you'd be somebody's dinner.

Well fuck yeah ma'am they ARE repetitive. They're fucking brain dead right wing drones. Limited vocabulary. Very limited thinking ability. Get ALL their talking notes from "higher up" and MUST NOT DEVIATE else immediate disfranchisement for YOU...

Of course they've got about three questions total, and you can bet two of them have to do with cum stains on a goddam dress.

They simply cannot let shit like that go - even as their own orange face god is shown to have violently raped children .

Fuck's sake boy, get a grip. This is Lord Trum[sky's world now - where the bad guys are in control. And when the bad guys control the law, the bad guys can do whatever the fuck they want. And they've got the secret police to back it up... and if that won't do it he'll send in a couple of brigades to "keep peace". Fuck's sake boy - HE'S A GODDAM DICTATOR. Don't you get it yet? We're fucked.

I agree
