Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling for her upcoming testimony before the House Oversight Committee to be made public in a congressional probe of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a pair of social media posts on Feb. 5, the former first lady and Democratic presidential candidate railed against the committee and Republican lawmakers whom she said had "ignored" previous testimony by her and former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton said that they had engaged with the committee in "good faith," but the goalposts kept moving in what she called "an exercise in distraction."

I hate her so much but do indeed make it public. Agreeing with her in any capacity makes me feel like I need a shower.

Makes me think some kind of backroom deal was made. Trump was saying yesterday he liked Bill Clinton, and today Hillary is saying this. Feels too planned. But I’m all for it being broadcast. Can we have immediate punishments broadcast as well?

Sure. That public wrist-slapping will teach 'em and all around them!

“Yeah I was there, but I don’t remember what I was up to, but I do remember Donald being there and he was….” Broadcast it all

The game theory of that situation is obvious. Trump would then say basically the same thing in reversr, and he's far more powerful than the Clintons right now, which likely ends up with them in jail and Trump scot-free
They aren't going to implicate anyone. It's the only logical, selfish, choice

She's calling for public because she knows it will never happen.

It's funny how these guys are only like this when their enemies are in charge.

I hope it's not public. I hope the testimony is sealed in a vault for all eternity.
No longer having to listen to hillary was like the only good consequence of 2016. Please don't take that away, please don't give her a public soapbox.
We shouldn't have to suffer through both fascism AND hillary clinton pretending to have ideals.

Given that we've had Trump's nauseating voice and world-destroying content ever since, that was the stupidest trade-off since... Pretty much every one of his "deals."

Dumbest take of the day. But then again, it's only five o'clock here.

You could just... not listen to it?

We traded “no lady president” for “dictator”
