Hillary Clinton is testifying as part of the House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein (Today!)

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is testifying before U.S. House lawmakers in New York on Thursday as part of a congressional investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, starting off two days of depositions that will also include former President Bill Clinton.

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-forth between 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.

President Donald Trump, a Republican who has expressed regret that the Clintons are being forced to testify, bowed last year to pressure to release case files on Epstein, who killed himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. The Clintons, too, agreed to testify after their offers of sworn statements were rebuffed by the Oversight panel and its chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threatened criminal contempt of Congress charges against them.

“We have a very clear record that we've been willing to talk about,” Hillary Clinton said in an interview with the BBC earlier this month. She added that her husband had flown with Epstein for charitable trips and that she did not recall meeting Epstein but had interacted with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend and confidant, at conferences hosted by the Clinton Foundation.

“We are more than happy to say what we know, which is very limited and totally unrelated to their behavior or their crimes, and we want to do it in public,” Hillary Clinton said.

"Bill Clinton, however, has emerged as a top target for Republicans amid the political struggle over who receives the most scrutiny for their ties to Epstein. Several photos of the former president were included in the first tranche of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice in January, including a number of him with women whose faces were redacted. Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein."

“Dog & Pony Show”

It’s not even that.

Closed door meeting and the Clinton’s made Capitol Hill come to them in NY.

But you are correct.....Nothing will come of it.

The Clintons agreed to testify after their offers of sworn statements were rebuffed by the Oversight panel. Chairman, Rep. James Comer, threatened criminal contempt of Congress charges against them.

Hillary Clinton says her husband had flown with Epstein for “charitable trips” and that she did not recall meeting Epstein. Says she interacted with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s confidant, whose Father was a Mossad asset, at conferences hosted by the “charitable” Clinton Foundation.


Wiki-—Epstein’s Clinton White House contacts and early ties

Epstein’s interactions with Clinton can be traced to the early 1990s. After donating $1,000 to Bill Clinton’s presidential election campaign, in 1991, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association, in 1993, and accompanied by Maxwell, he attended a donors’ reception hosted by President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton.

Around the same period, visitor logs indicate Epstein paid several visits to the White House to meet with Mark Middleton, a Clinton aide and assistant to the White House chief of staff, in 1993–1995. Middleton, a friend of Clinton’s from Arkansas, was, later, identified as having facilitated Epstein’s White House access, in at least three instances.

While Clinton was president, Epstein visited the White House, at least 17 times, between 1993 and 1995. By 1995, Epstein was circulating in Clinton’s social orbit: that year, he and Maxwell attended a small fundraising dinner at the Palm Beach home of billionaire Ron Perelman, which Clinton also attended.

In April 1995, businesswoman Lynn Forester (later Lynn Forester de Rothschild), a Clinton supporter, wrote a personal letter to the President mentioning that she had used her “fifteen seconds of access” to discuss “Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization” with him, suggesting Clinton was acquainted with Epstein’s financial acumen. Clinton’s later schedules and archives confirm that Epstein and Maxwell were received, as part of at least one White House donor event in 1993, though the exact nature of their conversations with Clinton remains unclear.

Convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was a prolific donor to various Democratic campaigns and party committees over the past couple decades.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of Epstein’s contributions was then-Senate hopeful Hillary Clinton, who received $20,000 from him in 1999 through her joint fundraising committee with the Democratic Party, according to Federal Election Commission filings. Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign also received $1,000 from Epstein in 1992.

The Clintons were among Epstein’s vast network of high-profile rich and famous people who helped the former Wall Street insider turned private wealth manager rise to prominence in the early 2000s.

I used to listen to the conservative commentator George Putnam 30 years ago on the radio. He would often say, “The Clintons will always be with us.”
