'I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island. I never went to his homes,' Hillary said after her testimony on Thursday.
'It then got, at the end, quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizza-gate, one of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.'
Pizza-gate is a debunked conspiracy theory that claimed a pedophilia ring involving high-ranking Democratic Party officials was operating out of the basement of a Washington, DC pizza parlor.
Bill Clinton will appear before lawmakers at the same venue on Friday - becoming the first former president compelled to testify in a congressional investigation.
The Clintons had initially resisted Republican-led efforts to force them to testify before agreeing under the threat of being held in contempt of Congress.
Prior to the chaos, Hillary blasted Republicans for targeting her while failing to investigate Donald Trump in a fiery opening statement where she provided no defense for her husband.
The former secretary of state said she has 'no information on Epstein's criminal activities and never recalls meetings', then accused lawmakers of covering up for Trump's relationship with Epstein, where he faces 'heinous' accusations from survivors.

“Pizza-gate is a debunked conspiracy theory “
I’m not sure how debunked it is when the Epstein emails contained many odd, often inexplicable references to “pizza.”
“I cannot recall,” Cankles farted out.
The only stupid question is the one you don’t ask.
Previous comments revealed Epstein visited the Clinton WH numerous times and was an invited guest at their daughter’s wedding. There is a pic floating around showing him there. She knew him well.
The “Jerky” references were awful strange.
Did they at least get to THE most important question the world wants to know? Are YOU Hillary R. Clinton the true spawn of Satan?
Let me guess her answer:
“Need you even ask?”
Remember when Ken Starr was investigating?
“I Don’t Recall” over and over LOL
Glad she cleared all those questions up...
I have no idea what was gained by sharing the photo. It looks like someone testifying.
I always get a chuckle about Pizzagate. We visited the Washington Zoo with our kids who live in Silver Spring and afterwards had pizza nearby at Comet Pizza. My recollection is that Q said there was a basement in which child trafficking took place. When the story first got circulated a decade ago, some nut from North Carolina came in a shot up the place, looking to disrupt the activities in the basement. In turns out there is no basement. What is does have is a number of ping-pong tables in the back.
The Hildebeast is completely innocent and “The dog ate the cookies.”
The provided transcript appears to be a raw, timestamped record of Hillary Clinton speaking to reporters after her closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 26, 2026, as part of their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
It includes her opening statement and responses to press questions.Here is a cleaned-up, readable version organized into coherent paragraphs:
Hello everybody. Good evening. Well, I have just finished testifying. I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him.
I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance, but whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond.It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn’t have to be out here characterizing it for you. 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.
We had a bit of a challenge in the beginning because we had agreed upon rules based on the fact it was going to be a closed hearing—at their demand—and one of the members violated that rule, which was very upsetting because it suggested that they might violate other of our agreements. So, we had to cease the hearing for a period of time until we could get assurances that no rules would be broken going forward. And we returned to answer questions repetitively, literally over and over again.
I don’t know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island. I never went to his homes. I never went to his offices. So it’s on the record numerous times. It then got quite unusual toward the end because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate—one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet—that was serving as the basis of a member’s questions to me.
So I can only say that the best exchange that I had came at the very end when, contrary to every other deposition they have taken, no Republican member asked any questions about Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell to anyone else they have deposed. And in fact, the Republican members didn’t even show up for the deposition of Les Wexner.
And when I said that, I had to point out that the only questions that any Republican member asked of any of the people they deposed was of former Attorney General Bill Barr. When Chairman Comer asked him about the allegations in his view about Russia’s involvement in my election in 2016.So at the very end of this hearing, after I made that point, I want to commend Chairman Comer for raising a series of significant questions that I responded to about the nature of the investigation and the areas that I thought should be explored. So I appreciated that.
I want to see the truth come out. So that was a reassuring way to end a very long, repetitive deposition.[Reporter question about her heartbreak for Epstein survivors, Bill Clinton’s mentions in the files/photos, her preparation for his upcoming deposition, and confidence in what he knows:]I am [100% confident]. And I think the chronology of the connection that he had with Epstein ended several years before anything about Epstein’s criminal activities came to light and he was charged—and sadly given a sweetheart deal which, as I said in my statement, had that not happened perhaps his predatory behavior could have been stopped earlier.
But I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people who had contact with him before his criminal plea in ‘08 were like most people. They did not know what he was doing. And I think that is exactly what my husband will testify to tomorrow.[Reporter question: Do you believe this was a fair hearing, and do you still want to testify publicly?]Well, I’m not going to do it again. You know, they had a chance to do it in public and I wish they had done it in public and I think they’re making the wrong decision avoiding doing it in public.
I thought it was very repetitive. I thought that they asked literally the same questions over and over again which didn’t seem to me to be very productive. And then as I said toward the end, you know, there were other questions that were totally off subject.
So if they are going to fulfill their responsibilities to literally investigate the investigations—which is what they originally said was the scope of their work—I think they could have spent the day more productively.
[Reporter question: Why was Maxwell at Chelsea’s wedding?]She’d already been mentioned in a civil lawsuit by Virginia [Giuffre]. She came as the plus one, the guest of someone who was invited.
[Reporter question about Bill Clinton in the hot tub/swimming and what message it sends:]I don’t know when the video will be out. I don’t know when the transcript will be out. We’ve asked that they be out as quickly as possible and then you can see... Madam Secretary was in the hot tub.
(Note: The transcript cuts off abruptly at the end, and some reporter questions are implied or paraphrased from context. This cleaned version preserves the original spoken content while removing timestamps, filler words like “uh,” and repetitions for better readability.)

I voted in 2024 for obliteration and draining.
Seditious conspirator Hillary Clinton’s dirt nap is implied with that.
Hillary Clinton and her team did request that the proceedings be held publicly rather than behind closed doors, but the Republican-led House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, denied that request and proceeded with a closed-door format.

Clinton explicitly referenced this denial in her post-deposition remarks to reporters, expressing disappointment and stating that a public hearing would have allowed the public to observe directly.

While Comer has left open the possibility of future public hearings after initial closed sessions, >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> >>>> >>>>> ***** the specific request for this deposition to be public was rejected, aligning with the committee’s standard practice for such interviews. *****

How does she know it’s “vile” if it’s not a thing?
“Reporter question about Bill Clinton in the hot tub/swimming and what message it sends:]I don’t know when the video will be out. I don’t know when the transcript will be out. We’ve asked that they be out as quickly as possible and then you can see... Madam Secretary was in the hot tub.”
Read the last sentence...where did that statement come from?
SHE IS ON A FLIGHT LOG TO HIS ISLAND-—TOO DRUNK TO REMEMBER??????
“Are YOU Hillary R. Clinton the true spawn of Satan?”
Not true, but she testified and admitted that she has eaten pepperoni pizza along with Satan, Muhammed, Tony Podesta, all at the same table at Comet Ping Pong, at a Spirit Cooking event.

Denying it doesn’t debunk it.
