@BillClinton I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running

If it were me, I would demand my own camera person and tape. The repugs can have their own bt II would want mine ALSO!! --as I would not trust them at all.

I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.

I think they have a month to practice with their own lawyers, with each other and with their
'story-straightening'.
I also would think they're pissed off about this, and I think Comer and his idiots are gonna rue this decision for the rest of their lives.

And I think even Trump suspects that fucking with them this way, is a bridge too far and it's going to be bad.

She was magnificent. Honestly. I felt a need to watch as a kind of support. She never lost her cool, never, and they were brutal. Bastards, all.

They should NOT testify unless it is live on tv. Televised live and taped.

Dems should start demanding this now. World leaders should demand too. Governors ANF mayors should demand.

People should take to the streets.

Just my opinion folks.

This is not about winning a legal argument. This must be about willing the optics war.

Notify all the national media that Clinton is coming to testify under oath, He is bringing his own camera crew and will turn ALL of that footage over to all the national media.

The media will all show up because they love a confrontation. Comer will not allow the Clinton crew in, and Clinton will then walk out in front of the national media cameras to explain what just happened:

"The American people deserve a full, transparent accounting of this Trump/Epstein scandal. Hillary and I have both agreed to testify under oath and answer all questions to the best of our ability. All that we ask is that the media and the public be able to see his testimony and make their own judgments. As you can see, Chairman Comer is refusing to allow the public to hear our testimony, so we are not going to testify. Hillary and I will make ourselves available to the media for interviews where we will answer any pertinent questions to the best of our ability. But it would be better to do this under oath in front of the Committee and the American people.

"Let me be clear. this Trump/Epstein affair is a major national security issue. As we have already seen, President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were entangled with some of the richest and most powerful interests all over the world. There is certainly the appearance that extortion was at the heart of this decades-long operation, and that might have included foreign interests extorting our political leaders to work against the interests of the American people. We must not allow this cover-up to continue. Hillary and I are prepared to do our part to help expose the depth of this operation and the risk it continues to pose to the security and future of our nation."

If they are the only ones with recording devices they can cherry pick and edit it make it support their agenda. There definitely needs to be a free 3rd party camera and operator who can actually document the actual proceedings. I had a local newsstation ask for an interview from our Local Union while on strike against a mid-sized utility company. We granted them an interview in our office. They interviewed us for 20 minutes cut it down and edited it to highlight phrases that painted us in a bad light in order to appeal to the utility.

Someone who wants to outwit Bill Clinton will endure a brutal education.

He should demand bodycams on Republicanazi Congress critters.

He will publicly expose many more Epstein confidential Republican friends than MAGAts will find Bill has not already disclosed.

Bill is always entertaining for the whole series and will steal the show. Trump is an amateur and his minions are totally hapless.

Pop your popcorn folks, this is worth binge-watching.

They want to play games with Clinton and he will prove that he is far and away smarter than them. And he wasn't called "Slick Willie" for nothing.
