In reply to the discussion: @BillClinton I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running [View all]Bluetus
(2,510 posts)16. No, we need the spectacle of a big ass camera crew
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."
