Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fired off some strong-worded social media posts on Thursday, calling for her testimony before the House Oversight Committee to be public.

The former first lady and former President Bill Clinton agreed to testify later this month as part of the committee's investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The agreement comes just days before a potential vote to hold the Clintons in contempt for initially refusing to appear before the committee.

However, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday that they had been engaged with the committee in "good faith," but the goalposts kept moving in what she called "an exercise in distraction." "We told them what we know, under oath," Hillary Clinton stated on X. "They ignored all of it."

Clinton challenged Chairman James Comer to allow the country to watch their testimony live. "Let’s stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public," Hillary Clinton stated. "You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there."

For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath.

They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.

1. Under oath? Didn't know that

[ScratchCat]

8. That's news to me and everybody else I guess

When is she claiming they were "under oath" in front of the committee? That's an odd claim because it doesn't appear to be true. I know they sent the committee a statement, but they obviously haven't sat under oath in front of the committee.

13. They provided afadavits to the committee which are under oath.

Clintons say Comer is 'lying with impunity' about Epstein inquiry, release written declarations
On Wednesday -- in a press release from the office of the former president -- the Clintons contended they have gone "above and beyond" what others have been asked to do by the committee, providing what they describe as "comprehensive" sworn statements listing "everything they have to offer" on the topic of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

"You probably don't know this because James Comer doesn't want you to," the statement says. "President and Secretary Clinton swore to the truth under penalty of perjury. James Comer hasn't told you that and has instead resorted to lying in every appearance he's made this week."

The ex-president's office also released the written declarations -- dated Jan. 13 from each of the Clintons -- which they say were provided to the Oversight Committee.

The declarations -- containing seven bullet-pointed paragraphs each -- end with this: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct."

Everybody else who was subpoenaed did the same - provided sworn statements- but none as detailed as the Clintons. Nobody else was threatened with contempt charges. That's because this was clearly politically motivated from the start. Comer is a lying pile of shit.

14. Thank you.

33. Clintons/Comer

I hope and bet she tears Comer apart! The right has villified the Clintons ever since they came into politics with single payer heatlh care plans. The right has been relentless with their attacks!! It's way past time for it to end!

[Emile]

2. I expect it to be televised. Unless republicans are

truly playing partisan politics with something this serious.

[pnwmom]

5. It should be, but the R's want it in secret. That way they can frame it anyway they want. nt

[ificandream]

29. They are and it won't be.

They won't let themselves be embarrassed in front of the country unless ..... only Fox televises it and then spews all the crap they want to the sheep.

[Wednesdays]

3. Yes! Make it national TV

The Clintons and Trumps were friends back in the day. Therefore, the Clintons probably know where some of the bodies are buried.
This could get interesting.

[C Moon]

38. Someone was saying "dig up trump golf course in Palos Verdes."

I guess there are rumors of people buried there.

[delisen]

4. Remember Clinton had to be better than Comer to get as far as she has.

…and Jasmine Crockett had to be multiples better than Comer

[littlemissmartypants]

6. I'm still with her.

[hamsterjill]

15. Thank you!!!

I am still with her, as well. She's been right about everything.

[littlemissmartypants]

22. My pleasure, hamsterjill. Some day we will have our Feminist Justice! (And I don't mean a judge.)❤️

23. ding. i got her back

[Beacool]

30. I'll always be with her.

It was one of life's greatest disappointments that she never became president.

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Mine too, Beacool. I was physically ill for a week afterwards. I knew what was coming.

I'm so glad we have the accomplishment of the March and its memories to find some comfort in.

[Mark.b2]

34. That night will always go down as one of the worst in my life...

I was stunned for days. The thought that she could lose was never even something I even thought about. It was inconceivable.

2024 was nowhere near as devestating. I understood that even a perfect candidate as good as Clinton didn’t guarantee a win. And when you add the chaos of belatedly abandoning Biden and giving Harris a very short runway, I was resigned early on.

2024 was lost when it took until Nov, 2022 to appoint a Special Prosecutor. Smith just ran out of time. Trump was always going to frustrate the process with numerous appeals and trying to lure SCOTUS into the mix. Six more months could have done wonders for Smith’s endeavor to keep Trump out of office again.

2024 was bad; 2016 was stratospherically catostrophic.

[Beacool]

47. I've never been so disappointed in my fellow Americans.

I couldn't believe that they had voted for an intellectual wasteland like Trump. A man who's also a sorry excuse of a human being, a racist bigoted and misogynist bully. A malignant narcissist, grifter and conman. Basically, an all around POS. To top it all, 77M morons put him in the WH again.

[Mark.b2]

48. And to think, here we are ten years later...

And he is still “on the stage.” I sometimes wish he would have just won again in 2020 so we could be done with him. No one expected him to Grover Cleveland us by taking four years off and returning for a second term!

As for him winning 77 M votes, I’ll never believe it. If Barack Obama topped out at 69.5 M votes, there’s no way in hell Trump got 77 M. I think some red states “found” votes. Winning the popular vote was a huge vanity project for him.

Anyway, this too shall pass!

7. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Jim Jordan and others completely ignored Congressional subpoenas with no repercussions. I am wondering why the Clintons feel obliged to do so unless it has to do with the repigs controlling Congress. . . .

[littlemissmartypants]

10. They are setting up the enemy. It's strategic. ...

Them testifying sets precedent for Don, VD & others to be called when we win the majority back.

Hope that helps. ❤️

[BigDemVoter]

25. Thank you!!

[FakeNoose]

9. Both Bill and Hillary will ace this ... they are both smart lawyers and they've got nothing to hide

Also it sets the precedent for "former presidents and government leaders" being called to testify under oath.

[debsy]

11. All foreign meddling considered, she should have been president in 2016.

Furthermore, no one will ever convince me that dirtbag Donnie dumpster really won the election without oligarchic and foreign interference in 2024 either. I’m convinced we have been deprived of two female presidents (not to mention Al Gore) by a bunch of cheating pedophiles.

[barbtries]

12. i agree. nt

[SergeStorms]

16. Amen, debsy.

Testify!

[Talitha]

20. That's it in a nutshell.

How different this country would be, if only.

[Joinfortmill]

18. They don't want a repeat of the Benghazi Hearings.

SHE WAS MAGNIFICENT. I watched the whole damn thing. I wish they would leave this woman alone. Trump's past and present torment of her gives us a clear vision of who he really is.

As for Bill, he can take care of himself. I doubt there's a 'there' there, but if there is, so be it. We'll know soon.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. 11 hours

Watched on CSPAN!

Republicans Fail To Take Down Hillary Clinton After 11-Hour Benghazi Hearing

...................................................

This is not her first rodeo. She has been there, done that.

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. She was magnificent

It was a master class in how to own the Republicans.

[sheshe2]

27. Hell, yes, she was.

Cool. Calm. Collected. Articulate. Bright.

Try as they might they did not break her, not even close.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. Which is why the party of pedophiles and their supporters despise her.

You go, Hillary!

[AllaN01Bear]

24. make it public.

[mcar]

28. "I want a woman president. Just not that woman"

I'll never forget some on the left saying that.

This is what we could have had, folks.

[sheshe2]

40. Democrats, yes Democrats...

Kicked both Hillary and Kamala to the curb.

I am not saying peeps here did that, however a large portion of our party just said no or just stayed at home.

Our boots are made for walking, and I have no clue why some members of our party want to hobble us. We are strong and we are invincible just give us the damn chance to roar.

[twodogsbarking]

31. The Clintons are smart and experienced. Should be interesting.

[Sneederbunk]

35. Comer is dumb and incompetent. Should be interesting.

[twodogsbarking]

42. Like bringing a plastic knife to a double-barreled shotgun fight.

[Bluetus]

36. Why is Hillary subpoenaed at all?

Was there any communication between Hillary and any of the Trump/Epstein principals anywhere in the Epstein files?

I think she might have been "referenced", but that doesn't mean anything. If she never had any communications, then what is there to ask her?

[sheshe2]

41. Good question.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

44. That look says it all!

[The Roux Comes First]

37. I Would Be Thrilled to Have This Be Full-on Public

But "transparency," isn't that a Bad Word?

[C Moon]

39. If congress won't make it public, they should just make it public on their own.

[Catherine Vincent]

45. Melania spent more time with Epstein

So I'm not sure why they need a deposition from HRC. Melania's ties with Epstein is never mentioned by the media. Why?

[azureblue]

46. I have a feeling

She will roast Comer. She now has an opportunity to retaliate against the decades long GOP campaign to take down the Clintons - one that failed at every turn except for the BJ incident. So no doubt Comer will bring this up in an attempt to rattle her.

But, as shown, she already provided everything under oath, so she is coming is ready to make heads roll, and with an agenda of her own. She is in a position to expose Pedo Don nad the GOPers who protect him.. This will be grand..

BTW, for those that forgot about the BJ incidents:
Monica approached Bill and offered a BJ. That much is not in question. But one of her so called friends betrayed her, and the GOP finally thought they had something to bring down Clinton with. So they got him under oath, and asked him if he had sex with Monica.. At that time, the definition of sex was P in V, NOT oral, so Bill answered truthfully, "no". This was the incident where the GOP was splitting hairs, while Bill was seeking a legal definition of the word sex. The GOP rejoiced - they thought that had him, until they looked up the legal definition and saw it did not include a BJ. So they simply changed the definition after the fact, and now had a charge of perjury.
