Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are probably being looked at in a different light after this week Jeffrey Epstein Depositions. The House Oversight Committee released full videos of the depositions on social media. Understandably, tons of people out there are wondering just how you could even get wrapped up in such despicable circumstances. From the files that have been released so far, both Republicans and Democrats have been implicated in business relationships and worse with the notorious pedophile.
Worse yet, here in America, few people have faced any sort of repercussions for their associations with Epstein. That fact has encouraged a large set of eyeballs on anything associated with the ongoing investigation into the sex trafficking ring and other crimes. The New York Times reported on the scene and shared their thoughts about some of the revelations during the deposition. Not that you need any of that to form your own opinion, so many social media circles already have.
Even without other notable entries in the files not coming forward to address their part in these associations, this was still a harsh day in the light for the Clintons as a family. Hillary said that she had never met Epstein before. But, there’s no denying those images in black and white of the former president in various compromising positions.
Bill Clinton tries to take charge of the facts
Secretary Clinton was fairly hostile to the inane questioning she faced on during the committee. But for the former president, things get a little bit more authority. He categorized Epstein as “an information-hungry person.” A quality that should make any grown person at least ponder what kind of blackmail possibility might be lurking in all this convenience. To say nothing of the terrifying details in every single corner of those files that have been released.
“I thought we had an understanding about the airplane,” Clinton told the committee. “That he would let me use the airplane to set up my AIDS programs around the world if I agreed to talk to him for an hour about economics and politics on every long leg. I kept my word, and he seemed to honor his.”
In later testimony, Clinton would clarify that he discovered Epstein did not share some of those humanitarian gains. A massive understatement that would be a talking point if not for the dire subject matter at hand in the files and in this committee gathering. Republican members of the House Oversight Committee have been the idea of calling President Donald Trump into a hearing for questioning. Every single corner of the establishment seems to be on thin ice as the wrong revelation could send the entire political order of the United States into further chaos.
Epstein’s ties to the powerful
Throughout the entire process, both Clintons have denied any wrongdoing with miners Hilary’s case seems to make more sense than her husband’s in this regard. But the former president did cop two having a larger business relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. She was the most notorious of Epstein’s handlers. Maxwell has since been moved to a different arrangement after some sort of contact with the Trump administration.
“You know, we had been friendly with Ghislaine,” Clinton admitted. “I felt sad. But it had — it was terrible, what she did, and she has to be punished.”
While all over the world, other political leaders, influential people and dignitaries have swift consequences for being mentioned in the Epstein files, America sits waiting. And it might be waiting for a while. The political elite and billionaire class have no interest in rolling over this particular log to see the festering undergrowth at the core of these issues. All these court details make for tabloid fodder, but they don’t bring justice for the victims.
