What did the Republican Hearing on Epstein aim to achieve?
Republican hearings in the House of Representatives blew up in their faces as Democrats turned the tables. Specifically, Republicans wanted to hold a hearing where they were going to find former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress regarding not showing up for an under oath deposition regarding the Epstein file. So rather than turning over the Epstein files, the MAGA Republicans want to harass former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Let me just be very clear about my position here. i want there to be full transparency but obviously this is a ruse to try to protect donald trump and not produce the epstein files by making this about bill clinton and hillary clinton ultimately i want to see all witnesses show up but you know that this is a deflect and distract attempt
to try to cover up for donald trump and donald trump's relationship with jeffrey epstein and what's actually in the files so let me talk to you about what went down as democrats turned the table where mega republicans were trying to hold the clintons in contempt you have democratic congress member james walkinshaw from virginia point out that the mega republicans are covering up the child sex trafficking ring here here play this clip let's be honest about the transparency that Attorney General Bondi has provided. This is DOJ Epstein data set number four. It's number four.
Data set number four. This is part of the 1% that folks have been talking about. Then you have Democratic Congresswoman Stansbury point out that what her constituents want to know is what must be so bad in those Epstein files that Donald Trump's invading Venezuela and threatening Greenland in order to cover up whatever the hell's in those files. Play this clip.
And the question that I got over and over again from my constituents is what is in those files that is so bad that President Trump is invading Venezuela, threatening our NATO allies, and sending thousands of armed paramilitary troops onto our streets to create violence and chaos in American cities. That is what the American people are actually asking us.
Then you have Democratic Congresswoman Ansari points out that Pam Bondi, the attorney general, should be held in contempt. That what really this should be about is holding Bondi in contempt for violating the Epstein Transparency Act, which the MAGA Republicans refuse to do. Just think about that. They want to go after Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, while it is obvious that Pam Bondi did not... follow the Epstein Transparency Act. And Ansari points it out. Ansari's like, 1% of the documents have been produced. Stop applauding Pam Bondi and the DOJ. And then James Comer's like, well, we're doing our best. We're doing our best. No, they claim they've been doing this since February. And now it is January, almost February, almost a full year.
They say they have a thousand lawyers working on it. These documents should be produced. Play this clip of Democratic Congresswoman Ansari. Play this clip.
Chairman, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has violated the subpoena issued by this committee. We should be holding her in contempt to remain fair and to remain transparent. And so I ask that you do that if you really, truly want to be fair and care about the justice for the victims here.
May I respond? We have been very clear. We expect those documents. She has complied.
How did Democrats expose the GOP's cover-up during the hearing?
She's turned over documents in the beginning. In the beginning, you all complained and said the first document dropped. didn't have enough redactions, and the second document dump had too many redactions. So they're trying to get this, and I believe that we will get those documents very soon. I have been assured we're going to get those documents very soon.
I hear you, but with all due respect, given everything that she herself stated in February of last year, her own statements in front of the entirety of the American public saying, we have the documents. They are ready to go. The sub, the subpoena from this committee was issued in July.
