So, Hillary will be on The Hill tomorrow. Anyone else think this will be like watching the mice interrogate the cat?

I think she's gonna come loaded for bear, and isn't gonna give a single fuck what it 'looks like'; I think she's pissed and isn't leaving that room without heads in hand.

It's Comers turn to hang the bell on Dragon, if anyone else is old enough to clock that reference.

Thoughts, or do y'all think I'm crazy lol?

Of a woman that is not suspected of pedophilia and mentioned 30000 to one million times in the files threatened with jail for not coming to Congress to talk about Epstein, but the sitting fucking president is getting parts of the files which he is in, removed, deleted and hidden from Congress.

Holy shit man. Why the fuck are they talking to Hillary Clinton? Why won't they listen to the women Trump and Epstein abused? She will channel that anger. I'm pretty certain of that.

She has stated the would rather do this in an open hearing, but can you blame them for their cowards decision?
I wouldn't want that asskicking made public, either; I think she's gonna drop one hell of a hammer on them.

She will answer question after question with intelligent, relevant answers. She is a lawyer by training and that will again show to her benefit.

What I suspect will happen based on the Republicans involved is: Each Republican prefacing a yes/no question with three minutes of filibuster designed to make the expected answer look damning. (ie 3 minutes describing Maxwell's crimes in detail followed by a question of whether they ever invited her to anything, knowing she went to Chelsea's wedding) They will then limit her response by reclaiming their time.)

We need to be realistic. No news coming out of this closed session is good meaning their gotchas failed. The format is not a fair playing field or designed for real fact finding. The Republican goal will be to get even one short sound bite that sounds bad for the Clintons.

I hope that both will speak to whatever trusted media is left after the fact unless the Republicans succeed in getting nothing.

The Republicans are doing this knowing that they can even use the fact the Clintons spoke behind closed doors on what the Republicans will characterize repeatedly as their involvement with Epstein and Maxwell. This is why they fought the subpoena which was historically different than anything asked of past Presidents.
