[riversedge]

Does anyone know if the Clinton team has a camera/tape in the hearing room?? Or if only the Repugs have the camera??





BREAKING: Hillary Clinton has just asked for the press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition, since Lauren Boebert is already leaking images to Benny Johnson.

Republicans have REFUSED to allow this though....

Because they don't want the public to see how much this is backfiring on them.

I can't wait until 2027 when Democrats subpoena Trump.

1. I have no idea why the hell

she agreed to do this behind closed doors. WTF.

[Johonny]

2. She didnt want to goto jail

They were threatening Jail time, so they negotiate to this.

[Cirsium]

3. Going to jail

Someone has to. Thousands already are. One visible person going to jail could be a game changer. And, you don't negotiate with terrorists.

[newdeal2]

6. I don't think it should be her, for this

They were more defiant but Democrats in the house did not have their backs, so here we are. Why should they take further risk?

[Cirsium]

7. Somebody has to

Somebody has to take further risk.

23. Regarding the Dems not backing her - If they opposed her appearance, then Repukes would have a basis on which

to refuse making Orange Anus appear when he leaves office.



The fallacy, Anal Fistula ain't likely to be alive before his term of office ends.

8. Oh stop it, she is almost 80 years old. She has given a life of public service and gotten shit on for it the whole time.

She doesn't owe you or anyone else the role of "being a game changer". You're being absurd.

[Cirsium]

10. Don't be ridiculous

I am not suggesting the Secretary Clinton go to jail ffs. I said someone has to. I was addressing the another post - she agreed to a closed hearing because the alternative was going to jail so they negotiated. My disagreement is not with Clinton, it is with the another poster.

Do we really think that the Trump administration can be trusted? They agreed to not arrest her? So they won't? I said you can't negotiate with terrorists.

I don't know what Clinton's thinking was. But the idea that we should compromise with MAGA under the threat of being arrested...doesn't that idea bother you, too?

[radical noodle]

14. For one thing

I think they weighed the options and decided not testifying would be used by the GOP to pretend that it implied guilt. Having the Clintons look guilty at this point in time would not be best for the country, or for Democrats. It would have distracted from trump's possible guilty associations with Epstein.

[Cirsium]

15. No good option

I agree. But at some point we all have to stop worrying about the reactions from the GOP. They will attack (and have attacked) Secretary Clinton no matter what she does.

[FascismIsDeath]

16. You most certainly made it sound like she should've bit the bullet and went to jail for contempt.

Other Poster: "She didnt want to goto jail"

You: "Someone has to. Thousands already are. One visible person going to jail could be a game changer. And, you don't negotiate with terrorists."

Other Poster: "I don't think it should be her, for this"

You: "Somebody has to. Somebody has to take further risk."

You never once in that exchange took the opportunity to clarify that you aren't suggesting she should. If myself or anyone else took it that you were suggesting that maybe she should, that is your fault for not doing a good job of communicating your intended message.

And now that you've been called on your absurdity, you are backtracking and changing the argument to "but the Trump admin will just arrest her".

"Do we really think that the Trump administration can be trusted? They agreed to not arrest her? So they won't? I said you can't negotiate with terrorists."

The courts will defend her from arrest for contempt of Congress if she doesn't commit contempt of Congress. We've already seen the courts stick up for Mark Kelly and the other lawmakers that said not to follow illegal orders. We've seen the courts stick up for at least some of the people that have been unlawfully targeted by ICE. They stuck up for Comey, etc. The courts suck but they don't suck that bad.

She didn't "negotiate" with anyone. She showed up in accordance with THE LAW. That isn't a "compromise".

Someone is definitely being ridiculous here and its definitely not me.

18. Video of Comer, Jordan, and Biggs in closed door discussions.

One of them is crazy.

[Cirsium]

19. Maybe

Is it clear now? I am not attacking Secretary Clinton.

[MerryBlooms]

22. Your first response @ 1:53, totally, sounded like Hillary was the one to take jail for the team! Lol

I can see how everyone who read that response, took it just the way you typed it. But, I'm with the folks that took that initial response and then, appears to double down... Yeah, I can see how it went off the rails, total train wreck.

[LiberalArkie]

24. Anyone remember the American hero Susan McDougal?

Susan Carol Henley McDougal became famous in the 1990s for refusing to testify before Kenneth Starr and the Office of Independent Counsel (OIC) grand jury held in Little Rock (Pulaski County) during the Whitewater scandal investigation. She was imprisoned for almost two years, before ultimately being found not guilty and released.

[MustLoveBeagles]

4. Was this a deliberate distraction on Boebert 's part

Did someone else on the committee put her up to this? Or did she just promise a scoop to the RWNJ?

[mr715]

5. She's just dumb.

It is simple. Like Boebert.

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. There's that too

[poli-junkie]

9. Boebert's trying to get back into

Tramp’s favor after voting for the Epstein Files Release law.

[twodogsbarking]

12. You have to be very smart to outsmart Hillary. Next contestant, come on down.

[calimary]

17. There's no one. Either smart enough or naive enough.

Or just plain dumbfuck.

Nobody in the opposition is an intellectual OR experienced match for her. And one by one they fail because they just don’t understand that they are single ants. And she is Mount Rushmore.

[GiqueCee]

13. An ethical Republican...

... is like a unicorn. Neither one exists in reality.

[AllaN01Bear]

20. criingeworthy. yea.

[AllaN01Bear]

21. so, laser breath messed up by violating the prior agreed to rule. typecal.
