WASHINGTON (AP) For some of their conservative critics, this is the scandal that could finally topple them. Their resistance to testifying proved futile. And now, staring down another epic fight, they're harnessing their considerable political skills to try and turn the table on their accusers.
For Bill and Hillary Clinton, the 1990s are back.
The Clintons are slated to testify Thursday and Friday in a House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, part of a deal with Republicans after it became clear that Congress with the help of some Democrats was on track to hold them in contempt if they refused to cooperate. For the battle-hardened couple, it amounts to one more Washington brawl. And like so many of the battles that came before, this one is another mix of questionable judgment, sexual impropriety, money and power.
During his 1992 campaign, Bill Clinton pitched his candidacy as two for the price of one, previewing a presidential marriage like none that had come before, with a spouse whose professional credentials rivaled his. In the years since, that partnership helped the Clintons weather repeated scandals, including those so personal that many other relationships would have shattered. When his political career was ending, hers was ascending when she was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York, then served as secretary of state before becoming the Democratic nominee for president in 2016.

MAGAs have to be some of the stupidest people alive. Trump and Epstein were long time friends but these idiots think they can smear the Clintons with him.
Please proceed shitheads.

(5,164 posts)One stepped away 25 years ago, the other about 10. Super relevant.
The good news: I cant wait for Dems to drag Melania to testify about her and Donalds ties to Epstein one day.

(14,483 posts)Trump wants a Clinton, preferably Hillary, in jail so very bad, and Bondi has nothing to work with. Hence this fishing expedition.

(89 posts)I used to read him almost every day as he was a beacon of sanity during the Bush years. He would have had no mercy on this present group of clowns. He died way too early, he would have been very successful in the podcast world. You know he would have been checking to see if the lying nazi whore was involved with all this Epstein scandal.
BC would be swinging that hammer for sure. He would be hammering as he used to say The religiously insane maga crowd. Ha, Ha.
