she agreed to do this behind closed doors. WTF.

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

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

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

Somebody has to take further risk.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

One of them is crazy.

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

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.

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.

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

It is simple. Like Boebert.

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

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.

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