  1. MAGA has been fed so many BS lies and conspiracies that the republicans just lump it all together. Meanwhile Trump is dictating the approach.

  2. 4 of the top 5 posts on this sub right now are paywalled daily beast articles with clickbaity headlines, posted by daily beast alts. This is getting ridiculous.

    By testifying when she didn’t even know Epstein, she exposes and raises the bar for all those who DID know Epstein, like Trump and Melania.

  4. From the article:

    CNN’s resident MAGA panelist is at a loss about why Republicans demanded Hillary Clinton testify about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

    Scott Jennings appeared on *NewsNight with Abby Phillip* on Thursday and admitted that he didn’t see the benefit of deposing Clinton.

    She is not named in the files, had previously expressed concern that her deposition would be politicized, and after her testimony said, “I don’t know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein.”

    Hillary Clinton’s appearance quickly turned into a bloodbath when she used her opening statement to turn the gun on the Republican Party and take aim at the Trump administration.

    “If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files,” she said.

    She also opened fire on Trump-friendly Committee Chair James Comer, saying, “You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.”

  5. That’s why Boebert did the picture thing: because Hillary was owning the hearing and they needed it throw some sort of wrench into it.

  6. Scott Jennings is such a terrible person. There is NOTHING he will not say to whitewash Trump’s trail of feces.

  7. If I had a nickel every time the GOP regretted calling on Hillary Clinton to testify I’d have two nickels. Which is not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

  8. Republicans just wanted to put out pictures of Hillary being “grilled” so they can meme them out over the months up to the midterms while the idiots like Benny Johnson make up historically false stories about it because they know the public has already moved on and gotten foggy brained about it.

  9. Lol. These people are as dumb as shit. They thought that by putting Hillary and Bill’s name in the press associated with Epstein, that they could revive the Pizzagate BS.

    They deposed Hillary to see what she knew about UFOs. That was their serious question. Republicans don’t care about the Epstein files, and they knew all about Pizza gate because that was their conspiracy theory.

    I can’t believe these people forgot what a stone cold, established, experienced, *intelligent* political figure she is. With a gigantic chip on her shoulder.

  12. In a normal world or alternate universe would she who released the photos from the closed door session be in some type of trouble?

    There were less hacks in Congress when she handled her way through the Benghazi hearings, what made these theatre dorks think they could stand toe to toe with one of the brightest minds in the legal/political world?

  14. Hillary Clinton is a blade they should not play with. She can play the game with the best of them.

  15. This is the stupidity and the callousness of the GOP. Do you really think a person that y’all MFs hounded for years wouldn’t take the first opportunity to flambé your entire party in public?

  16. She smoked them during the Benghazi hearings. I know it’s been a moment, but the scars should still be visible. I know bill has history with Epstein, but trump’s history is way more recent him and his third wife. I don’t think this is going to pan out the way they think it is. I’m pretty sure that bill and trump probably crossed paths with Epstein.

  17. Look I know Daily Beast is known for their inflammatory headlines and dumbed-down reporting, but this really has gone too far. Calling Scott Jennings – a man whose name and face I’ve completely forgotten right now as I type this sentence – a star is crazy.

    “let’s bring her in because she’s part of our false narrative that the Democrats are the ones who did this! Not the guy who keeps covering it all up!”

  19. I’m a little out of the loop. Can someone ELI5 me regarding this whole thing with Hilary’s deposition and why it’s a fumble for MAGA?

  20. “We have Millions of documents showing rich white men abusing teenagers. Lets grill the wife of one of those men, she’s clearly to blame”

    Don’t like Hillary but don’t invite a smart person who has nothing left to lose to your ambush party.

  22. Did they forget that she’s really good at this? They already went through it a decade ago with Benghazi. They convinced themselves that they had her dead to rights, and then she withstood 11 hours of scrutiny and came out of it looking better than she went in. Now they’ve convinced themselves that she was buddies with Jeffrey Epstein—which she almost certainly wasn’t—and they’re giving her a platform to remind everyone that she was nowhere near this pedo-hurricane, but the eye of that storm was a Who’s who of MAGA stars.

    This is a good reminder that CNN literally pays this dude, Scott Jennings, to go on TV and normalize/try to explain in made-up rational terms why anything Trump/MAGA does or thinks is good. It’s actual MAGA propaganda and would be completely avoidable if CNN just stopped paying him to do this. CNN is complicit in the normalization of this shit.

  24. A disastrous mistake. Now it opens the door for a Demcoratic House next year to flip the script and subpoena Trump, Melania, and many other involved GOPers to explain their roles in the Epstein saga.

    They made it so that the Epstein issue won’t disappear anytime soon, but will be front and center for years to come.
