Dem floored as Hillary Clinton 'ran circles around Republicans' during Epstein deposition

Who is surprised by this?

Dem floored as Hillary Clinton 'ran circles around Republicans' during Epstein deposition: well, they were talking to a Classy Lady much smarter than them--wait 'til they hear from the Rhoades Scholar, Bill Clinton--he's gonna clean the floor with them

A Democratic lawmaker Thursday revealed several insights about what happened inside the room where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by the House Oversight Committee about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — explaining she did not know him.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told CNN anchor Jake Tapper that Clinton explained she had never met the late financier and convicted child sex offender, and she did not have a relationship with his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

"We would like the transcript to be released within 24 hours because the reality is she ran circles around the Republicans the entire time," Subramanyam said. "It's still going and she's answering every single question being asked. But the reality is we should be interviewing people who actually had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who knew the guy, who at least met the guy and know about his crimes. There's so many people in the files and Hillary Clinton is not someone we should be focusing on."

Subramanyam brought up how zero Republicans attended Les Wexner's testimony in Ohio last week, yet 11 Republicans were in upstate New York on Thursday. He also called out Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for taking photos and sending them to a MAGA influencer who posted them during the closed-door meeting and violating the committee's rules, and pausing the entire testimony.

The way those two have been treated by this country one could not blame them if they left. 40+ years of demonization just because they came to Washington with the idea Universal Health care.

Hillary tried harder as a First Lady to address the health care issue in America than all repukes combined.

They’d be a WORLD CLASS President and First Gentleman.

Or, maybe in their case, it’d be President and Former President.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for that to happen!!!

The GOP has zero desire to investigate Epstein’s. They want to embarrass the Clintons and make it “both sides did it”.

Nobody should be floored by Hillary Clinton being incredibly competent in the face of Republican nitwit questioning.
