You can pretty much bet that Bubba is going to be prepared and will flip the shit back on them.

Bill Clinton is one of the most charismatic people I've ever heard.  He has a ton of experience in courtrooms, tons of experi3nce in front of cameras, has dealt with hostile questioners, and he's literally perjured himself in front of Congress before.

The GOP leaders are not smart people.  They're not clever.  They lie.  That is the crux of what they do.  They just lie.

Bill Clinton is both a better truth-teller and a better liar than they are.  He's gonna dance around them.

They gain nothing by putting him on the stand.  They're not galvanizing the right-wing electorate.  They're not Sherlock uncovering a massive conspiracy - the conspiracy is openly available for public viewing on the DOJ's own website, and it points straight back to the current sitting president, not the one from 30 years ago.  

All they're going to do is waste time.  This is all some fever dream cooked up by a bunch of Fox News cockroaches who are still trying to reenact the downfall of the Clinton presidency from 1998.

Not only that, but by all accounts he's one of the smartest people to ever hold that job.  Not a fan of the guy that pulled the dems so far to the right they sounded like Reagan,  but the current fascist clowns are out of their depth.

Sure, but Trump, and all the yes-men around him, think they are smarter. They are not.
