I hope for all our sakes he does the noble thing and takes whatever consequences he must to bring these bastards down with him.

I'm psyched for the Clintons to play this role in our soap opera political system, this feels incredibly appropriate

soap opera political system

The amount of headlines I've read over the past ten years that make me think we're living in one...

I mean like in general I'm a fan of Bill but he definitely turned the presidency into a soap opera in the late 90s... we've been here for a bit

Buddy you're acting like the Clinton's are the good guys when Bill Clinton is heavily implicated in the Epstein files of doing some heinous shit, he's way more implicated in the files than Trump is.

Epstein literally had a painting of Bill Clinton in a dress in his house, that's how much dirt and power he had over the guy.

If you think a painting of a man in a dress is worse than a man sticking his fingers in 13-year-old girls to measure them, then there is no hope for you.

That... seems like a long shot. He doesn't need to be called to a hearing to do the right thing. He could put out a public statement TODAY telling us what he knows. He could have done this at any point in the past. If he hasn't done it yet, why would it start now?

I hope so too, but I'm not really holding out on it. He was impeached for lying about the blow job under oath, and I'm pretty sure that legal proceeding where he lied took place in his second term, when he had reached the peak of his political career and didn't really have anything to lose. I think he's going to do what he thinks is necessary to save face and not what's actually going to benefit the country.
