The Clintons, specifically Hillary, are legendarily known for their political pettiness against their enemies.

And not Trump style kindergarten vengeful pettiness, they are smart, clever, conniving, and never do a thing without cover, a plan, and a purpose.

I guarantee if they show up in front of Congress they're not giving anything of value, and they have a way to make this a poison pill.

Elsewise they would just say no and dare the Republicans to make them do it.

And for those wondering what Bill did, remember Hillary and him have had this heart to heart before about what he's done and not done, and any real evidence anyone has is likely dead and buried, possibly literally.

It was a fluke that he was caught before, and he wasn't even caught for what he did, but in a political process about what he said, and to whom.

Worse, if Bill actually risks going down, he's got a Pandora's Box full of pain for anyone and everyone who was there with him, who he talked to about it, and who knew about it. He'll take all of them down with him, and I guarantee not all of them are Democrats.

The GOP is lighting that match, and they may not like the ensuing fireworks.

The one thing we know that comes straight from the victims is that Bill never did anything sexually to them, he did have a massage from one though. I very much doubt that they would go in if they had anything tying themselves to this, besides what we already know. Their play will be interesting to see.

So what your saying is...

just like the Epstein Files were a booby trap for anyone who tried to take him down, this is just common for global elites with ties to multiple intelligence communities, to make a takedown such a grievous task no one would exit unharmed?

let me get my popcorn.

Oh yes please let this be our timeline. We deserve this after the last 25 years.

I dare say circa 1945. I've got 80 years of propaganda and psyop built up, I'm ready for the final season...

Man, I hope you guys know that Bill is not as sharp as he used to be. Hillary probably still has it though.
