In a short press conference following the deposition, Hillary Clinton said she wished the proceedings had been public and that she and her attorneys have asked for transcripts and videos to be available as soon as possible.

“It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn’t have to be out here characterizing it for you,” she told reporters outside the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York where the hearing took place. “You could have seen it for yourself. We had asked for that. We think it would have been better for the committee and its efforts to gather whatever information they are seeking.”

Lamenting what she called “repetitive” questioning, Clinton said she would not appear before the committee again, even if the deposition were public.

      Red herring argument. Why is a inquiry into potential links to pedophilia being held behind closed doors due to Republican insistence?

      That’s the issue so stick with it.

      Does that even matter? Both her and her husband are attending the deposition and she makes perfectly valid points. Why are these hearings behind closed doors? Why aren’t some people present in the files deposed? Like the President of the United States for example.

      Her husband is the guy with no reports of forcing women to have sex with him, and no adults accusing him of raping them when they were kids.

        But he likely got a blowjob from a future President.

        But if you think slick Willie was on the island for the snorkeling, I have a bridge in NY to sell you.

          Your assertion is that Lewinsky would 1) run and 2) have a chance? I mean… I’d gladly take a look at her platform - no shame from me. But in this time where so little we hear is surprising, that statement caught me offguard. lol’

          Oh… wait, you’re talking about the thing that Trump blew “Bubba”. Sorry, forgot about that because it was widely debunked.[1] lol. I’ll leave my first para just so maybe someone else can enjoy it or will have had the same thought. heh.
