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.

    So much gish to gallop here.

    -I’m glad we agree that the hearing should have been public.

    -The fact that there are files still not released has no relevance here with your argument that Hillary was lying through her teeth. What we do know and have is that ~3 million files have been released and Hillary Clinton has been mentioned 700+ times and most of it has been with campaign stuff or gossipy crap between other people talking about her. I think the most damning thing release so far is having Epstein at her daughters wedding as a link between her and Epstein.

    -Your attempts to both sides things also has no bearing on your claim she was lying through her teeth.

    Nothing that you have pointed out supports the fact she was lying through her teeth about the deposition and honestly, I find your attempt to both sides things in this current situation is crap, a red herring to avoid your claim here

    And honestly fuck this timeline where I’m having to justifiably defend a Clinton, which I would like to point out my personal opinion of her has no bearing on the veracity of her truthfulness of her account of her closed door testimony.
