Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling for her upcoming testimony before the House Oversight Committee to be made public in a congressional probe of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a pair of social media posts on Feb. 5, the former first lady and Democratic presidential candidate railed against the committee and Republican lawmakers whom she said had “ignored” previous testimony by her and former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton said that they had engaged with the committee in “good faith,” but the goalposts kept moving in what she called “an exercise in distraction.”

    I hope it’s not public. I hope the testimony is sealed in a vault for all eternity.

    No longer having to listen to hillary was like the only good consequence of 2016. Please don’t take that away, please don’t give her a public soapbox.

    We shouldn’t have to suffer through both fascism AND hillary clinton pretending to have ideals.

      The game theory of that situation is obvious. Trump would then say basically the same thing in reversr, and he’s far more powerful than the Clintons right now, which likely ends up with them in jail and Trump scot-free

      They aren’t going to implicate anyone. It’s the only logical, selfish, choice
