What Bill and Hillary Clinton's Letter to Congress Was Really All About

January 16, 202600:39
00:00:00
Bill and Hillary Clinton released a
00:00:01
scathing letter. You got to read this
00:00:03
letter to the House Oversight Committee
00:00:04
this week saying they will not testify
00:00:06
in the Epstein investigation.
00:00:08
>> The Clintons are saying, "Oh, these
00:00:09
norms no longer apply. What's good for
00:00:12
them is good for us." In any other
00:00:14
administration, if the Clintons have
00:00:15
been called before Congress, they would
00:00:17
have said, "Absolutely, we'll come
00:00:18
testify." They would show up.
00:00:19
>> I don't know. I think they want to get
00:00:21
arrested and show that Trump doesn't
00:00:23
have to testify. I think that's
00:00:24
precisely what they're doing. The
00:00:26
Clintons want to make some [ __ ]
00:00:28
noise. That's my guess here. You
00:00:29
wouldn't send a letter like that if you
00:00:31
didn't want something to happen. If you
00:00:33
didn't want to make some noise.
