Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fired off some strong-worded social media posts on Thursday, calling for her testimony before the House Oversight Committee to be public.

The former first lady and former President Bill Clinton agreed to testify later this month as part of the committee's investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The agreement comes just days before a potential vote to hold the Clintons in contempt for initially refusing to appear before the committee.

However, Hillary Clinton said on Thursday that they had been engaged with the committee in "good faith," but the goalposts kept moving in what she called "an exercise in distraction." "We told them what we know, under oath," Hillary Clinton stated on X. "They ignored all of it."

Clinton challenged Chairman James Comer to allow the country to watch their testimony live. "Let’s stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public," Hillary Clinton stated. "You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there."

For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath.

They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.

1. Under oath? Didn't know that

[ScratchCat]

8. That's news to me and everybody else I guess

When is she claiming they were "under oath" in front of the committee? That's an odd claim because it doesn't appear to be true. I know they sent the committee a statement, but they obviously haven't sat under oath in front of the committee.

13. They provided afadavits to the committee which are under oath.

Clintons say Comer is 'lying with impunity' about Epstein inquiry, release written declarations
On Wednesday -- in a press release from the office of the former president -- the Clintons contended they have gone "above and beyond" what others have been asked to do by the committee, providing what they describe as "comprehensive" sworn statements listing "everything they have to offer" on the topic of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

"You probably don't know this because James Comer doesn't want you to," the statement says. "President and Secretary Clinton swore to the truth under penalty of perjury. James Comer hasn't told you that and has instead resorted to lying in every appearance he's made this week."

The ex-president's office also released the written declarations -- dated Jan. 13 from each of the Clintons -- which they say were provided to the Oversight Committee.

The declarations -- containing seven bullet-pointed paragraphs each -- end with this: "I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct."

Everybody else who was subpoenaed did the same - provided sworn statements- but none as detailed as the Clintons. Nobody else was threatened with contempt charges. That's because this was clearly politically motivated from the start. Comer is a lying pile of shit.

14. Thank you.

2. I expect it to be televised. Unless republicans are

truly playing partisan politics with something this serious.

[pnwmom]

5. It should be, but the R's want it in secret. That way they can frame it anyway they want. nt

[Wednesdays]

3. Yes! Make it national TV

The Clintons and Trumps were friends back in the day. Therefore, the Clintons probably know where some of the bodies are buried.
This could get interesting.

4. Remember Clinton had to be better than Comer to get as far as she has.

…and Jasmine Crockett had to be multiples better than Comer

6. I'm still with her.

[hamsterjill]

15. Thank you!!!

I am still with her, as well. She's been right about everything.

[littlemissmartypants]

22. My pleasure, hamsterjill. Some day we will have our Feminist Justice! (And I don't mean a judge.)❤️

23. ding. i got her back

[BigDemVoter]

7. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Jim Jordan and others completely ignored Congressional subpoenas with no repercussions. I am wondering why the Clintons feel obliged to do so unless it has to do with the repigs controlling Congress. . . .

[littlemissmartypants]

10. They are setting up the enemy. It's strategic. ...

Them testifying sets precedent for Don, VD & others to be called when we win the majority back.

Hope that helps. ❤️

[FakeNoose]

9. Both Bill and Hillary will ace this ... they are both smart lawyers and they've got nothing to hide

Also it sets the precedent for "former presidents and government leaders" being called to testify under oath.

11. All foreign meddling considered, she should have been president in 2016.

Furthermore, no one will ever convince me that dirtbag Donnie dumpster really won the election without oligarchic and foreign interference in 2024 either. I’m convinced we have been deprived of two female presidents (not to mention Al Gore) by a bunch of cheating pedophiles.

[barbtries]

12. i agree. nt

[SergeStorms]

16. Amen, debsy.

Testify!

[Talitha]

20. That's it in a nutshell.

How different this country would be, if only.

[Joinfortmill]

18. They don't want a repeat of the Benghazi Hearings.

SHE WAS MAGNIFICENT. I watched the whole damn thing. I wish they would leave this woman alone. Trump's past and present torment of her gives us a clear vision of who he really is.

As for Bill, he can take care of himself. I doubt there's a 'there' there, but if there is, so be it. We'll know soon.

19. 11 hours

Watched on CSPAN!
