Not easy to avoid the unwanted Trump hug, sometimes it even takes practice... A favorite moment from debate prep (9/24/16):

Wow. @RepJamesComer is furious and embarrassed. He should be. He had to vote yesterday on what amounted to, “I can’t do my job. Please help me.” But his REAL problem is that he told a colossal lie on TV last night. [KEEP READING] Comer has been treating MAGA like idiots. He doesn’t want answers. He doesn’t want justice. He doesn’t care about the victims — who he won’t allow to testify. He finally said out loud what he really wants: Bill & Hillary in prison. For what? For being named Clinton. BUT THATS NOT COMER’S REAL PROBLEM. His REAL problem is that he LIED on camera. Never a smart thing to do — especially when the lie is comically provable. Here’s what Comer said on TV last night: "Other Democrats have sent letters saying they knew nothing about Epstein, which would hold in court if something ever comes out that they did know something, then they've committed perjury there. But the Clintons have never responded.” - U.S. Representative James Comer, Chairman, House Oversight Committee, Republican, Big Fat Liar. @GOPoversight you’re gonna want to fix this. Quickly. justthenews.com/government/c…

If you are going to defame Bill Clinton, we expect you to include this sworn testimony from Bill Barr:
“The only real evidence linking an American president to Jeffrey Epstein and all of those underage girls doesn't have anything to do with Donald Trump; it has everything to do with Bill Clinton.” Rob Finnerty discusses how Democrats may be using the Jeffrey Epstein files as a “distraction” and highlights an alleged connection between former President Bill Clinton and the deceased convicted sex trafficker. @RobFinnertyUSA

Why didn’t Trump & AG Bondi ask the Epstein estate for his email and text messages? @comer’s @GOPoversight asked, and easily got them. Trump didn’t ask bc he was petrified about its contents. Now we all know why. What else haven’t they bothered to seek?

Why did the Republicans subpoena Hillary Clinton you ask? Here’s why, and it’s not because of Epstein. @RepJamesComer himself chose to ask XAG Bill Barr about Hillary, one of only 2x she comes up in 129 pages of a transcribed sworn deposition : TRUMP & RUSSIA. He subpoenaed 8 people not named Clinton. He then told 7 of those 8, Never mind, don’t bother coming in. Comer doesn’t care about Epstein or his crimes or his victims. If he cared he’d call a hundred witnesses. Not 10. Not the Right’s favorite political piñatas. He’d let victims testify. He’d depose Trump. And if he cared, it wouldn’t take an act of the ENTIRE Congress to FORCE the TRUMP’s Justice Department to provide the documents MAGA demands. To say no to MAGA, you gotta wonder what he’s scared of. Even if the Senate passes this (big if), even if Trump signs it (HUGE if), HIS Attorney General will ignore it. Don’t forget, this action by the ENTIRE Congress is only necessary because PAM Bondi hasn’t provided them to a request Congress already made. My bet is, we’ll never see them.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are refusing to appear before House Oversight for their depositions regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Notice how House Democrats suddenly have nothing to say about it.

“President Trump. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment." — Epstein Survivor.
Epstein survivor: "We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Democrats who were friends with Epstein. I beg you President Trump -- please stop making this political. It is not about you, President Trump. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

Dear @RepJamesComer & @GOPoversight RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPTS OF ALL 10 PEOPLE YOU SUBPOENAED. Oh wait. You can’t. You let all but one Attorney General & FBI Director subpoenaed skip it. So, you only need Bill Barr and the Clintons? That’s quite a comprehensive ✌️investigation✌️. Stop taking MAGA for idiots.

My Dearest MAGA & Media, Today will be noisy. Here’s a trick how to simplify: Whenever you hear a Republican say BILL CLINTON replace it with DONALD TRUMP. They’ll bark at the former to avoid biting the latter. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTEN…

If Epstein were alive Trump would pardon him and give him the Medal of Freedom.
These emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing. The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else. reuters.com/world/us/trump-s…
