Episode notes
Closed Door Deposition Backfired
- Republicans insisted on closed-door deposition with Hillary Clinton despite her request for a public hearing.
- A leaked photo from Lauren Boebert prompted Clinton to pause the deposition and demand press access, which Chairman James Comer refused.
Clinton Was A Noncentral Witness
- Hillary Clinton repeatedly told the committee she did not know Jeffrey Epstein and never visited his properties.
- Republicans spent hours asking repetitive questions and veered into conspiracy topics like UFOs and Pizzagate, producing no new investigative leads.
Wexner Is The Key Financial Link
- Les Wexner is identified as the primary source of Epstein's wealth, making him central to understanding Epstein's operation.
- Republicans who deposed Wexner often skipped the session, sending aides while Democrats drove the questioning.
