Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton were a lot closer than most people know or understand. From all kinds of financial "donations" to Clinton, to visits to various properties to being invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, you'd have to be blind or playing serious partisan politics to not see how deep the ties run between the Clinton's and Epstein and Maxwell. Yet, there has not been no serious investigation (that we are aware of) into the relationship Epstein and Clinton shared and nobody has even bothered to call out his spokesperson for the canned statement he continues to offer. Hopefully, after these new revelations, the legacy media will re-evaluate their position and dive into the deep end instead of just checking the water temperature with their finely manicured toes.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-shared-hotel-room-with-bill-clinton-and-was-terrified-of-being-poisoned-says-victim-juliette-bryantBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The potential that the charismatic and popular Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell , was about to announce he was going to run for President. He was a towering figure in the minds of the American People having just run and won the Gulf War convincingly. He embarked on a book tour for his book "My American Journey" and it was a major national best seller. He seemed poised to take the Presidential Primary field by storm. However, what was also true was that Powell never seemed to really want the job nor the political life that came with it. In this episode that is captured as well , plus we get a real sense of all the things coming together at once for Senator Bob Dole as he tries to combat those already on the trail, run the U.S. Senate, fight back against the agenda of President Bill Clinton, and deal with the looming presence of the retired General that would have provided yet one more mountain for him to climb on the way to the nomination in 1996.

Tony Alamo Program 272: Roman Canon Law, the Wisdom of Proverbs, and a Warning to Bill Clinton Over Waco World pastor Tony Alamo devotes program 272 of his teaching series to Roman canon law and what he calls Satan's seat in Rome, the wisdom of the Book of Proverbs, and a pointed rebuke of former President Bill Clinton over Waco, with scripture readings led by his co-host Sharon Alamo. Program 272 Opens With Roman Canon Law Tony Alamo greets listeners as world pastor, opening part 170 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, program 272. He tells listeners Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy, along with a free Messiah book, other literature, or a Bible for anyone who cannot afford one. He turns to his recurring theme, comparing Roman canon law, which he says the United States adopted upon joining the United Nations, with the law of God, calling the two exact opposites. He argues that joining the World Council and the United Nations cost America its wealth and manufacturing, transferring it to Japan, its former World War II enemy. He places the seat of Satan, whom he calls a great red dragon, in Rome, the city of seven hills, and says Rome itself authored democracy, a system he calls rule by an untrustworthy mob, no better than the crowd God drowned in Noah's flood while sparing only eight people. Democracy, Rome, and the Generals Removed From Power Alamo continues his critique of one-world government, warning that God scattered the nations' languages precisely to prevent them combining under a single law originating from Satan's seat in Rome. He claims that during World War II, conspirators secretly built NATO, brought in Russia, and removed the two generals, Patton and MacArthur, he says could have won the war outright, installing General Eisenhower, whom he calls Casper Milquetoast, in their place because Eisenhower favored NATO and one-world government. He tells the congregation he watched a History Channel program confirming democracy originated in Rome, the city of seven mountains, and argues the media functions as the mouth of Satan, shaping opinion until the mob believes lies about Jesus having relationships with women or never truly dying on the cross. He insists God alone should govern, citing Moses as ruler of both church and state, and says he supports dictatorship only when God is the dictator. A Prayer and Jesus Loves Me From the Life Choir Alamo leads the studio in prayer, asking the Father to open hearts and minds so listeners reject what he calls the abominations taught by Satan's government, church, and media, and prays that the 144,000 Jews he expects to be saved receive God's mark before the four angels of the end times destroy the earth. The congregation answers amen. He then teaches that Jesus, as the Word of God, embodies wisdom, power, and mercy, tying the familiar song Jesus Loves Me to that idea before introducing a recording of the Life Choir performing it under the direction of arranger HB Barnum, whom he calls one of the top five arrangers and producers in the world. During and after the performance, Alamo interjects short exhortations about the Word of God leading believers into heaven, telling listeners to raise their hands and praise the Lord for His power, wisdom, and knowledge. Colossians, Proverbs, and the Hidden Treasures of Wisdom Alamo brings in his co-host, Sharon Alamo, to read Colossians chapter 2, verse 3, walking her line by line through its description of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ, and teaching that love means keeping God's commandments rather than affection or physical intimacy. He turns to the Book of Proverbs, explaining that its key word is wisdom, tracing it to Christ as described in Proverbs chapter 8, and crediting Solomon, whom he calls the principal author, with 333 Old Testament prophecies pointing toward Jesus. He describes Proverbs as God's practical instruction for relating to God, to parents, to children, and to neighbors, and argues temporal life is not real life until surrendered to the Lord. He also mentions his own literature titled The True Believer's Sabbath, teaching that every day, not just one day a week, is Sabbath rest for a born-again Christian, since Christ said the Sabbath was made for man. Solomon's Wisdom, Sin, and Unconditional Love Rejected Alamo continues teaching that Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than riches and became the wisest man in the world until he disobeyed the Lord's instruction to marry only godly women, falling into idolatry in his later years. He warns the same fate can befall anyone who grows careless, insisting love for God is conditional, not unconditional as he says many preachers falsely claim. He rejects the idea that a believer can keep sinning, naming lying, stealing, and sexual sin, and says preachers who promise otherwise are weak and destined for the lake of fire alongside those they mislead. Sharon then reads from Proverbs chapter 8, and Alamo interprets each line as wisdom, meaning Jesus, calling out to sinners in the highest places and at the city gates. He describes his own appearance, joking that his sunglasses, worn because of glaucoma, make some think he resembles the Mafia rather than a conventional preacher. A Warning to Clinton, a Testimony, and a Closing Prayer Alamo turns his warning toward former President Bill Clinton, referencing a news article in which Clinton reportedly called sending troops to Waco his worst mistake, and tells Clinton that what happened there was sin, not a mistake, naming Janet Reno alongside him and urging both to repent and be washed in the blood of Jesus. Running low on time, he has Sharon read a testimonial from a listener named Brother Martin in San Diego, California, describing his eight-year-old son's recovery from a serious virus in Mexico after prayer with the ministry's prayer-line volunteer, Brother Rick. Alamo credits the healing to prayer and invites listeners with illnesses to call or write for prayer. Sharon then reads from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, and Alamo leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing faith in Jesus's death and resurrection. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone, and fax numbers before Alamo signs off performing his recording You Can't Take It with You.

The 2003 Vanity Fair profile of Jeffrey Epstein painted him as a glamorous, high-flying financier—luxurious Manhattan mansion, exclusive billionaire clientele, and glamorous flights with celebrities like Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey. It framed Epstein as a mythic creature within elite circles, glossing over any deeper scrutiny and leaving the reader with the impression of a mysterious, alluring money man rather than a predator at work. Under the guise of curiosity, it offered pageantry—not accountability.What's truly infuriating is the piece's deliberate omission of credible allegations—like Annie and Maria Farmer's claims of attempted seduction and abuse. These weren't mere rumors; they were on-record accounts shared with reporter Vicky Ward during her reporting. But Vanity Fair's editor, Graydon Carter, excised them from the article—reportedly after Epstein exerted pressure, including threats to the magazine's office and Carter himself. That decision wasn't journalistic caution; it was cowardice, allowing a predator to hide behind a glossy veneer while silencing victims.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-communications/why-didnt-vanity-fair-break-the-jeffrey-epstein-storyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 483: BOB DOLE 1995 – Clinton's Comeback (Part 24)The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin – November 4, 1995On November 4, 1995, one of the most shocking political assassinations of the modern era took place in Tel Aviv.Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had just addressed thousands of Israelis gathered at a peace rally supporting the Oslo peace process. Within minutes, he would be shot three times by Yigal Amir, a Jewish Israeli extremist who opposed Rabin's negotiations with the Palestinians. Rabin was rushed to the hospital, but his wounds proved fatal.In this episode of BOB DOLE 1995 – Clinton's Comeback, we step away from the American political campaign for a moment to examine the extraordinary events unfolding in the Middle East during the autumn of 1995.Just two years earlier, Rabin had stood alongside President Bill Clinton and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat on the White House lawn as the Oslo Accords were signed. For a brief moment, there was hope that decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians might finally give way to a lasting peace.But by 1995, that hope was under enormous strain. Israel was deeply divided over the peace process. Palestinian terrorism was threatening the negotiations, while Jewish extremists inside Israel increasingly portrayed Rabin as betraying his country. Across the Arab world, governments and political movements were reacting to the changing relationship between Israel and the Palestinians.Then came November 4.We examine Rabin's extraordinary life—from soldier and military commander to Israeli prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize recipient—and the political circumstances that led to his assassination. We also look at the reaction in Israel, the United States, and around the world, including President Clinton's deeply personal response to the death of a man with whom he had worked closely in pursuit of peace.And while the assassination occurred thousands of miles from Washington, it was very much part of the world Bill Clinton was navigating as he prepared for the 1996 presidential election. With Bob Dole emerging as the Republican nominee-in-waiting and Clinton fighting his way back politically after the Republican Revolution of 1994, the events of November 1995 were shaping a rapidly changing world.The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin would change Israel, alter the course of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and become one of the defining moments of the 1990s.This is the story of Yitzhak Rabin, the political battle surrounding the Oslo peace process, and the tragic night that changed the Middle East.

Have Americans given up a sense of virtue in their political leaders? What does character mean when so-called “authenticity” is prized over moral goodness? As publisher of The Bulwark and host of The Focus Group podcast, Sarah Longwell has thought long and hard about these questions. When she was a young conservative growing up in the ‘90s, she applauded Republicans who held then-President Bill Clinton to task for his moral failings. “I was very attracted to the idea that character counted,” she tells Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. “In the years post-Clinton, that idea of virtue or character really was animating for the right — at least in their rhetoric. So it was deeply shocking to me, when Donald Trump came on the scene, to see every Republican I knew, both personally and who I had admired from afar, fall in line.” Click hereLongwell's new book, “How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time,” is a call for pro-democracy groups to unite and push back against authoritarianism. Her thesis is built upon hundreds of focus groups she's conducted since President Trump was elected — with Republicans, Democrats, Independents and the politically homeless — where she's heard voters say that character just isn't the deal breaker that it used to be. “But I do think for America to have a better moral line of what we'll tolerate,” she says. “It will require a [candidate] to come in and — not pretend to be perfect — but they should lean hard into the idea that we can be better than this.” Guest:Sarah Longwell is publisher of The Bulwark and host of The Focus Group podcast.

Civics is not a spectator sport—it is the operating system of democracy.In a timely Big Tent USA conversation held on September 17, moderator John Avlon joined iCivics CEO Louise Dubé and Citizen University CEO Eric Liu to make the case for rebuilding civic learning as a source of democratic resilience. They defined civics as more than memorizing branches of government: it combines knowledge, practical skills, and the confidence to exercise civic power. The panelists urged educators to connect lessons to real-world problems, local decision-making, civil dialogue, and hands-on experiences—from interactive games to student-led community projects. They also emphasized supporting teachers amid political pressure, teaching history and civics together, and helping young people understand both their rights and responsibilities. On AI, they argued for human-centered learning, with technology serving as a carefully governed supplement—not a substitute for relationships and judgment.The call to action was clear: learn the system, engage locally, and put civic power to work.Learn more about iCivics: https://ed.icivics.org/Learn more about Citizen University: https://citizenuniversity.us/Check out John Avlon's Substack: https://johnavlon.substack.comABOUT THE SPEAKERS:John Avlon is an award-winning journalist, author, news anchor, and media executive.

Proudly-Jewish & Never-Boring: Alan Dershowitz on His Divorce from the Democratic Party

Keen On Democracy

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 24, 2026 43:53

“A good divorce is better than a bad marriage, and this is a good divorce.” — Alan Dershowitz The American lawyer Alan Dershowitz says he's been voting Democrat since John F. Kennedy. He even defended Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Alan Cranston in court. But, at 88 years old, Dershowitz has now left — or, as he puts it, been forced out of the Dems, in the same way Ronald Reagan was sixty years ago. His new book Why I Quit the Dems and So Should You is both a history of his souring relations with the Democrats and a confessional of a reluctant Republican. A good divorce, the twice-married Dershowitz promises, is better than a bad marriage. Like many angry spouses, he says he's been forced into the split. Today's Democratic Party, he claims, is closer than any political party in modern American history to what the Nazi Party was in 1932 before it came to power. He names Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani as antisemites, calls Bernie Sanders a self-hating Jew, and insists Kamala Harris passed over Josh Shapiro because Shapiro is a Jew who wouldn't renounce Zionism. What's his proof on the Harris claim? What other reason could there be? Dershowitz claims. Besides, even if Israel vanished as an issue tomorrow, he says he still couldn't go back to the failed marriage, because the Dems have abandoned what he calls “meritocracy.” At 88, Dershowitz is perhaps a little more self-reflective than he was in his legal pomp. In conclusion, I ask him to summarize himself in a word. “Proudly-Jewish,” he says, before adding “never-boring.” We can all agree on that, if perhaps little else. Five Takeaways • A Good Divorce. Dershowitz frames his departure as liberation rather than loss: a good divorce is better than a bad marriage, and he was thrown out, he says, much as Ronald Reagan was. The loyalty he is breaking runs deep — he first voted for John F. Kennedy, defended Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Senator Alan Cranston, and campaigned for Democrats for most of his adult life. He describes himself now as a convert, and converts, he notes, are the most fervent. What he wants is not the suffering of Democrats — his wife, children and much of his family remain in the party — but their defeat: he does not want them running the House or the Senate, and names AOC and Abdul El-Sayed as people he does not want chairing committees. He first went independent, then concluded that independence wasn't enough, which is how a lifelong liberal became, in the book's subtitle, a reluctant Republican — or, as Andrew put it, an angry spouse who says he was forced into the split. President Trump, he notes, endorsed the book.• The Charge. The hour's most incendiary material, and it should be read as his claims rather than as established fact. Dershowitz argues the Democratic Party is closer than any political party in modern American history to what the Nazi Party was in 1932 — specifically 1932, he stresses, not 1935: Jews feeling unsafe at universities, Jews losing jobs, an obsession with the nation-state of the Jewish people. He names El-Sayed and Mamdani as antisemites, says he does not believe Mamdani or his family like Jews, calls Bernie Sanders a self-hating Jew and a hypocrite, and says Elizabeth Warren doesn't like Jews. His central political claim: no Jew perceived as pro-Israel can now win a Democratic primary, and no Jew will be nominated for president — which is why, in his telling, Kamala Harris passed over Josh Shapiro, a choice he says cost her Pennsylvania and possibly the election. Andrew asked how he could know that. “What other reason could there be?” was the answer, and Andrew offered the conventional one: that Harris didn't want to be eclipsed by her running mate.• Meritocracy. Andrew's sharpest structural question was hypothetical: if the Middle East were solved overnight and Israel vanished as an American political issue, could he return to the Democratic Party? No — because of meritocracy. The Democrats, he argues, have become the party of identity politics, of judging ideas by who said them and candidates by race or gender rather than merit; DEI, in his formulation, means exclusion rather than inclusion. The argument is partly autobiographical. His father did not finish high school, his mother managed half a semester of college, and he rose, he says, on merit alone — as did friends who were Italian, Irish and Black. He does not claim anti-meritocracy is itself antisemitism, but he does argue that Jews have been disproportionate beneficiaries of meritocracy and so suffer disproportionately from its retreat.• Andrew's Pushback. The spine of the episode. One: has he become single-issue? His answer — that this is like asking a German in 1932 to vote on the economy — concedes the framing and defends it, arguing antisemitism is the only prejudice now moving in the wrong direction. Two: what about the antisemites of the right, Tucker Carlson and JD Vance? Republicans marginalize theirs, he says, while Democrats embrace theirs; he does not regard Vance as an antisemite, and does regard Carlson as one. Three: can a Jew criticize Israel without being an antisemite? Yes — he criticizes Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and Likud; what he calls antisemitism is denying the state's right to exist, and his analogy is New Zealand. On the charge of genocide in Gaza he was categorical, calling those who use the word ignoramuses, liars and bigots — a characterization Andrew put to him twice. Four, and the exchange that lingers: why, in his account, is it always the Jews? “That question itself smacks of antisemitism,” he replied. “But you're the one who's said it,” Andrew answered. “I'm just asking you why.”• Never Boring. The lawyer's creed, and the personal coda. Dershowitz defends having represented people he despises — the Nazis who marched at Skokie; Palestinian students who wanted to fly their flag in Harvard Yard, an occasion he remembers fondly because he then spoke against Arafat at their own event; Jeffrey Epstein, whom he calls a terrible human being who did terrible things, and whose case he says he has volunteered to testify about before a House panel. His models are John Adams defending the redcoats after the Boston Massacre and Lincoln defending the guilty: the Sixth Amendment doesn't come with a character test. There is family cost — Larry David cut him off over his defence of Trump at the first impeachment, though the two have since made up — and family discipline: no politics at Thanksgiving or the Jewish New Year. Asked for one word he'd want attached to his name, he offered two: proudly Jewish, and American. And his wife's line, which he clearly relishes: the tombstone will say never boring. Andrew's verdict: we can all agree on that, if little else. About the Guest Alan Dershowitz is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus, at Harvard Law School, where he taught for fifty years. His many books include Chutzpah, Reversal of Fortune and The Case for Israel. He has represented clients from Claus von Bülow and Mike Tyson to O. J.

Shofar so good! David Waldman topped up his atonement over the weekend and returned today, set to talk about lascivious corruption. Lauren Boebert is always ready to lend a hand with a scandal or two or three… several at a time when she's in the mood. Now there's a complaint filed with the U.S. House Committee on Ethics alleging that Boebert had romantic and sexual relationships with three staff members under her direct supervision, paid them to keep quiet, bare-knuckle brawled in bars with them, and then hooked them up with… Matt Gaetz… in Mar-a-Lago. Somewhere, Kyrsten Sinema is blushing. Similarly, Susan Collins... perhaps not "similarly" but we won't be finding that out for certain, now that the FBI has been called off her case. Martin Kao, formally from Martin Defense Group, which was formerly Navatek, might be wondering if his pardon was lost in the mail. Clavicular continues to lay the groundwork for his presidential bid. All-powerful puppet of the last person that he talked to, Donald K. Trump recently banished the free press, but already pines for them, photobombing Zohran Mamdani in New York, while Melania slipped off for a little on the side. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are semi-privately dismayed.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A clean record sounds like a fantasy until you sit with Psalm 32 long enough to feel it. We start with Scripture that refuses to flatter us: hiding sin corrodes the soul, but confession opens the door to real joy, real honesty, and real relief. If you've been carrying a private weight or replaying the same regret, this is a grounded, Bible-centered reminder that forgiveness is not a slogan, it's a turning point.The conversation then turns to prayer and protection. We pray for trafficked children, for people who feel anxious or broken, and for veterans, law enforcement, and first responders. We also react to a deeply disturbing report of child sexual abuse and wrestle with fear, justice, and the responsibility to defend the vulnerable. The host shares strong views about culture and religion; we encourage listeners to hold tight to compassion for victims while thinking carefully, speaking truthfully, and refusing to let outrage replace discernment.From there we get intensely practical about Christian marriage. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7, we talk about divided interests, daily responsibility, and a simple order of priorities: serve God first, then give your spouse the best of you before screens, sports, or comfort. We close by honoring Medal of Honor recipient John Robert Caviani, reflecting on what we choose to remember, and reading Abraham Lincoln's call for national humility and confession.If this helped you reset your heart or your home, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Hillary Clinton's February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton's relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as no more than a “casual acquaintance,” said she did not consider her a friend and attributed Maxwell's presence around the Clinton family largely to her relationship with longtime Clinton friend Ted Waitt. Clinton acknowledged that Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding, but said she had no specific recollection of speaking with her there and believed Maxwell attended as Waitt's guest. She also said she did not remember Maxwell visiting the Clintons' Chappaqua home, despite Maxwell later saying she had been there several times, and said she had no knowledge of Epstein having connections to American or foreign intelligence services.The questioning became much more contentious when lawmakers turned to Bill Clinton's documented relationship with Epstein. Hillary characterized her husband's relationship with Epstein as “limited” and primarily connected to his use of Epstein's airplane, said she had no knowledge of Bill visiting Little St. James and maintained there was no evidence connecting him to Epstein's crimes. When lawmakers pressed her about photographs showing Bill Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and young women during trips, Clinton acknowledged seeing some of those photographs but said she had not become curious enough to investigate the circumstances herself, calling it simply “unfortunate” that her husband ever had dealings with Epstein. She also denied personally soliciting money from Epstein and said she was unaware of anyone doing so on her behalf, while acknowledging she knew little about whether Epstein played any role around Clinton Foundation or Clinton Global Initiative activities. The transcript therefore presented a consistent Clinton defense: she said she personally had essentially no relationship with Epstein and only a peripheral relationship with Maxwell, while repeatedly separating herself from questions about Bill Clinton by telling lawmakers that he would have to answer for his own conduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Bill and Hillary Clinton have repeatedly described their ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as limited, incidental or primarily connected to philanthropy, but the documentary record has shown a relationship that was broader and more sustained than those descriptions suggest. Bill Clinton acknowledged traveling on Epstein's plane in 2002 and 2003 for Clinton Foundation-related work, while flight logs documented numerous individual flight legs involving Clinton. Epstein and Maxwell also appeared in the Clinton orbit well beyond those trips: Epstein visited the Clinton White House repeatedly in the 1990s, Maxwell accompanied Clinton on overseas travel, participated in Clinton-related events and fundraisers, and later remained socially connected to the family. Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding, had vacationed with Chelsea, attended Clinton Global Initiative events and continued appearing around Clinton-linked activities years after Epstein's 2008 conviction. CNN reported that Maxwell remained involved with CGI as late as 2015 and that Bill Clinton had dinner with her in Los Angeles in 2014.That record has made the Clintons' efforts to portray the relationships as distant increasingly difficult to reconcile with the paper trail. During her 2026 congressional deposition, Hillary Clinton repeatedly said she did not know Epstein, did not recall meeting him and had little information about his activities, while Maxwell herself told DOJ investigators that she had met Hillary and had been invited to the Clintons' Chappaqua home several times. Bill Clinton has maintained that his contact with Epstein was connected to charitable work and that he knew nothing about Epstein's crimes, and there is no evidence establishing that either Clinton participated in Epstein's abuse. But the larger credibility problem has remained the gap between the language of minimization and the accumulated record of flights, White House access, fundraisers, family events, private dinners and years of continuing contact with Maxwell. The issue is not that association alone proves wrongdoing; it is that the relationship documented over time was plainly more substantial than the casual, arms-length version the Clintons have often presented publicly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Hillary Clinton's February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton's relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as no more than a “casual acquaintance,” said she did not consider her a friend and attributed Maxwell's presence around the Clinton family largely to her relationship with longtime Clinton friend Ted Waitt. Clinton acknowledged that Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding, but said she had no specific recollection of speaking with her there and believed Maxwell attended as Waitt's guest. She also said she did not remember Maxwell visiting the Clintons' Chappaqua home, despite Maxwell later saying she had been there several times, and said she had no knowledge of Epstein having connections to American or foreign intelligence services.The questioning became much more contentious when lawmakers turned to Bill Clinton's documented relationship with Epstein. Hillary characterized her husband's relationship with Epstein as “limited” and primarily connected to his use of Epstein's airplane, said she had no knowledge of Bill visiting Little St. James and maintained there was no evidence connecting him to Epstein's crimes.

The Clinton Epstein Depositions and the Failure of Congressional Oversight (Part 1) (9/17/26)

The congressional depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton expose a broader problem with the House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein: lawmakers appear to apply different levels of scrutiny depending on the political identity of the witness. Democratic members repeatedly characterize the Clinton depositions as political theater and spend significant portions of their public messaging attacking Republican motives rather than aggressively testing the Clintons' answers against the documentary record. Bill Clinton's documented relationship with Epstein, including travel aboard Epstein's aircraft and years of social contact, provides ample ground for detailed questioning, yet the deposition often lacks the kind of sustained follow-up that would normally accompany discrepancies, failures of memory, or assertions that conflict with other known evidence. Hillary Clinton's testimony receives similar defensive treatment, with Democratic members appearing more interested in challenging the legitimacy of the proceeding than independently examining what she knew about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Republicans contribute to the dysfunction with irrelevant and theatrical questioning of their own, but that does not excuse Democratic members from their responsibility to conduct serious oversight. The result is an investigation that too often resembles competing political defense teams rather than a disciplined effort to establish facts.The Clinton depositions also highlight a larger credibility problem for Congress, which spends months demanding testimony and threatening contempt proceedings only to allow partisan loyalty to dominate the questioning once witnesses finally appear. The committee releases hours of Clinton deposition video while providing searchable written transcripts for numerous other Epstein-related witnesses, making independent examination of the Clinton testimony more difficult and leaving the public increasingly dependent on selectively edited clips and partisan summaries. Instead of methodically comparing testimony with flight records, photographs, calendars, communications, financial records, and other evidence, lawmakers repeatedly turn the investigation into another battle between Democrats and Republicans. That approach does little for survivors and even less to explain how Epstein maintained access to powerful people and institutions for so long. Bill and Hillary Clinton should not receive harsher treatment because of who they are, but neither should political allies shield them from the same level of scrutiny applied to other witnesses. Congress claims that nobody is above investigation, yet the Clinton depositions raise an uncomfortable question about whether lawmakers are willing to apply that principle when the witness belongs to their own political camp.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
