The photos are already burned into America's memory – Bill Clinton in a hot tub, in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell, grinning alongside Jeffrey Epstein in picture after picture released by the Justice Department.
Now Hillary Clinton flew to Munich to give an interview to the BBC, and what she said is going to leave your jaw on the floor.
She looked the world straight in the eye and declared that she and Bill have "no links" to Jeffrey Epstein – and then, in the very next breath, admitted something that directly contradicts that claim.
Hillary Clinton's Epstein Interview Just Backfired
Hillary told the BBC she has no memory of ever meeting Epstein, and that Bill's association with him was just charitable flights.
But Ghislaine Maxwell – Epstein's convicted sex trafficker who recruited underage girls for him – is a different story entirely.
Hillary admitted she met Maxwell "on a few occasions." Maxwell was personally recommended for complimentary access to a 2013 Clinton Global Initiative conference – years after civil lawsuits had publicly accused her of helping Epstein groom and abuse minors.
So she never met the pedophile. She just kept welcoming his convicted partner in crime into her family's events.
No links.
The Clinton Epstein Deposition She Spent Six Months Running From
Here's what Hillary didn't lead with in her BBC appearance: she and Bill spent six months dodging and defying congressional subpoenas.
The House Oversight Committee – with Republicans AND Democrats voting together – advanced criminal contempt of Congress charges against both Clintons in January.
Only when the full House was about to vote to hold them in contempt did they cave.
Chairman James Comer put it plainly: "Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month."
Hillary is now scheduled for a closed-door deposition on February 26. Bill goes the next day.
What the Epstein Files Actually Show About Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton's name appears in the Epstein files thousands of times.
Per flight logs, Clinton flew on Epstein's "Lolita Express" at least 26 times – sometimes without his Secret Service detail.
The DOJ files include never-before-seen photos: Clinton and Epstein together, Clinton in a pool with Maxwell, Clinton in a hot tub next to a person whose face was redacted – and per the Epstein Files Transparency Act, faces are only redacted when the person is a victim or minor.
The latest document dump includes lewd email exchanges between Ghislaine Maxwell and Clinton staffers stretching from 2001 to 2004. Clinton's team stayed in regular contact with the woman now serving time in federal prison for sex trafficking children.
"No links."
The Oldest Play in the Clinton Playbook
Hillary Clinton flew to Munich, grabbed a BBC microphone, and declared the Trump administration is running a "cover-up." She cited internet speculation about Trump being mentioned "a million times" in the files as if rumors floating around online are now evidence.
She said Pam Bondi refused to answer questions at her congressional testimony – which is interesting, because the Clintons themselves refused to answer any questions at all for six months.
The Clintons have run this play since the '90s: when the evidence is closing in, don't answer the questions. Attack the questioners. Call it a witch hunt. Change the subject.
Nine Democrats on the Oversight Committee saw through it and voted to hold the Clintons in contempt anyway.
America is about to find out under oath exactly what Bill Clinton knew, when he knew it, and why he kept going back to that plane.
