Bill Clinton should testify publicly about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but House Republicans shouldn’t be singling him out.
They should be hauling everyone in to testify publicly—Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Elon Musk, and anyone else implicated in the files.

What no one seems to be asking after watching Johnathan Ross's cellphone video, is how was Good blocking Ross from moving down the street when he had already driven around her?
He got out to film her vehicle on the passenger side. He had ALREADY gone around her.

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.
What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP
He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.
