Angel Ureña said ex-president, pictured in some photos released by justice department, cut ties with Epstein in 2005
A spokesperson for Bill Clinton accused the White House late on Friday of using him as a scapegoat after pictures of the former president with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as with a young woman in a pool, were included as part of congressionally ordered release of government files.
“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.
“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,” the statement added.
Clinton was supposed to be the guardrails for all of this, I imagine.
Meaning, the cons probably assumed that, like they are, the left is super-tribal and are just “team blue” when it comes to shit like this. When I doubt there are very few even moderate Democratic voters that could give a rat’s ass if Clinton gets implicated or not. If he’s in there, so fucking what? Release them all anyway.
Republicans are such rabbid morons, they just project their tribalism on Democrats.
I couldn’t give a shit about any individual politican and ANY that has done illegal shit I want prosecuted.
For some reason this simply does not compute in the Republican Neanderthal brain.
You could see this in action for quite some time as Donvict was found guilty of various crimes, such as stoking an insurrection and plotting a coup: “Oh yeah? Whatabout HUNTER’S LAPTOP!?”
IRL, I’d shrug and say…what about it? Sure if they find any actual there there, it should be pursued. That kind of reaction tends to totally deflate them. They want you to fly to the ramparts to defend YOUR criminal against THEIR criminal. I don’t give that much of a fuck about Hunter or Joe (although I realize the accusations are probably just an actual witch hunt like they accuse everyone else of doing - just like they waged a jihad against the Clintons for nearly a decade which resulted in a land deal they lost money on and a stained dress.) and remain completely unbothered by any of this kind of bullshit.
If Bill or Hillary or Hunter or Joe were to get in legal trouble for legit reasons…shrug. So unbothered.
