What am I missing? Why is Hillary Clinton being forced to testify before Congress?

She was not a part of anything, she doesn't know anything; she didn't pal around with Jeffrey Epstein; there aren't hundreds of photos of her posing with Epstein on the internet. What does she have to do with any if it? Simply because of who she's married to? Is that why they've been out to get her for years?

This is harassment pure and simple, with a huge bit of hypocrisy thrown in. When is DJT going to be forced to testify before any tribunal for his obvious involvement with Epstein? I won't be holding my breath.

According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records:

    Epstein donated $5,000 to Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign.
    He also gave $2,000 to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 U.S. Senate campaign in New York.
    Additionally, Epstein contributed to Democratic Party committees and other Democratic candidates over the years, including $10,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 1998.

Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein had a documented social and professional relationship (1990s–early 2000s)**

Multiple credible sources show that Bill Clinton and Epstein interacted socially and professionally from the early 1990s through approximately 2003

Epstein made multiple visits to the Clinton White House during Bill Clinton’s presidency. [\[en.wikipedia.org\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_Bill_Clinton_and_Jeffrey_Epstein)
Their association consisted of meetings, social events, and connections through mutual associates such as Ghislaine Maxwell. [\[en.wikipedia.org\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_of_Bill_Clinton_and_Jeffrey_Epstein)

Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s aircraft multiple times (flight logs)

Several document releases—including DOJ records and civil litigation logs—show that Clinton traveled on Epstein’s private jet in the early 2000s, typically for Clinton Foundation–related international trips.

*   One major 2026 review states at least 16 flights, sometimes with multiple stops. [\[firstpost.com\]](https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/what-epstein-files-reveal-about-clintons-bill-clinton-hillary-clinton-house-probe-13975614.html)
*   ABC News reports flights connected to trips to Bangkok, Brunei, Rwanda, Russia, China, among others. [\[abcnews.com\]](https://abcnews.com/Politics/bill-clinton-jeffrey-epstein/story?id=127629827)
*   Other fact‑checking summaries note sources citing between 4 and 26 “flights”, depending on how multi‑stop trips are counted. [\[factually.co\]](https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/evidence-linking-bill-clinton-to-jeffrey-epstein-cd7960)

DOJ‑released materials include photos and social imagery, but no allegations of misconduct

In a large December 2025 DOJ document dump, previously unseen images circulated showing:

*   Clinton in a swimming pool with Ghislaine Maxwell
*   Clinton photographed alongside Epstein in various casual settings    [\[politico.com\]](https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/19/trump-world-takes-shots-at-favorite-boogeyman-bill-clinton-in-epstein-file-dump-00701780)

Jeffrey Epstein was first arrested in connection with a criminal case on July 27, 2006;

2005–2006: Maxwell named in Palm Beach police and FBI files
The investigation that started in March 2005 into Epstein’s abuse of minors produced multiple police reports, and by 2005–2006, Maxwell was explicitly referenced in investigative files as playing a meaningful role.

Law enforcement reports publicly referenced her
Media coverage of the Palm Beach investigation began surfacing Epstein and Maxwell’s names together

These years marked the first widely visible public suggestion that Maxwell may have engaged in criminal activity.

Clinton married investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on July 31, 2010

Approximately 400 guests attended the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky.
The wedding took place  at the Astor Courts estate in Rhinebeck, New York.

Key Details Regarding the Guest List:

    Intimate Gathering: Despite initial rumors suggesting up to 500 people, reports confirmed the final count was closer to 400, described as an intimate gathering considering the couple's connections.
    "No-Strangers" Policy: Chelsea Clinton reportedly enforced a strict policy, ensuring she knew every guest personally, rather than inviting a large number of political donors or acquaintances.
    Notable Attendees: The guest list included close friends and family, such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, and designer Vera Wang.
    Absentees: President Barack Obama was invited but did not attend.

The wedding was a highly private, high-profile event, with the surrounding area under strict security and a no-fly zone.

"No-Strangers" Policy: Chelsea Clinton reportedly enforced a strict policy, ensuring she knew every guest personally, rather than inviting a large number of political donors or acquaintances.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat for a closed-door deposition before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is leading the probe into how federal officials handled Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Clinton read her opening statement, which she later posted online, and while under oath, she claimed she knew nothing about the duo's crimes and didn't recall ever encountering Epstein himself.

FINALLY. I have a surgery date. [View all]

For those of you who may not remember the back story, here's a couple of links:

Apparently, scheduling a surgery takes longer than you might expect. But there are various things that need to happen before scheduling. For instance, the drug I'm on (Tagrisso) needs to be on board for 90 days. I just passed that date a few days ago. Also, an appropriate hospital needs to be on the list (it is.) and the doctor doing the surgery needs to have privileges there, which she does.

I don't yet have a time when the surgery will start. But the day is definitely fixed:

MONDAY, MARCH 16TH, 2026.

There are other small procedures to be done, but this is the important one.

Now, I need to ready myself, my psyche and my body, for this unprecedented surgery. I've never had a surgery like this before and it looks a little scary. All my joint replacements got to be routine. This is not.

As I did before, I will give each response a rec when I've read it.

My love and thanks to all of you!
