In a transparent attempt to shift the focus away from Donald Trump's dubious connections to convicted felon Jeffrey Epstein, the Republican-led administration has now taken aim at Bill and Hillary Clinton. The strategy seems to be: "Hey, let's distract you with some Clinton-Epstein drama while we drag our feet on releasing all the Epstein files."
It's a classic tactic - pin the blame on someone else, anyone else, in an attempt to deflect attention from their own culpability. But this time around, it won't work.
The Trump administration has been slinging mud at Bill Clinton for months, citing his well-documented ties with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. While those connections are certainly problematic, the Clintons have repeatedly maintained that they cut ties with Epstein in 2005 - before he pleaded guilty to solicitation of a minor in Florida.
However, despite their denials, the Trump administration has continued to release photos of Clinton alongside Epstein, including one from December with the caption "Oh my!" It's hard to imagine what more evidence the Republicans need to justify their crusade against the former president.
The Democrats, however, are refusing to cooperate with the Republican-led House oversight committee's investigation into Epstein's activities. In a scathing statement, they accused the Trump administration of attempting to create a sideshow and accused Comer of being hypocritical in his claims that they should comply with the subpoenas while he drags his feet on releasing all the Epstein files.
The real question here is: what are the Republicans hiding? The answer seems clear - they're trying to distract us from their own role in enabling Epstein's sinister activities. And it won't work.
