Watch Trump Realize Dems Outplayed Him on Epstein - Pondering Politics
Donald Trump was visibly nervous when he realized that the Republicans screwed him on the Epstein Files. By forcing the Clintons to testify, the GOP has guaranteed that Trump himself will eventually be forced to testify by Democrats.
====================
Here are the key points from the video:
• Republicans set a precedent by forcing Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify under oath before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein connections, which Democrats plan to use against Trump in the future
• Trump appeared uncomfortable when confronted about this precedent during an NBC Super Bowl interview, recognizing it could be used against him and his family members
• Democrats have publicly committed to subpoenaing Trump once he leaves office in 2029, potentially about Epstein connections, cryptocurrency dealings, and foreign business conflicts
• Hillary Clinton challenged Republicans to hold the hearing publicly rather than behind closed doors, expressing confidence she can handle public testimony
• Former Trump adviser Sean Spicer warned this move could backfire on Republicans and future Republican presidents, including potentially JD Vance
• Democrats view this as establishing new oversight rules they intend to use aggressively, with multiple Democratic representatives stating "what's good for the goose is good for the gander"
