In a short press conference following the deposition, Hillary Clinton said she wished the proceedings had been public and that she and her attorneys have asked for transcripts and videos to be available as soon as possible.
“It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn’t have to be out here characterizing it for you,” she told reporters outside the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York where the hearing took place. “You could have seen it for yourself. We had asked for that. We think it would have been better for the committee and its efforts to gather whatever information they are seeking.”
Lamenting what she called “repetitive” questioning, Clinton said she would not appear before the committee again, even if the deposition were public.
Uhhh these are always repetitive, at least for the public ones. Most of the politicians asking questions just want to score quick gotchas and sound bites.
I suspect that the private depositions are typically more down to business, but in this case, Republicans want to obstruct the truth rather than expose it, so of course it’s going to be a clown show.
