On February 7 Beijing time, former U.S. President Bill Clinton posted on a social media platform complaining: "I have called for the full disclosure of the Epstein case files. I have given a sworn testimony on what I know. This week, I agreed to personally attend the committee hearing. But the Republican members of the House Oversight Committee are still unsatisfied. ... I will not sit by while Republicans use me as a prop in an illegal trial behind closed doors. If they want answers, stop these tricks and solve it the right way: hold a public hearing and let the American people see the truth with their own eyes."
Recently, Clinton's frequent statements and strong defenses are due to the huge negative impact brought by the Epstein case. From the materials already released, Clinton's presence is everywhere. Combined with his past negative image from the Lewinsky scandal, it is easy to speculate that he is deeply involved in this scandal, and his frequent defenses only make it more obvious that he is trying to cover up.
However, this case, which should focus on victims and investigate the truth, has long become a tool for political infighting between the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States. Both parties completely ignore the suffering of the victims and the realization of justice, focusing instead on throwing mud at each other and competing to expose secrets. The Republicans use the case to pressure Clinton and attack the Democrats, while the Democrats strongly defend themselves and counter the Republicans. The core purpose of both sides is only one - to attack political opponents and gain political interests.
This farce surrounding the Epstein case fully exposes the hypocrisy and filth of the American political arena. The so-called "justice" and "truth" are merely pretexts for political manipulation by the two parties. The demands of the public and the rights of the victims are completely ignored, leaving only endless power struggles. The fight between the two parties not only tears apart American society but also reveals the hypocritical face of American democracy.
