This is Clinton's only mode. She doesn't have another. She's a lawyer from Chicago ffs.

The problem was never Clinton, who was always a very popular politician except for whenever she was running.
The problem is strong women are popular right up until they ask for a promotion. https://t.co/prLqOy7I27
Hillary Clinton is a sharp lawyer and she made an important point in that testimony the other day about why the committee should be particularly suspicious of Trump’s relationship with Epstein and should call him, of all people, to testify. It’s about the pattern of behavior over many, many years.
During her Feb. 26, 2026 testimony, Hillary Clinton said President Donald Trump should be questioned under oath about his appearances in the Epstein files, citing his civil liability in the E. Jean Carroll case and his 2024 criminal convictions over hush money payments. She argued these reflected a “pattern” relevant to the committee’s inquiry. Trump has denied wrongdoing in all matters and is seeking Supreme Court review of the Carroll verdict.
I would argue that the Access Hollywood tape and the credible accusations by dozens of other women about his assaults is also relevant. And as I’ve noted before even the deposition in his first divorce by former wife Ivanka indicates that he was prone to sexual violence.
There were a lot of people who had relationships with Epstein. Some of it certainly had to do with women but the majority of them also cultivated him over money, power and his vast network of contacts and friends as well. With Trump it was all about the women. The NY Times had this piece about their relationship a couple of months ago:
Beginning in the late 1980s, the two men forged a bond intense enough to leave others who knew them with the impression that they were each other’s closest friend, The Times found. Mr. Epstein was then a little-known financier who cultivated mystery around the scope and source of his self-made wealth. Mr. Trump, six years older, was a real estate scion who relished publicity and exaggerated his successes. Neither man drank or did drugs. They pursued women in a game of ego and dominance. Female bodies were currency.
Over nearly two decades, as Mr. Trump cut a swath through the party circuits of New York and Florida, Mr. Epstein was perhaps his most reliable wingman. During the 1990s and early 2000s, they prowled Mr. Epstein’s Manhattan mansion and Mr. Trump’s Plaza Hotel, at least one of Mr. Trump’s Atlantic City casinos and both their Palm Beach homes. They visited each other’s offices and spoke often by phone, according to other former Epstein employees and women who spent time in his homes.
With other men, Mr. Epstein might discuss tax shelters, international affairs or neuroscience. With Mr. Trump, he talked about sex.
Trump was very close with Epstein and his relationship with him was entirely based on their pursuit of women. I would say that makes him a prime suspect in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
I mean, all you really have to see is this:
