After refusing a subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee and only after it became clear the committee that includes several Democrat members would vote to hold them in contempt of Congress, Bill and Hillary Clinton announced they would give sworn depositions concerning what they know about the convicted sex offender, the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The Clintons will be put under oath, as is the usual practice with such depositions. Given their record of shading the truth and telling outright lies, why would anyone believe what they say?

Here are just a few examples of what is known about the two of them.

First, Bill. Who can forget that scene in the White House after the story broke about Monica Lewinsky? With Hillary standing by her man, Clinton pointed his index finger for emphasis and said: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”

That statement came while Clinton was being investigated for perjury, leading to his impeachment by the House but acquittal in the Senate. He later admitted the statement was false. His many defenders, including Cabinet members, made excuses for him, only to be humiliated when the truth emerged.
