Jeffrey Epstein has claimed that Hillary Clinton had a sexual relationship with former attorney Vince Foster. This assertion comes in the wake of ongoing investigations into Epstein"s activities and connections.

Vince Foster, who served as Deputy White House Counsel during the Clinton administration, died by suicide under circumstances that have been described as mysterious in 1993. His death has been the subject of various conspiracy theories and investigations over the years.

This latest claim by Epstein adds to the controversy surrounding his past associations and statements. Epstein has previously been involved in various political discussions, including proposing individuals to Peter Thiel and other officials in emails, as reported in recent developments.

Here ya go clown, straight from your "progressive" site so you don't have to read a site you conveniently refuse to visit when it will embarrass you.

Wow great now I know the site is just as unreliable as literally every other propaganda website like NYT and Reuters.

How about taking the same effort to debunk the content of the article if you believe there is anything untrue in there.

There nothing to debunk because this isn't a news story. Epstein, who has no particular reason to have inside information about an affair, said an affair happened, something that isn't itself illegal or particularly relevant to anyone who hasn't been eagerly looking for rumors to stir up conservative conspiracy theorists and distract from all the other Epstein revelations.

My first post said all of this. It wasn't questioning whether the story was true. I, an actual progressive, simply don't care because it's not newsworthy to progressive political discussion even if it is. Why do you think this is an important piece of news?

It's news because it's in the files which just came out. Apparently Epstein was close enough to Hillary or Vince at the time to know they had a relationship. Vince's 'suicide' could also have relations to Epstein too. But not much is known.

This is simply a piece of a puzzle of which the rest of the puzzle is missing. By itself it doesn't answer anything, but it certainly is news and politics.

Do you also think Trumps presence in the Epstein files has no relevance to politics? Or can you think one up? Also who's this?

See, shit like this just makes me side eye your motivations. The idea that liberals, let alone progressives, would have some instinct to protect Bill Clinton is something that only makes sense in conservative spaces. If he fucked children, I hope it's uncovered and he dies in prison. Conservatives are too immersed in their nonsense to differentiate between the conservative propaganda and things liberals actually care about and it spawns these dumb gotchas that anyone who actually had liberal friends would know were dumb. Stuff like pushing a rumor to feed the Vince Foster conspiracy and calling it "progressive".

Did Hilary Clinton fuck Bill's friend? I dunno. Do I care? Not in the slightest. And it's sure as hell not because I like Hilary Clinton.
