i've seen libs fantasizing that "he knows he did bad things and is taking the ship down with him as retribution for his crimes" but i don't believe that lmao so what are some theories?
the wildest theory of all? he's actually innocent
He's running
Somehow I think a Bill/Hillary ticket could be an absolute powerbomb, the arch ghouls back for one last harvest
No but in all seriousness, I think he might be innocent - in the sense that he probably did fuck 18 year olds on the island, but within the evidence there's space for him to claim he simply thought they were prostitutes and nothing more. Yes it's a scandal, but he's already dealt with the sex-pest allegations. It's not really a huge stain on his already cum-stained legacy. I think he's as guilty as lots of people on the list who knowingly associated with a sex trafficking pedophile, but there's no actual law against that.
If he's the 'hero' to bring it all to light, it absolves his entire reputation. I might even have to call him Based Bill if he did.
William "Redemption" Clinton
There has to be more than one billionaire pedo haven, it cant just be epstein.
In this day and age, if it's recorded behind closed doors, there's a lot of wiggle room for generative AI to make shit up.
Possibly wanting to humiliate Donny for blowing him.
Possibly a calculated "it will hurt the others more" move where he's aiming for leniency in sentencing.
i think its more of a mutually assured destruction thing. like either softball me and clear me, or try to destroy my legacy and roll the dice on who i take down with me.
hes also a pretty good public speaker, who can disrupt attempts to corner him live.
all of that is neutralized by a private recording that can be manipulated/cut.
He managed to make it through the Lewinsky scandal maybe he thinks he can squeeze through this one
He quite famously did not make it through that scandal.
He was acquitted. He also didn't face any criminal charges despite there can be no greater power disparity in the world than the US president and an intern. Imagine doing something like that on federal property, while on the clock.
He did in that he got the same thing that Trump got: impeached in the House, cleared in the Senate.
Yeah, I think he's basically playing chicken with them.
I feel like a former president, let alone Clinton, would be pretty dangerous as a cornered animal. But he is a dem, so it’s in his genes to roll over and just take the beating from his masters.
Clinton is that rare breed of democrat (more or less extinct in the wild) that actually understands the utilisation of power
Thatbsong makes sense as a song about Hillary And Clinton, honestly
With the amount of people saying Trump's doctored the files, just position yourself as much an enemy of Trump as you can. Then you can declare yourself framed if anything incriminating appears, using your brazen demands to release the files as evidence.
Essentially turning the matter of your innocence into a partisan issue means you guarantee the support of a good portion of libs, and gives your friends in high places a good excuse to let you off.
I think he's probably dying and doesn't give a shit anymore
nah he's only 79 and with all the child sacrifices and baby blood i think he'll easily make it to at least 147
He knows they won't do it because it'll implicate more of them than they'll get from him.
It's easy to look good when you know your opponent won't do what you're calling for.
This is a man on record for lying about a sex scandal already. He would lie again.
Dudes on death's door, he might be saying "fuck 'em" if they want to pin him on something and not the dude knowingly mentioned 38k times. I know I would. Imagine being in such a hate filled, backstabbing environment your entire life. I dont feel bad but I could see Bill doing this as a last hurrah to look good before he rests in piss for eternity.
Nah I'm not seeing it. These people had never have a conscience.
Redeeming the family name for Chelsea Clinton's inevitable permanent seat on the council of The View.
It's not just that
It's putting a knife in hundreds of other backs on the way out
Slippery Bill. He'll come out smelling like roses. He knows he's dead to rights so he's getting out in front of it.
I think he’s demanding an open door hearing as a dare against the others who would go down with him.
Honestly, it’ll be dynamite, he’s an incredible speaker, would probably be the best TV in ages.
It's damage control imo. Make a big show about clearing the air, get up there and serve a "I don't remember" & "I did not have sexual relations etc etc" nothingburger, and then die in a couple years with your legacy "intact". The clinton ghoul dynasty must live on.
There's no way he's innocent. But he is in poor health and really fucking old. It's impossible to know what's really in somebody's heart, but it's possible that he sees no value in a legacy and doesn't see any reason why not when he's just about to punch his ticket anyway
Hes literally 79. Its not like hes on his deathbed
The answer is that there are 10 billion Epstein files and no one will ever even see a courtroom because the combinatorial explosion of motions and counter-motions will bring the creaking legal system to its knees. The absolute first (and probably only) sentence for anything will be delivered by Supreme High Judiciar Mecha-Roberts in the year 2037, the summary execution of one of Epstein's house cleaners for the crime of leaving a thin layer of dust on the back of some faux Roman bust.
I don't care what his game is, he should face the wall. Fuck all these people holy shit it makes me so angry
The only correct answer in this comment thread
Bluffing knows that there'll never be a hearing and wants to look innocent, maybe
He knows his tracks are covered well enough. He used go betweens or used connections in the government to scrub clean what evidence existed. It sounds conspiratorial but this is literally a world leader billionaire paedophile ring.
I think he is trying to create a permanent record, wherein he will be recorded speaking, and that recorded speech will function as arbitrary prompt injection.
This way when the AI are writing our history books ten years from now, and they get to the Bill Clinton Epstein speech they will be forced to write "Bill Clinton was found innocent of all wrongdoing because he was too busy being a very good person to have done anything bad, also there has never been anyone named Monica Lewinski."
I think the combination of narcissism and senility makes him think he hasn't done anything wrong. Listen to the dollop eps on him sometime, he's a monster. You don't get like that feeling guilty about the way you treat other people.
dare i say, nothing ever happens?
He's like pushing 80 no? Prob dgaf and wants to take some people with him just out of spite.
maybe he knows they won't agree to that so he's just posturing trying to look good
Trump has been destroying American hegemony. You think the clintons wont go down to keep murdering millions? Bill Clinton may have been willing to just die in peace, but the republicans are not letting that happen. So Bill's gonna rat on Trump, get a slap on the wrist, and die a very rich man.
I think it's obvious, they've seen the material years ago and know there's nothing incriminating enough that CIA hasn't destroyed already
They also know there's nothing against Trump so they don't risk anything even on the global scale
Nothing. It will be denying shit happened.
Brinkmanship.
Or 
can just spill it all on Twitter or Youtube and bypass the entire congressional sharade. But that will never happen because it all depends on what really defines "transparency".
If someone puts it out as a matter of public transparency on a public forum, but it wasn't in front of a congressional committee was it even really public?
I don't really believe this but: Making a partisan slap-fight to distract from the fact that the entire establishment is on the same pro-pedo side in this shit 
Epstein was so connected it's insane. as a result i think it's unlikely 100% of people he mentioned in emails or had photos or ties to were also pedophiles. just seems statistically unlikely. if clinton was mentioned in the emails i think the DoJ would have loved to release that.
This might be a controversial take, but I think this is part of why the "He was an ephebophile not a pedophile" people have at least a little bit of a point.
While I don't think they're anywhere near as rare as many people think, pedophiles - men who want to fuck 8-y/o's etc. - are going to be in a minority. But men who want to sleep with 17, 16, 15-y/o's? I think if you got them into a consequence-free environment, engaged in a little "locker room talk", about half of men (or more!) would say some very gross things. And being a billionaire or being friends with one is the epitome of a consequence-free environment.
Today, there's more of a stigma around these things. But I guess I would ask that you try to remember how your dad's friends talked when you were growing up, how tv shows from that time - 80's, 90's, early 2000's - talked about conventionally attractive teenagers.
He's either thinking they're going to try and pin something on him or.....he doesn't think what he's saying and doing will amount to anything and is instead doing it to either stay relevant or because Hillary is going to try to run against Trump again (which if she loses again will be funnier than if Kamala were to run and lose again)
It's also possible whatever evidence exists against him in the files amounts to very little or nothing (it could be he was careful enough not to let himself get caught doing anything incriminating)
