Oversight committee chair James Comer said that he will move to hold former president Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify as part of the ongoing investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case. Speaking to reporters, the Republican lawmaker from Kentucky said that he will begin the proceedings during the committee’s markup period next week.
This comes legal representatives for both Bill and Hillary Clinton sent an eight-page letter to Comer notifying him that they would not comply with the subpoenas compelling them to appear before the committee to deliver in-person testimony.
“To my knowledge, former president Clinton has never answered questions about Epstein, and we just had questions,” Comer said today. “I think anyone would admit they spent a lot of time together while Bill Clinton was president and post-presidency.”
Depending on the type of contempt citation, Clinton could either be forced to comply with the subpoena by a federal court, or even face prosecution by the justice department.
Who doesn’t hold congress in contempt given whom they choose to question and whom they don’t?
These two have a chance to do something right, to show real leadership and responsibility, and to kick the fucking doors open and shine the light of day on the whole damn mess.
How many working years do they have left? How viable are they as politicians? What purpose does trying to save their own image serve? Do they really think people give a shit about them anymore? Do they really think they’re relevant as anything other than a symbol of why their party has failed the nation?
Fucking spineless.
Any dental is an admission of guilt.
Especially molars.
Lock her up
Lock him up
Lock trump and all his cronies up
Why? Politics? Nope, because they’re all criminals who committed crimes.
If Trump and his cabal don’t have to respect the law, why does anyone else?
Just say you don’t want to implicate Donald.
Come on Bill, just go in there and let them ask you that question. Did you have sex with Donald Trump? And then reply, I did not have sexual relations with that man.
You owe it to us. You owe it to the country you had to deal with your bullshit in the 90s.
Why is Bondi not being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the Epstein/Trump files? Total clown show.
Hasn’t Trump demonstrated that contempt of congress has no consequences?
Only if you have the magic ® after your name, because there’s no “R” in “Consequences”!
The only difference between the Left and the Right is the Left wants to see Clinton in jail, but the Right doesn’t want to see Trump in jail
Clintons are center-right neoliberals. They in no way represent anything Left, which has no representation in the USA’s federal government. Hell, even Mamdani as a Social Democrat is just Centre-Left.
Yes and Mamdani is the best you can get since your system is so fucked up that the 2 major parties are both right wing
We have the same problem in Canada, the overton window slithered towards authoritarianism with the takeover of the ‘Progressive’ Conservatives by the Reform party, and the various provincial centre left NDP parties sometimes get power but each time by slipping into the centre.
Doing what they can to divert attention from Trump’s presence in the Epstein files after not doing fuck all about anything else.
clinton saying under oath trump sucked him off would be great soundbite, and possibly shatter some maga brains would be hilarious
Yeah, and this probably isn’t even in the top 10 for terrible things the Clintons have done to politics in this country
Depending on the type of contempt citation, Clinton could either be forced to comply with the subpoena by a federal court, or even face prosecution by the justice department.
Ill believe it when I see it, too much gesturing and posturing these days. Lock him up.
Yes, we should lock trump and the clintons up for ignoring all of those subpoenas.
Does any prison have a presidential cell?
Call it The Imperial Suite, you could probably get him to go in
Lol. Thinking of all the republicans who couldn’t be bothered to show up for their subpoenas. This game can be played both ways.
Right. All the people here upset with the Clintons for not going to “explain themselves” are missing the point. They have already tried that route, it led nowhere. Remember how many times Hillary was called in to explain her emails?! Trump and the Republicans decided that Congress has no power and the rule of law doesn’t matter. Nobody should comply with them.
Look… bill is a known sex pest and hilary is a politician with a LOT of skeletons in her closet (also way better at politics than bubba ever was but…).
Any testimonial is going to be tainted by the prosecution. Expect questions like “Is it true that you are a liar who framed our dear president donald j trump” and similar. And even if the objections are recognized (as they should be), it is out there. “Hilary Clinton doesn’t deny claims that she framed our dear rapist in chief!” and so forth.
Just because you have very strong feelings as to what should happen to people who rape children doesn’t mean you support them being put through a kangaroo court. Especially when it is in service to protecting a different rapist.
Lock him up. Kick him in the balls and lock him up.
Fuck all these people. They knew all this shit was going on and either took part in it themselves or let it happen when they actually had power to stop it.
