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.
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”!
There is no “D” either so the Clintons get a free pass too.
Oh no, Bill Clinton has definitely exposed his “D” to some consequences in his time …

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
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
Lock her up
Lock him up
Lock trump and all his cronies up
Why? Politics? Nope, because they’re all criminals who committed crimes.
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.
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.
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.
If Trump and his cabal don’t have to respect the law, why does anyone else?
Are there democrats on that committee at could ask if Bill was the bubba referenced in the files?
Asking the important questions! And how was Donald’s suck technique?
Bill’s an ass in many ways but at least he turned the deficit around
Just say you don’t want to implicate Donald.
Jail for them is literally a tax-paid resort. The worst for them is better than you and I suffer through in employment
Any dental is an admission of guilt.
Especially molars.
They a root canal to get to the bottom of this
Who doesn’t hold congress in contempt given whom they choose to question and whom they don’t?
Now this is a distraction from the Epstein files, but fuck it do it anyway.
they must have had one fucked up fling on epstein island for him to be this butthurt about it, probably because of Bill’s Dick
