Ought to be an interesting day in Congress next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\nHouse Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Wednesday the panel plans to move forward with contempt of Congress proceedings against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she defied a subpoena for a deposition as part of the panel’s probe into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
It comes a day after Comer, a Republican, said the committee plans to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress as well after he refused to appear for a scheduled deposition. Comer said the committee will vote next Wednesday on holding the Clintons in contempt of Congress.<\/p>\n
“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined her husband in defying a bipartisan, lawful congressional subpoena to show up today,” Comer said, later adding, “We’re going to hold both Clintons in criminal contempt of Congress.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’ll believe it when I see it, but it’s nice to at least see a threat of action on the Epstein case. The Clintons, of course, blame it all on partisan politics.<\/p>\n
\n“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,”\u00a0the\u00a0Clintons wrote in the letter. “For us, now is that time.”<\/p>\n
The Clintons blasted Comer, saying in the letter that, “There is no plausible explanation for what you are doing other than partisan politics.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, I remember them protesting a few Trump impeachments as just partisan… wait, they didn’t. The Russia dossier wasn’t just partisan – no, it was too.\u00a0 Face it, by now, even whether you dress left or right signals a partisan decision, if you’re in Washington. One of their many lawyers sent the following:<\/p>\n
\nHillary Clinton “has no personal knowledge of Epstein or Maxwell’s criminal activities, never flew on his aircraft, never visited his island, and cannot recall ever speaking to Epstein. She has no personal knowledge of Maxwell’s activities with Epstein,” Kendall wrote.\u00a0“President Clinton’s contact with Epstein ended two decades ago, and given what came to light much after, he has expressed regret for even that limited association,” an Oct. 6 letter to the committee says.<\/p>\n
Neither Bill Clinton nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing and denies having any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. No Epstein survivor or associate has ever made a public allegation of wrongdoing or inappropriate behavior by the former president or his wife in connection with his prior relationship with Epstein.\u00a0\u00a0ABC News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Me, I’d be more impressed with that ‘two decades ago’ if Epstein hadn’t been charged in 2006 and became political anathema.<\/p>\n
Make ’em testify. Heck, I’d ask for testimony from ANYONE on the flight logs. They have nothing to hide, they should have no problem. You want to root out cockroaches, shine a light on ’em – regardless of what political office they held. Or hold.<\/p>\n
