House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) urged former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday to comply with a subpoena requesting their testimony detailing their connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
If someone doesnt comply with a subpoena weve seen it happen in the past, in both my committee, as well as on the Jan. 6 committee, when the Democrats had the majority and you can hold them in contempt of Congress. And with a Republican attorney general, thats something that I think that the Clinton legal team is going to think long and hard about, Comer said during an appearance on NewsNations The Hill.
Youre not going to have a lot of sympathy, probably from the Trump DOJ if the Clintons failed to comply with a bipartisan, congressionally approved subpoena, which is what that was, he added.
Comer said bipartisan support is going to make it hard for the former president to dodge the congressional investigation.

Comer must think everyone is as stupid as he is. There are so many pictures of Trump with Epstein but none with Epstein and the Clintons. Not everyone is in the MAGA circle jerk Comer so you might try pulling your head out of your ass.

And the Clintons are sophisticated and in the know.
While in office they had to know or hear something about Epstein and Trump.

That will get Trumps attention.

(79,257 posts)The Clintons would have zero problems in testifying about Jeffery Epstein. There are, of course, photographs of Bill with Epstein. They are not a problem.

And he might give some answers that blow up in their face. But mainly he'll remind people about what we used to have in a president vs what we have now. I'm not sure Republicans and/or Trump want that.

(3,993 posts)Questions with republican bullshit lines. "Benghazi", "Russia Russia Russia", "Lock Her Up", etc. No matter what the question is. Maybe even respond with the quote that TSF gave the New Yorker about Epstein.
I know it will never happen, but it would be hysterical.
