Bill and Hillary Clinton announced they would not comply with a subpoena demanding congressional testimony about their relationships to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, while launching an extraordinary attack on Republicans and Donald Trump.

Bill Clinton’s subpoena commanded him to appear for testimony by Tuesday, and Hillary Clinton by Wednesday. After the former president did not show up, Comer told reporters at the Capitol that he would move to hold him in contempt next week.

“I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee. This wasn’t something that I just issued as chairman of the committee,” Comer said.

“No one’s accusing Bill Clinton of anything, any wrongdoing. We just have questions, and that’s why the Democrats voted along with Republicans to subpoena Bill Clinton.”

Clinton was known to be friendly with Epstein in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before the financier pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor in Florida.

I want to agree, but at the same time this admin is going to be desperate for any reason to hang literally anyone out to dry.

Both things can be true. Clinton is guilty as hell AND Trump wants another diversion. I guess Greenland isn't enough.

Oh, sure. They are not implied nor exclusive.

I'm just thinking in a world where he didn't do anything wrong in this particular instance, I still buy him not wanting to be railroaded by complete morons.

I hope they hang the Clintons. 🤡-on-🤡 violence as far as I'm concerned.
