Former US president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said Tuesday, January 13, they will refuse to comply with a congressional subpoena for them to testify in an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons slammed a Republican-controlled committee’s attempts as “legally invalid” as GOP lawmakers prepare contempt of Congress proceedings against them. In a letter released on social media Tuesday, the Clintons told the chair of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Representative James Comer, he was on the cusp of a process “literally designed to result in our imprisonment.”
Comer said he will begin contempt of Congress proceedings next week. That would potentially start a complicated and politically messy process that Congress has rarely reached for.
The worst part of this is they see it as a “look, you’re going to defend your people so don’t come after ours, checkmate, we’re super brainy, our way wins” whereas in reality, if they broke the law, fuck em. Anybody who breaks the law and pulls some shit deserves what they get, regardless of “politic view”
