Here’s why the Clintons say they won’t testify.
They just told James Comer to go ahead and hold them in contempt - they’ll wait. Their letter, dated today, is four pages of “we see exactly what you’re doing.” The Clintons point out that Comer subpoenaed eight people in his Epstein investigation, dismissed seven without a word, and has interviewed a grand total of two witnesses. Two.
They’ve got lawyers saying his subpoenas are legally invalid, and they’re calling out the obvious: Comer said nothing when Trump took the exact same position three years ago. The Epstein files only came out because four Republicans broke ranks to force a vote. Comer wasn’t one of them. He won’t subpoena the Attorney General to make DOJ comply with the law Congress passed. But he’s ready to bring the whole chamber to a halt for contempt charges against the Clintons.
The threat is barely veiled.
They’re prepared to take this public, make their case to all 45 committee members, and frame the whole thing as Comer protecting his friends while punishing his enemies. They’re basically saying: if you want to grind Congress to a standstill over us instead of passing laws, that works too - we’ll call it our contribution to slowing down the Republican agenda. The letter ends with the kind of line you write when you want it quoted: “Continue to abet the dismantling of America, and you will learn that it takes more than a wrecking ball to demolish what Americans have built over 250 years.”

Yep, it's an unserious partisan witch hunt. He's already called their bluff and told them to release all the Epstein files. Which they've refused to do. Then rather than start with seriously implicated people (trump). They're all like hey Bill, GOP fishing expedition? For old times sake. (This isn't Bill's first one of those) Bill may be a philandering sexual predator and tool of the petite bourgeoisie. Who happily associated with truly horrible people. (Trump and Epstein) But he's not braindead. And 💯% making the right call as long as these partisan little shits refuse to be transparent with the files.
