Appear for Epstein Hearings Dec. 17 or Face Contempt of Congress Proceedings – RedState

Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed in early August by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-01) to appear before them as they investigate the perverted antics of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, and who may have known about it or even participated in it.





Meanwhile, the Democrats have been in a froth lately trying to prove that President Donald Trump somehow joined forces with Epstein to procure underage women, but so far they have mostly succeeded in embarrassing people in their own world (see: former Harvard University president Larry Summers).

Since those subpoenas were issued, the Clintons have delayed, rescheduled, and just generally done just about everything in their power to ensure that they don’t have to testify. Comer is getting sick of it and is threatening to have them held in contempt of Congress:

The tweet continues:

Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee staff’s efforts to schedule their testimony. If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable

The obvious question becomes: if Billary have nothing to hide, why not just show up and tell the truth? In a statement, the Oversight Committee said the time for patience has just about run out:

“If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable,” he added.

The Kentucky Republican gave the Clintons a Dec. 17 deadline to respond.

In August, Comer said Clinton was a “prime suspect” in the investigation and warned him against defying a subpoena for his testimony. The former president’s spokesperson denied any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein.

Bill might be reluctant to testify because, as much as the Dems try to tie the scandal to Donald Trump, it was the former president who flew on Epstein’s plane, dubbed the Lolita Express, allegedly as many as 27 times (Clinton acknowledges only four). He might also be embarrassed by the bizarre portrait of him in a blue dress that hung in Epstein’s massive Manhattan townhouse, or the photo of the former president getting a massage from an Epstein jet flight attendant.





Although a contempt of Congress finding can sometimes mean nothing — just ask Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder, who faced no consequences despite being held in contempt for his refusal to turn over documents related to the “Fast and Furious” gun-trafficking case — it can have teeth if the Department of Justice decides to come down with formal charges. This is something former aides in Trump’s first presidency know well: both Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon went to prison after the DOJ prosecuted them for their alleged transgressions.

It would be quite something to see Billary prosecuted. They could avoid that prospect, however, and just show up like the guiltless couple they claim to be. The clock is ticking, and this certainly could become Must-See TV.
